Word breakdown
- अथ कथमपि मद्रसनां त्वद्गुणलेशैर्विशोधयामि विभो
- Now somehow, O Lord, I shall purify my wicked tongue with a few drops of your virtues.
- साम्ब सदाशिव शम्भो शङ्कर शरणं मे तव चरणयुगम्
- Samba, Sadashiva, Shambho, Shankara - may your pair of feet be my refuge.
Praise begins by confessing impurity and seeking refuge in Shiva's feet. Surrender turns the restless mind from self-assertion toward the Lord who is one's own inner reality.
