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
നീ സർവ്വലോകങ്ങളുടെ ത്രാതാവും ജഗത്തിന്റെ സ്രഷ്ടാവും ആകുന്നു, ഹേ പ്രഭോ. ത്രിലോകം നീ ഉപേക്ഷിക്കരുത്—ഇതേയാണ് എന്റെ വരം।
