Devanagari script

Transliteration

na te'parāddhaṃ yadi te'parāddhamasmābhirunmārgavivartinībhiḥ | tatkṣamyatāṃ sṛṣṭikṛtastavaiva devāparādhaḥ sṛjato vivekam

Translation

నిన్ను నిజంగా అపరాధం తాకదు; అయినా మేము దుర్మార్గంలో తిరిగినవారమై నీపై అపరాధం చేసినట్లయితే దయచేసి క్షమించు. హే సృష్టికర్తా! ఈ ‘దేవాపరాధం’ కూడా నీవు సృష్టిలో ప్రసాదించే వివేకంతోనే సంబంధించింది.

FAQs

Atonement is paired with responsibility: the devotee admits wrongdoing, seeks pardon, and prays for right discernment (viveka).

The Revā/Narmadā tīrtha milieu underlies the prayer, where purification and moral correction are central themes.

No specific rite is prescribed; the focus is inner correction—confession, forgiveness-seeking, and cultivation of viveka.
