Word breakdown
- अव्यान्निर्घातघोरो हरिभुजपवनामर्शनाध्मातमूर्तेः
- Unfailing, thunderously terrible, the form inflated by the wind of Hari's arm's rubbing,
- अस्मान् विस्मेरनेत्रत्रिदशनुतिवचःसाधुकारैः सुतारः
- for us, with gods' wonder-filled eyes and clearly spoken words of praise, well-crossed,
- सर्वं संहर्तुमिच्छोररिकुलभुवनं स्फारविस्फारनादः
- wishing to destroy all the enemy hosts' worlds, with expanding, resounding sound,
- संयत्कल्पान्तसिन्धौ शरसलिलघटावार्मुचः कार्मुकस्य
- like a cloud at the kalpa's end-ocean, arrow-water jar raised - Sarnga's bow.
Sarnga's twang like clouds at world's end shakes the realms of ignorance and draws wonder from the gods. The bow's sound is the vibration of Om that dissolves the false worlds built by the ego's enmity toward truth.
