Slokam 10:
nAvEkshasE yadi tato bhuvanAnyamooni
nAlam praBhO bhavitumEva kuta: pravritti:
Evam nisargasuhrudi tvayi sarvajantO:
swaminna chitram idam Ashrita vatsalatvam ||
praBhO - oh protector of the worlds!,
amooni bhuvanAni - these worlds (sentient and non-
sentient)
na avEkshasE yadi - if you had not showered your
grace{katAksha};if you had not cast
your graceful looks (as described
in bramha sutras by "E kshatE rnA
shabdam" and "gouNa
shchEnnAtmashabdAt" , "sankalpa" in
the form of grace is meant here.)
tatha: - during the time of praLaya {at that time,
without Your grace}
bhavitum Eva - manifestation,
na alam - not possible
kuta: pravritti - (without your grace) where is the
future for these incapable worlds?;
{even when they would not been
been present without your Grace,
what is there to say about the
happenings in them?}
sarvajanthO: - all living beings,
hE swamin - oh, Protector!,
Evam - in this way,
nisarga suhrudi - natural well wisher,
tvayi - in you,
idam - this ,
Ashrita vatsalatvam - the attribute of great affection
towards those who consider You
as their refuge; {just like a
cow is affectionate towards its
newborn calf - even the dirt it
likes of it}
na chitram - is not surprising {is not special etc.}
tAtparyam:
Oh. Protector of the universe!, without your grace
nothing in this world could have manifested. For You,
who by nature, is a well wisher to every living being,
love and affection towards those who are
Your devotees (And hence, protection to them) is a
very natural attribute.
