Word breakdown
- जनित्री पिता च स्वपुत्रापराधं
- Does the mother and father not bear the faults of their son?
- सहेते न किं देवसेनाधिनाथ ।
- O Lord of Devasena;
- अहं चातिबालो भवान् लोकतातः
- I am exceedingly childish and you are father of the world;
- क्षमस्वापराधं समस्तं महेश
- forgive every offence, O Mahesha.
Parents forgive a child's faults; the world-father is asked to forgive all errors. The devotee approaches Skanda as a child appealing to the universal parent's boundless patience.
