Oh! Pasupati, What to Say about your courage? Oh Sambu who will have your

courage of this nature? Who can attain the state of mind like yours? Groups

of other Gods loose their balance, the Sages tremble in fear seeing the

destruction of the world and the Prlaya (total destruction of Universe).

Alone, Only you are fearless and are in state of Ananda (Ecstacy) doing your

Leela.

 

*Commentary

 

*Aum

 

At the time of MahapraLaya all devas from Brahma onwards fall from their

respective positions and meet with their destruction. Even gnanis who have

the knowledge of the kaalathrayam are fearful of MahapraLaya.

 

Hey! Parameswara! You remain a calm witness to this terrible MahapraLaya

that brings destruction to the entire universe. In fact when all has been

lost into nothing in this mahapraLaya you remain a fearless Ekan and enjoy

the bliss of solititude!

 

Hey! Sarveswara! How would I describe this great feat of courage of yours in

the face of immense destruction. This seems to be a play for you and the

sruthis proclaim this as follows:

 

“YathO vaa imaani bhoothaani jaayanthE Ena jaathaani jeevanthi |

yath prayathyamisavishanthi ||â€

 

Everything has its origin in you. You are the protector of everything and in

the end everything is absorbed in you. Looking at this dheera saahasam of

yours the only conclusion that I come to is that you are the permanent One!

Hey! PrabhO! You cannot be said to be non-existent in the past neither would

you be non-existent in the future. Who can deny you exist in the present?

 

Virinci: panchatvam vrajati hariraapnothi virathim

Vithandhri maahEndhri vithathirapi sammeeLitha-drsaa

Mahaa-samhaarEsmin viharati sathi tvath-patirasau || (Soundaryalahari 26)

 

Brahma is reduced to elements; Hari retires into passivity; Yama himself

dies; Kubera meets with his end and Indra and his followers close their eyes

in destruction. When such, O! Chaste consort of Siva! is the state of all

beings at the time of Mahasamhaara of the universe, thy husband Sadasiva

along is sporting!
