I don’t possess expertise of scriptures Manusmruti, Siksha, Kalpam,

Vyakaranam, nruktam, chandas, Jyotisham, medicine, Sakunam, arts of pleasing

others with poems and music, in explaining Puranas, proper use of Mantras,

praising, acting and humour. How will the kings be pleased with me? Oh lord

of all beings, all knowing, famous, all pervading, who am I ? Please protect

this ignorant being with your mercy.

 

*Commentary*

 

Is there a bhoga greater than that was enjoyed by the great Mahabali? Even

Mahaabali who held the saarvabhauma padhavi of the trilokas understood that

nothing would be achieved by these padhavis and realized that he had wasted

his life like a pasu. ‘pasyanthi ithi pasavaha’ – what is prathyaksham was

taken by me as sathyam and I was satisfied and had wasted my time. “Aham

prathyayavedhyam jeevathathvam kim?†What is the thathvam of that jeevathma

that is known by the sound ‘I’? O Sarvavyaapi, I surrender to you. You are

the One to do away with my ‘pasuthwam’. So please, please give me that

upadesam that will release me from the shackles.

Whosoever chants this sloka in Sivasannidhi and prostrates before Pasupathi

is sure to be released from his pasuthvam.
