സ തയാ ശ്രദ്ധയാ യുക്തസ്തസ്യാരാധനമീഹതേ ലഭതേ ച തതഃ കാമാന്മയൈവ വിഹിതാന് ഹി താന്
sa tayā śraddhayā yuktastasyārādhanamīhate labhate ca tataḥ kāmānmayaivavihitānhi tān
Malayalam Translation
അവന് ആ ശ്രദ്ധയോടെ ആ ദേവന്റെ ആരാധന നടത്തുന്നു. അതില്നിന്നു ഞാന് തന്നെ നല്കുന്ന അതാതു കാമങ്ങള് ആര്ജിക്കുകയും ചെയ്യുന്നു.
Explanation · English
The last two words Hi and Tan are taken as one word? Hitan meaning benefits. This is another interpretation. The devotee who worships the lesser gods attains the objects of his desire (minor psychic powers? etc.). Those objects are ordained by the Lord only as He alone knows exactly the relation between the actions and their results or rewards and as He is the Inner Ruler of all beings. Unwise or undiscriminating people only take recourse to the means of getting these finite rewards which can hardly give entire satisfaction. Pitiable indeed is their lot They have,no power of eniry (VicharaSakti) or right understanding. They get hold of pieces of glass instead of attaining the jewel of the Self? of incalculabe value.
