त्वं माता सर्वलोकानां त्वमेव जगतः पिता । भयार्त्तानां सुहृन्मित्रं त्वं पिता त्वं पितामहः
tvaṃ mātā sarvalokānāṃ tvameva jagataḥ pitā | bhayārttānāṃ suhṛnmitraṃ tvaṃ pitā tvaṃ pitāmahaḥ
你是一切世界之母,你唯独是宇宙之父。对受恐惧所迫者,你是慈善的朋友与同盟;你是父亲——诚然,你是万有的太祖。
Viṣṇuśarmā (devotee, offering a hymn)
Tirtha: Ayodhyā-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Audience within Ayodhyā-māhātmya frame
Scene: A frightened pilgrim family at night near the Sarayū is comforted by a radiant vision of Rāma/Nārāyaṇa extending a protective hand; the deity’s aura is maternal and paternal, sheltering all beings.
The Lord is the universal parent and protector; remembrance of Him dispels fear and grants refuge.
Ayodhyā is the broader setting of the Ayodhyāmāhātmya section, framing this praise as part of its sacred narrative.
No specific rite is prescribed here; the verse functions as stotra (devotional praise) emphasizing surrender and trust.
