गुणत्रयेभ्योऽपि परो याथात्म्यं वेद कस्तव । वृषस्त्वं भगवान्देव यस्तुभ्यं कुरुते त्वघम्
guṇatrayebhyo'pi paro yāthātmyaṃ veda kastava | vṛṣastvaṃ bhagavāndeva yastubhyaṃ kurute tvagham
أنتَ متعالٍ حتى عن الغونات الثلاث؛ فمن ذا الذي يعرف حقيقتك حقًّا؟ يا ربًّا مباركًا، من يذنب في حقّك فليُعرَف بأنه «فْرِشا»؛ أي متجاوزٌ آثم.
Ṛṣis (continuing stuti context)
Scene: The deity is depicted as serene and transcendent, halo dissolving into formless light beyond the three guṇas (symbolized by three colored bands fading). A devotee bows, emphasizing humility and the gravity of offense.
