噢太初之神！你非造作之物，亦非仅闻名之事；然而《夜柔吠陀》仍如是称说于你。言语之四种形态只能遥遥触及；我却因自身所求而大胆赞颂你——愿你慈悲宽恕。

FAQs

Even when words cannot fully reach the divine, humility and sincere devotion—grounded in Vedic reverence—are accepted.

No tīrtha is named in this verse; it is a theological confession within the hymn to Āditya.

No external rite is prescribed; it models an inner rite of vinaya (repentant humility) during stotra.
