taṁ tvāṁ vayaṁ nātha samujjihānaṁ
taṁ tvāṁ vayaṁ nātha samujjihānaṁ
saroja-nābhāticirepsitārtham
dṛṣṭvā gatā nirvṛtam adya sarve
gajā davārtā iva gāṅgam ambhaḥ
O lotus-navel lord! O master! Having seen you, the long desired goal of life, who have directly appeared before us, we have all attained bliss today, just as elephants afflicted by a forest fire attain bliss in the water of the Gaṅgā.
We have become successful. O lord with a lotus navel! You are the object long desired, the final goal of life.
|| 8.6.14 ||
sa tvaṁ vidhatsvākhila-loka-pālā
vayaṁ yad arthās tava pāda-mūlam
samāgatās te bahir-antar-ātman
kiṁ vānya-vijñāpyam aśeṣa-sākṣiṇaḥ
Please accomplish the purpose for which we, the protectors of all the planets, have come to your lotus feet. O soul within everything! What else can be informed to you, the witness of everything?
Please accomplish what we came for (yad arthāḥ). If you say, “Please tell me clearly what you want” then we say that you are the soul with all. You witness everything unlimitedly. What other thing can we inform to you?
|| 8.6.15 ||
ahaṁ giritraś ca surādayo ye
dakṣādayo 'gner iva ketavas te
kiṁ vā vidāmeśa pṛthag-vibhātā
vidhatsva śaṁ no dvija-deva-mantram
What can I, Lord Śiva and all the devatās and Prajāpatis like Dakṣa, being like sparks of a fire, manifested separately, understand about our welfare? O Supreme Lord, please give us the means of deliverance for the brāhmaṇas and devatās.
“You are not omniscient, but you are very intelligence and clever. So please tell the solution to this problem, so that even though you can do nothing, I can accomplish it.” We are like sparks of a fire. Ketu means a spark or a flag, according to the dictionary. We are manifested from you with separate forms. We do not know what is best (śam) for us at all. Therefore you must do what is most beneficial. And teach a method for the brāhmaṇas and devatās. Let our intelligence and cleverness go to hell!
