नमस्ते यमसंज्ञाय नमस्ते सौरये विभो । नमस्ते मन्दसंज्ञाय शनैश्चर नमोऽस्तु ते
namaste yamasaṃjñāya namaste sauraye vibho | namaste mandasaṃjñāya śanaiścara namo'stu te
Kính lễ Ngài, đấng được gọi là Yama; kính lễ Ngài, ô bậc uy lực, con của Sūrya. Kính lễ Ngài, đấng mang danh Manda; ô Śanaiścara, kính lễ Ngài.
Pippalāda (addressing Śanaiścara)
Scene: The hymn reaches doctrinal clarity: Śanaiścara is saluted as Yama-like karmic judge, as Saurī the solar son, and as Manda the slow-moving regulator of time—an icon of inevitability and order.
The verse teaches that one deity may bear many names reflecting functions—justice (Yama), solar lineage (Saurya), and slow karmic fruition (Manda)—inviting comprehensive surrender.
The verse is primarily a praise of Śanaiścara within a Tīrthamāhātmya narrative frame; no single tīrtha is named in this line.
It prescribes no act directly; it is a stotra-verse intended for recitation.
