nimeṣakāṣṭhādimayaḥ kālarūpakṣaṇātmakaḥ | prasīda svecchayā rūpaṃ svaṃ tejaḥ śamanaṃ kuru | tvaṃ deva jagatāṃ hetorduḥkhaṃ sahasi duḥsaham

Translation

നിമേഷം, കാഷ്ഠാ മുതലായവകൊണ്ട് നിർമ്മിതമായ കാലസ്വരൂപാ, ക്ഷണാത്മക സമയരൂപാ—പ്രസന്നനാകണമേ. സ്വേച്ഛയാൽ നിന്റെ പ്രകാശപ്രകടനം മൃദുവാക്കി, നിന്റെ തേജസ്സിനെ ശമിപ്പിക്കണമേ. ഹേ ദേവാ, ലോകങ്ങളുടെ ഹിതാർത്ഥം നീ അസഹ്യ ദുഃഖം സഹിക്കുന്നു।
