Long live Brhama . May his other four heads deserve your protection because

he is the one who wrote my fate of poverty in this earth. Oh Lord who is

clear as crystal and embodiment of all good things, you protect me as you

protect all the poor ,by your graceful glance.

Hey! Nirmalaswaroopa! I am not worried about the writing of my fate by

Brahma. So please do not pinch away his other four heads just because he has

destined me, your devotee, to be poor. Let him live his complete life. After

all he wrote my fate only because of my own past karma and not out of his

fancy. Also because he wrote off my life to be poor that I am able to be

humble and have your name in my lips all the time. You, who are hard to

reach even for Brahma and Hari, are but close to me in my heart. This is

because Brahma has made me a ‘dheenan’. I thank him for this and I pray for

his long life!

 

Aachaaryaal expresses the same sentiment in the following verse in

Soundaryalahari to describe the fear of Brahma towards Maheswara that He

might nip off his other four heads. So Brahma surrenders to the Mother to

save himself.

 

“MruNaalee mrudhvinaam thava bhujalathaanaam chathasruNaam

chathurbhi: soundarya sarasijabhava: sthouthi vadhanai: |

nakhaibhya: santhrasyan prathama madhanaadhandhakaripO:

Therefore, O! PrabhO! I have the strong belief that because of your

kataaksham (English is a very poor language to express this and many other

words!) I would get over kaama, krOdha, lObha, mOha, madha, maathsaryam and

other greater base desires and become a vimukthaa who would be engaged in

constant dhyaanam of you. Your kataaksham is so cool that it wards off the

three worst thaapa called adhyaathmikam, athideivikam, and athiboudhikam. I

therefore really have nothing to worry.

 

SambO! Mahaadeva!
