Rudra’s Hymn: Vision of Nārāyaṇa, the Emergence of the Ādityas, and the Mutual Boon of Hari and Hara
इति प्रकाशं कृतमेतदीश स्तवं मया सर्वगतं विबुद्ध्वा । संसारचक्रक्रममाणयुक्त्या भीतं पुनीह्यच्युत केवलत्वम् ॥ ७३.३७ ॥
iti prakāśaṁ kṛtam etad īśa stavaṁ mayā sarvagataṁ vibuddhvā | saṁsāracakrakramamāṇayuktyā bhītaṁ punīhy acyuta kevalatvam || 73.37 ||
प्रभु, मैंने यह स्तुति लिखी है क्योंकि मैं समझ गया कि तुम हर जगह हो। मैं इस जनम-मरण के चक्कर में फंस गया हूँ, इसलिए डर लग रहा है। अच्युत भगवन, मुझे साफ कर दो और मुक्ति दे दो।
