यथाब्धेस्तरङ्गा लयं यान्ति तुङ्गा- स्तथैवापदः सन्निधौ सेवतां मे । इतीवोर्मिपङ्क्तीर्नृणां दर्शयन्तं सदा भावये हृत्सरोजे गुहं तम् ॥५॥

Word breakdown
- यथाब्धेस्तरङ्गा लयं यान्ति तुङ्गा-
- As towering waves of the ocean dissolve in rest,
- स्तथैवापदः सन्निधौ सेवतां मे ।
- so troubles perish at the feet of those who serve me -
- इतीवोर्मिपङ्क्तीर्नृणां दर्शयन्तं
- thus showing rows of waves to men,
- सदा भावये हृत्सरोजे गुहं तम्
- I always meditate Guha in the heart-lotus.
Troubles perish at the Lord's feet as waves break on the shore; Guha is meditated in the heart-lotus. The image of waves subsiding teaches that calamities dissolve in the presence of the inner Lord.
