VERSE 4

=======

 

kandarpa vairyapi yayaa savilaasa haasa

netraavalokana vashiikR^ita maanaso.abhuut.h |

taaM sarvadaa sakala mohana ruupa veshhaaM

mohaandhakaara haraNaaM bhaja miinanetraam.h || 4||

 

In a split form:

 

kandarpa vairi api yayaa savilaasa haasa

netra ava-lokana vashii kR^ita maanasaH bhuut.h |

taaM sarvadaa sakala mohana ruupa veshhaaM

moha andha kaara haraNaaM bhaja miina netraam.h || 4||

 

 

Worship shrii miinaaxii, whose looks with charming smile enchants even

the enemy of love, who subjects all to delusion through Her bewitching

forms and acts, and who (alone) can dispel the darkness of delusion.

 

kandarpa - manmatha, kaama (desire/love)

kandarpa vairi - enemy of kaama, that is lord shiva

The term dispeller of darkness of ignorance brings a beautiful verse

from shivaanandalaharii to mind, which clearly answers why we are still

unable to see HER, even though SHE is brilliant like crores of sun

(udhyadbhaanu sahasrakoTi sadR^ishhaam - miinaaxii pancharatnam,

baalarka koTyujjvala - miinaaxii stotram both by shankara).

 

eko vaarijabaandhavaH kshitinabho vyaaptaM tamomaNDalaM

bhitvaa lochanagocharo.api bhavati tvaM koTisuuryaprabhaH |

vedyaH kinna bhavasyaho ghanataraM kiidR^igbhavenmattama\-

statsarvaM vyapaniiya me pashupate saakshaat prasanno bhava || 58||

 

Here shankara wonders how dense must the darkness of ignorance that

envelops us. For one single sun is able to dispel the darkness of

entrire world and enable us to see, but Lord is radiant like crores of

suns, yet we are unable to see him. Unless out his grace he removes the

darkness and comes to us, how can we see?
