Govindābhiṣeka
मयेदं भगवन् गोष्ठनाशायासारवायुभि: । चेष्टितं विहते यज्ञे मानिना तीव्रमन्युना ॥ १२ ॥
mayedaṁ bhagavan goṣṭha- nāśāyāsāra-vāyubhiḥ ceṣṭitaṁ vihate yajñe māninā tīvra-manyunā
O Panginoon, nang masira ang aking handog na yajña, dahil sa huwad na pagmamataas ay nag-alab ang aking matinding galit; kaya sinikap kong lipulin ang pamayanang pastol ng baka ng Inyo sa pamamagitan ng malakas na ulan at hangin.
