Guest guest Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Nisarga-ksInasya stna-tata-bharena klama-juso naman-mUrter nArI-tilaka sanakais trutyata iva; ciram te madhyasyu trutita-tatini-tira tatunA samAvasthA-sthemno bhavatu kusalam saila-tanaye O Daughter of the Mountain! may safety be vouchsafed to Thy waist, which is by nature slim, which is in form as if about to give way in the region of the navel and the folds, and whose firmness is akin to that of a tree standing on the fragile bank of a river. Fragile bank- like to give way to any moment, carrying the tree thereon along with it. The condition of the Devi's waist is similarly precarious, as it might apparently give way [owing to the weight of the two breasts above' at its weak spots, namely the navel and the folds. The optative form is significant as the votary finds no one directly to appeal to.
