O Absolute Lord, I am not afraid of Thy terrific form with formidable mouth, tongue, eyes shining like the sun, fierce brows, fearful tusks, with a garland of intestines, mane drenched in blood, with ears erect like sticks, the roar that threatens the protectors of the world, with claws capable of tearing off the hearts of enemies. trasto.asmyaham krpanavatsala duhsahograsamsàracakrakadanàdgrasatàm pranitah 6.But I am afraid,O friend of the distressed, of the terrible wheel of Samsara, in the midst of which I am placed bound by my own Karma. O most adorable Lord, when wilt Thou be gracious enough to call me to Thy presence, the abode of immortality? |
