Word breakdown
- आशापाशक्लेशदुर्वासनादि
- with divine fragrances offered by rising hosts of desire, bad habit and the rest
- भेदोद्युक्तैर्दिव्यगन्धैरमन्दैः
- may Shiva's foot-lotus of hope
- आशाशाटीकस्य पादारविन्दं
- make fragrant the chest of my mind
- चेतःपेटीं वासितां मे तनोतु
- make fragrant the chest of my mind
Hope's foot-lotus should fragrance the mind-chest. Offering divine scents against desire and bad habit purifies thought; the Self dwells in the mind made fragrant by devotion.
