भवद्गौरवं मल्लघुत्वं विदित्वा प्रभो रक्ष कारुण्यदृष्ट्यानुगं माम् शिवात्मानुभावस्तुतावक्षमोऽहं स्वशक्त्या कृतं मेऽपराधं क्षमस्व ॥१९॥
Study note
Word breakdown
- भवद्गौरवं मल्लघुत्वं विदित्वा
- Knowing your greatness and my littleness,
- प्रभो रक्ष कारुण्यदृष्ट्यानुगं माम्
- O Lord, protect me following with a compassionate gaze.
- शिवात्मानुभावस्तुतावक्षमोऽहं
- I am unfit to praise the glory of Shiva-consciousness;
- स्वशक्त्या कृतं मेऽपराधं क्षमस्व
- forgive the offence I have committed by my own power.
Humility before the Lord's greatness opens the heart to grace. The devotee admits unfitness to praise yet trusts that Shiva forgives offences born of limited power.
