विनेशुः सर्वतेजांसि त्वत्प्रसादात्पुनः प्रभो । जायते तु यथापूर्वं तथा कुरु महेश्वर
vineśuḥ sarvatejāṃsi tvatprasādātpunaḥ prabho | jāyate tu yathāpūrvaṃ tathā kuru maheśvara
ସମସ୍ତ ତେଜ ନଶିଗଲା; ହେ ପ୍ରଭୋ, ତୁମ ପ୍ରସାଦରେ ସେଗୁଡ଼ିକ ପୁନଃ ଯଥାପୂର୍ବ ଜନ୍ମ ନେଉ—ଏମିତି କର, ହେ ମହେଶ୍ୱର।
Unspecified devotee/supplicant addressing Mahādeva (Śiva) within the narrative context of Sṛṣṭikhaṇḍa 14
Concept: Grace (prasāda) restores what has been lost; turning to the Lord with humility is the remedy when one’s capacities fail.
Application: When confidence, clarity, or strength collapses, replace panic with prayerful recalibration—ask for restoration of right function, not mere dominance.

Sandhi Resolution Notes: tvat+prasādāt→tvatprasādāt; prasādāt+punaḥ→prasādātpunaḥ (t/d sandhi).
The speaker asks Śiva (Maheśvara) to restore all lost “tejāṃsi” (splendors/powers) so that they arise again exactly as they were before.
Restoration is explicitly attributed to “tvatprasādāt” (by your grace), presenting renewal not as mere mechanics of time but as dependent on the Lord’s favor.
It models humility and reliance on the divine: when strength and brilliance fail, one turns to the Lord with a clear, focused prayer for rightful restoration rather than pride or despair.
