विशालेषु कर्णान्तदीर्घेष्वजस्रं दयास्यन्दिषु द्वादशस्वीक्षणेषु । मयीषत्कटाक्षः सकृत्पातितश्चे- द्भवेत्ते दयाशील का नाम हानिः ॥१५॥

Word breakdown
- विशालेषु कर्णान्तदीर्घेष्वजस्रं
- In the twelve long eyes extending to the ear-ends,
- दयास्यन्दिषु द्वादशस्वीक्षणेषु ।
- ever streaming with mercy,
- मयीषत्कटाक्षः सकृत्पातितश्चे-
- if even a slight sidelong glance is cast on me,
- द्भवेत्ते दयाशील का नाम हानिः
- O gracious one, what loss could there be?
With twelve long merciful eyes, what loss if the Lord casts a single sidelong glance? One glance of Skanda's compassion outweighs every worldly gain.
