Again we get shishirita-bhuvana - by which the worlds are cooled.

This time it refers to shabda-brahma-amR^taiH -- drops of the nectar

of Brahman

in the form of Sound itself.

 

Your two hands (baahu-dvandva) are adorned with bracelets

(valaya-bhR^taa) shining with gems (ratnojjvala). The flute

(veNu-naalii)

is held (upaatta) in your palm (paaNi) which is red (shoNa)

like (coral) . The finger nails (nakha) spread (prasR^ta)

multicoloured

rays (mayuukhaH). So the flute which is in contact with your fingers

(angulii-sanga) also looks multicoloured (shaaraa) [reflecting the

coloured

rays from the nails].

 

Placing (kR^tvaa) the flute on your lotus-like mouth

(vaktra-aravinda)

you produce very sweet melodies (sumadhura-vikasat-raagam). It is

like the flow (udbhaavyamaana) of the nectar of Shabda-Brahman

(shabda-brahma-amR^ta) which brings solace to tormented souls

(shishirita bhuvana).

I beg of you, O lord, please drench (sinca) my ears (karNa-viithiim)

with that nectar.
