What a pity that when I had the chance, I did not bathe your symbol

(Siva-Linga) with honey, curd, ghee, milk and sugar (all these are

mixed together become the `five nectars' or panchamrita). I did not

adorn Your form with perfumed sandalwood. I did not worship You with

flowers of Datura; I did not offer You incense; I did not show You

the sacred lamp; alas, I did not burn camphor at Your feet.

 

Never did I get a chance to offer You fruits and eatables on golden

plates. O Jagadeesvara, may such a tragedy of repeated omissions

never come to me in the future.

 

If my omissions were prompted by my past sins, forgive them all, O

Lord. Dear Auspicious One, Sambhu, whatever faults I may have

committed in the past, both through commission and omissions,

Forgive them all, O All-Merciful One.

 

Forgive me. Forgive me. I depend entirely upon Your mercy and Grace.

 

Continuing to sincerely regret the omissions that he made, the

seeker again falls prostrate, asking forgiveness of his beloved Lord.

 

 

To be continued…
