na - not,

in

praise, per the kannada book}

mandabudhE: - with limited mental faculty

abjanEtra - oh, pundarIkAkSha!,

mama cha - only to me,

ayam + udyama: - this attempt,

uchita: - is appropriate.

 

tatparyam:

 

More than Bramha and others, it is I who has more

reasons to sing in praise of you. Unlike me, being

more capable, they are not fit to receive your

compassion. Since I am incapable due to my weakness

and feeling destitute in every way, I am fit to

receive your grace. Being dull headed, facing

difficulties in the act of singing praise is natural

for me. But is it not by your grace that I have

attained the state of wanting to sing in your praise?

Hey PundarIkAkSha! please shower me with that grace by

which this stOtra can be completed without

interuptions.
