सोऽहं दर्शनमात्रेण त्वदीयेन वरानने । मनोभवशरैर्विद्धः पतितः सहसा क्षितौ । अजल्पितवचो देवि मोहितस्तव तेजसा ॥ ४ ॥

ହେ ବରାନନେ! କେବଳ ତୁମ ଦର୍ଶନମାତ୍ରେ ମୁଁ ମନୋଭବ (କାମଦେବ)ଙ୍କ ଶରରେ ବିଦ୍ଧ ହୋଇ ସହସା ଭୂମିରେ ପଡ଼ିଗଲି। ହେ ଦେବୀ, ବାକ୍ ନିର୍ବାକ; ତୁମ ତେଜରେ ମୁଁ ବିମୋହିତ ॥ ୪ ॥

It portrays the overpowering force of desire (kāma) triggered by sense-contact (darśana), and how a being can become speechless and destabilized—implying the need for inner restraint and devotion-centered focus.
By highlighting how quickly the mind can be conquered by attraction, the verse indirectly supports bhakti as a stabilizing discipline—redirecting attention from sensory fascination to remembrance and worship of the Divine.
Vyākaraṇa/semantic clarity is evident in compounds like manobhava-śaraiḥ (instrumental plural) and the causal sense of tejasā (by radiance), showing how precise grammar conveys psychological causation—though no ritual or astrology instruction is explicit in this verse.
