tiṣṭha tat tāta vimatsaras tvam
ātiṣṭha tat tāta vimatsaras tvam
uktaṁ samātrāpi yad avyalīkam
ārādhayādhokṣaja-pāda-padmaṁ
yadīcchase 'dhyāsanam uttamo yathā
If you desire to be seated like your brother, then without envy of Suruci, execute the true words uttered by her: “Worship the lotus feet of the Lord.”
Suruci is equivalent to your mother (samātrā), though she wants to harm you. Do what she has said. What is true (avyalīkam) is not comfortable to hear. But worshipping the Lord is not uncomfortable for anyone. Therefore, give up hatred of Suruci. My weeping has been written on my forehead by the creator since birth. (It is my karma.) You should be happy.
|| 4.8.20 ||
yasyāṅghri-padmaṁ paricarya viśva-
vibhāvanāyātta-guṇābhipatteḥ
ajo 'dhyatiṣṭhat khalu pārameṣṭhyaṁ
padaṁ jitātma-śvasanābhivandyam
By worshipping the lotus feet of the Lord who is worshipped by those who control the mind and breath, and who assumes sattva-guṇa for maintaining the universe, Brahmā attained his supreme position.
“Will I enter the womb of that sinful woman by worshipping the Lord?” She is such vile creature. Your father, her servant, is also vile and foolish. You can attain a position greater than that of Brahmā. Therefore quickly go from here and worship the Lord. Do not lament! This is explained in four verses. Brahmā worshipped the feet of the Lord who has accepted the position of controller of sattva-guṇa for maintaining the universe, feet which are adored by the yogīs who have controlled their minds and prāṇas.
