Shloka 68

ब्रह्मनारायणस्तवः — शिवस्य प्रभवत्व-प्रतिपादनम्

Devanagari script

ध्यायते जृम्भते चैव रुदते द्रवते नमः वल्गते क्रीडते चैव लम्बोदरशरीरिणे

Transliteration

dhyāyate jṛmbhate caiva rudate dravate namaḥ valgate krīḍate caiva lambodaraśarīriṇe

Translation

السلامُ والسجودُ لذي الجسدِ ذي البطنِ المتدلّي—لمن يتأمّل، ويتثاءب، ويبكي، ويذوبُ رحمةً؛ لمن يقفزُ ويلعب. هكذا يُمدَحُ الربّ الذي تجري حريّتُه اللِّيلائيّة عبر كلّ الأحوال، ومع ذلك يبقى «پَتي» المتعالي عن القيود.
