स्वदेहोद्भूताभिर्घृणिभिरणिमाद्याभिरभितो निषेव्ये नित्ये त्वामहमिति सदा भावयति यः । किमाश्चर्यं तस्य त्रिनयनसमृद्धिं तृणयतो महासंवर्ताग्निर्विरचयति नीराजनविधिम् ॥३०॥
Study note
Word breakdown
- घृणिभिः
- with radiant powers
- अणिमाद्याभिः
- beginning with aṇimā
- त्रिनयनसमृद्धिम्
- the prosperity of three eyes
- संवर्ताग्निः
- the fire of dissolution
Whoever constantly contemplates 'I am serving the eternal You' while surrounded by the radiant powers of aṇimā and others born from his own body - what wonder that the great dissolution-fire performs āratī for him who treats Śiva's three-eyed prosperity as insignificant? This verse describes the highest siddhi where even cosmic powers naturally serve the realized devotee.
