शिलापि त्वदङ्घ्रिक्षमासङ्गिरेणु- प्रसादाद्धि चैतन्यमाधत्त राम । नरस्त्वत्पदद्वन्द्वसेवाविधाना- त्सुचैतन्यमेतीति किं चित्रमत्र ॥१६॥
Study note
Word breakdown
- शिलापि त्वदङ्घ्रिक्षमासङ्गिरेणु-
- Even a stone, by the grace of dust clinging to your foot,
- प्रसादाद्धि चैतन्यमाधत्त राम ।
- attained consciousness, O Rama;
- नरस्त्वत्पदद्वन्द्वसेवाविधाना-
- that a person, by serving your twin feet,
- त्सुचैतन्यमेतीति किं चित्रमत्र
- attains pure consciousness - what wonder is there in this?
Ahalya's stone becoming conscious by foot-dust shows grace transforming inertia. Service of the feet is that same grace accepted.
