Durvasa’s Curse, the Churning of the Ocean, and Lakshmi’s Manifestation
Chapter 4
त्वं त्राता सर्वलोकानां स्रष्टा त्वं जगतः प्रभो । त्रैलोक्यं न त्वया त्याज्यमेष एव वरो मम
tvaṃ trātā sarvalokānāṃ sraṣṭā tvaṃ jagataḥ prabho | trailokyaṃ na tvayā tyājyameṣa eva varo mama
أنت حامي جميع العوالم، وأنت خالق الكون، يا ربّ. لا ينبغي لك أن تهجر العوالم الثلاثة؛ فهذا وحده هو عطائي المطلوب.

Sandhi Resolution Notes: सर्वलोकानां = सर्व-लोकानाम्; त्रैलोक्यं = त्रि-लोक्यम् (द्विगु); त्याज्यमेष = त्याज्यम् + एषः (सन्धि).
It presents the Lord as both creator (sraṣṭā) and protector (trātā), stressing divine responsibility for sustaining the cosmos (trailokya).
Not directly; it focuses on cosmic governance and the safeguarding of the three worlds rather than naming specific tīrthas or regions.
It elevates welfare of all beings over private gain: the speaker asks the deity to continue protecting the worlds, emphasizing stewardship, compassion, and responsibility.
