कल्मषापहर-कीर्तनम् / Kīrtana for the Removal of Impurity
अल्पप्रज्ञो विरूपाक्ष कथं भवति मानव: । एतन्मे संशयं छिन्धि सर्वधर्मविदां वर,विरूपाक्ष! मनुष्य मन्दबुद्धि कैसे होता है? सम्पूर्ण धर्मज्ञोंमें श्रेष्ठ महादेव! आप मेरे इस संदेहका निवारण कीजिये
alpaprajño virūpākṣa kathaṁ bhavati mānavaḥ | etan me saṁśayaṁ chindhi sarvadharmavidāṁ vara ||
“Hỡi Virūpākṣa, do đâu mà con người trở nên kẻ ít hiểu biết? Hỡi bậc tối thượng trong những người thông đạt dharma, xin chém đứt mối nghi của con và làm cho sáng tỏ.”
श्रीमहेश्वर उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse frames ignorance as a moral-spiritual problem worth investigating: one should ask a true knower of dharma to remove doubt, because clarity of understanding is essential for right conduct.
A questioner addresses Śiva (Virūpākṣa), acknowledging him as the foremost knower of dharma, and asks him to explain the causes by which a human becomes ‘alpaprajña’ (of little discernment), requesting a direct resolution of doubt.
