stotraratna contd. 25 to 28.

[Guest guest]

Respected members,

 

The Slokhas 25 thro' 28 of yaamunaacharyas stotraratna is as

follows:-

 

slokha 25 :-

 

Abhuta-purvam mama bhaavi kim vaa

sarvam sahe me sahajam hi duhkham;

kimtu tvad agre saran'aagataanam

paraabhavo naatha! na te'anurupah.

 

What(misery) can possibly happen to me that has not

already befallen? I have been bearing everything; for

misery and i have been born together. But, O Master! it

is not becoming of you that one who has taken shelter at

your feet should get frustrated in his attempt to overcome

the miseries of transmigratory existence.

 

slokha 26 :-

 

Niraasakasy'aapi na taavad utsahe

mahesa! haatum tava paada pankajam;

rusaa nirasto'api sisuh stanandhayo

na jaatu maatus caranau jihaasati.

 

O Supreme Being! even if you drive me away, I cannot

relinquish your lotus-feet; a suckling does not at all desire

to leave its mother's feet at any time, even if it has been set

aside by her in anger.

 

slokha 27 :-

 

Tav'aamrta-syandini paada-pankaje

nivesit aatmaa katham anyad icchati;

sthite'aravinde makaranda nirbhare

madhu-vrato n'eksurakam hi viksate.

 

How can my mind, which is firmly set upon your lotus-feet

shedding nectar, ever be desirous of anything else? As is

well-known, when there exists a lotus laden with honey nearby,

a bee does not even glance at the Ikshuraka flower( a thorny

flower without fragnance or honey).

 

slokha 28 :-

 

Tvad anghrim uddisya kad'aapi kena cid

yathaa tathaa v'aapi sakrt krto'anjalih;

tad'aiva musnaaty asubhaany asesatah

subhaani pusnaati na jaatu hiyate.

 

Whosoever, in whatever manner, at whatever time, supplicates to

you with palms joined even once, that act dispels at once all his

miseries and contributes to his well-being. An act of supplication

to you is never in vain.
