कम्राकारा मुरारेः करकमलतलेनानुरागाद्गृहीता सम्यग्वृत्ता स्थिताग्रे सपदि न सहते दर्शनं या परेषाम् । राजन्ती दैत्यजीवासवमदमुदिता लोहितालेपनार्द्रा कामं दीप्तांशुकान्ता प्रदिशतु दयितेवास्य कौमोदकी नः ॥५॥
Study note
Word breakdown
- कम्राकारा मुरारेः करकमलतलेनानुरागाद्गृहीता
- Tenderly formed, held with love in Murari's lotus-palm,
- सम्यग्वृत्ता स्थिताग्रे सपदि न सहते दर्शनं या परेषाम्
- well-rounded, standing before Him, which instantly cannot bear others' sight,
- राजन्ती दैत्यजीवासवमदमुदिता लोहितालेपनार्द्रा
- shining, glad with the intoxication of demon life's essence, moist with red anointing,
- कामं दीप्तांशुकान्ता प्रदिशतु दयितेवास्य कौमोदकी नः
- may Kaumodaki, like a beloved jealous of bright rays, grant our wishes.
Kaumodaki held tenderly yet fiercely is the Lord's power that crushes pride while remaining inseparable from Him. The mace that cannot bear another's gaze mirrors the mind devoted solely to the one Self, intolerant of divided loyalty.
