अशोचं बहुधा चित्ते गृह्णीयात्स कथं स्त्रियम् ॥ निर्विकारी जितात्मा स शंकरो योगतत्परः॥६॥
How will Śiva who is free from depravity, who has conquered himself and who is devoted to Yogic practices take up a wife unto himself? Thinking thus I bewailed a lot.
english translation
इत्थं विचार्य बहुधा तदाहं विमदो मुने ॥ हरिं तं सोऽस्मरं भक्त्या शिवात्मानं स्वदेहदम् ॥७॥
Anxiously thinking all this about, O sage, I became free from haughtiness. I remembered Viṣṇu who is identical with Śiva and who is the cause of my origin.
english translation
अस्तवं च शुभस्तोत्रैर्दीनवाक्यसमन्वितैः॥ तच्छ्रुत्वा भगवानाशु बभूवाविर्हि मे पुरा॥८॥
I eulogised Him with auspicious hymns supplemented by statements of my miserable predicament on hearing which the lord appeared before me immediately.
english translation
चतुर्भुजोरविंदाक्षः शंरववार्ज गदाधरः॥ लसत्पीत पटश्श्यामतनुर्भक्तप्रियो हरिः ॥ ९ ॥
The lord Viṣṇu with four arms, lotus-like eyes, holding conch, lotus and mace in his hands and wearing the refulgent yellow robe, dark-complexioned and the beloved of the devotees.
english translation
तं दृष्ट्वा तादृशमहं सुशरण्यं मुहुर्मुहुः ॥ अस्तवं च पुनः प्रेम्णा बाष्पगद्गदया गिरा ॥2-2-10-१०॥
On seeing him in that form I eulogised him again with devotion and words choked with tears. I considered him as my sole refuge.
