तथापि भक्त्याश्रयतामुपेयुस्तवांघ्रिपद्मं प्रणतार्तिभंजनम् । सुघोरसंसारदवाग्निपीडितो भजामि नित्यं भवभीतिशांतये
tathāpi bhaktyāśrayatāmupeyustavāṃghripadmaṃ praṇatārtibhaṃjanam | sughorasaṃsāradavāgnipīḍito bhajāmi nityaṃ bhavabhītiśāṃtaye
然而,归依于奉爱者得至你莲华之足,能摧破俯伏者之苦。为可怖的轮回(saṃsāra)野火所灼,我恒常礼拜你,只为息灭对世有之怖畏。
Rājā (the King)
Scene: A devotee kneels before Śiva’s lotus-feet; behind, a forest wildfire symbolizes saṃsāra; a cool stream of grace descends, extinguishing flames around the devotee.
Devotional refuge at Śiva’s feet is presented as the sure remedy for the burning anxiety and fear produced by saṃsāra.
No specific place is named; the verse universalizes the refuge-teaching rather than tying it to a geography.
Continuous worship (nitya-bhajana) and surrender (śaraṇāgati) to the Lord’s lotus-feet are implied.
