āvāmagaṇayanmohādāsse tvaṃ vigataspṛhaḥ | ehyāgacchāvayoryuddhaṃ dehi tvaṃ kamalodbhava
মোহবশে তুমি আমাদের তুচ্ছ জেনে উপেক্ষা করেছ, তবু তুমি এখানে নিরাসক্ত হয়ে বসে আছ। এসো—নিকটে এসো! হে কমলোদ্ভব (ব্রহ্মা), আমাদের যুদ্ধ দাও।
Unclear from the single verse (context needed to identify the speaker precisely); the addressee is Brahmā (“Kamalodbhava”).
Concept: Delusion breeds disrespect toward the desireless; true strength is not mere aggression but alignment with cosmic order.
Application: Do not mistake calmness for passivity; cultivate inner detachment so provocations do not dictate your actions.

FAQs
“Kamalodbhava” means “born from the lotus” and is a standard epithet of Brahmā, referring to his lotus-origin in creation narratives.
It conveys accusation and challenge: the speaker(s) claim Brahmā ignored them “out of delusion,” and then demand that he “grant battle,” indicating a confrontational exchange.
The verse juxtaposes detachment with action: even one described as desireless may be drawn into responsibility or confrontation, highlighting tension between renunciation and engagement in cosmic duties.
