बाल्ययौवनवार्धक्यमहाभीमांधकूपके । क्रोधेर्ष्या लोभवह्नौ च विषयक्रूरपर्वते
bālyayauvanavārdhakyamahābhīmāṃdhakūpake | krodherṣyā lobhavahnau ca viṣayakrūraparvate
بچپن، جوانی اور بڑھاپے کے نہایت ہولناک اندھے کنویں میں؛ غضب، حسد اور لالچ کی آگ میں؛ اور حواس کے سفاک پہاڑ پر—(میں پھنسا ہوا ہوں)۔
Vibhīṣaṇa (contextual continuation)
Tirtha: Rāmeśvara/Setu-kṣetra (implied)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Śambhu (implied)
Scene: A deep, dark well labeled by the three life-stages; flames rise as anger, jealousy, and greed; a jagged mountain of glittering sense-objects looms, while a clear luminous road points toward a coastal Śiva shrine.
Human life-stages and passions can become bondage; liberation requires turning from viṣayas and seeking divine refuge.
The prayer belongs to the Setu–Rāmeśvara context, where Śiva as Rāmeśvara grants relief from worldly bondage.
None directly; the verse deepens dispassion (vairāgya) and prepares for worshipful surrender.
