तवाग्निरास्यं वसुधांघ्रियुग्मं नभः शिरश्चंद्ररवी च नेत्रे ४२.
Your mouth is fire, your two feet are the earth, your head is the sky, and the moon and sun are your eyes.
जन्मानि तावंति न संति देव निष्पीड्य सर्वाणि च सर्वकालम् ४२.
O God, there are not as many births as there are, even if all are compressed together for all time.
संपच्छिलानां हिमवन्महेंद्रकैलासमेर्वादिषु नैव तादृक् ४२.
Among the multitude of mountains—Himavat, Mahendra, Kailāsa, Meru, and others—there is none like that.
न संतिते देव भुवि प्रदेशा न येषु जातोऽस्मि तथा विनष्टः ४२.
O God, there are no places on earth where I have not been born and perished likewise.
शोकाभिभूतस्य ममाश्रु देव यावत्प्रमाणं पतितं भवेषु ४२.
O God, as much as my tears have fallen in the worlds, overwhelmed by grief, that is their measure.
मन्ये धरित्रीपरमाणुसंख्यामुपैति पित्रोर्गणना न मह्यम् ४२.
I think the number of atoms on earth may be reached, but the count of my parents is not for me.
त्वय्यर्पितं नाथ पुनः पुनर्मे मनः समाक्षिप्य सुदुर्द्धरारि ४२.
O Lord, though my mind is repeatedly offered to you, it is again and again seized by the most difficult-to-overcome enemy.
सोऽहं भृशार्तः करुणाकरस्त्वं संसारगर्ते पतितस्य विष्णो ४२.
Thus I, greatly afflicted, and you, O ocean of compassion, O Viṣṇu, for one fallen into the pit of worldly existence.
परायणं रोगवतो हि वैद्यो महाब्धिमग्नस्य च नौर्नरस्य ४२.
You are the refuge, the physician for one afflicted by disease, the boat for a man sunk in the great ocean.
प्रसीद सर्वेश्वर सर्वभूत सर्वस्य हेतो परमार्थसार ४२.
Be gracious, O Lord of all, O soul of all beings, cause of all, essence of the highest truth.
क्षृत्तृट्त्रिधातुभिरिमं मुहुरर्द्यमानं शीतोष्ण वातसलिलैरितरेतराच्च ४२.
This body, repeatedly afflicted by hunger, thirst, and the three humors, by cold, heat, wind, and water, and by each other—
भवंतु भद्राणि समस्तदोषाः प्रयांतु नाशं जगतोऽखिलस्य ४२.
May there be auspiciousness; may all faults depart into destruction from the entire world.
ये भूतले ये दिवि चांतरिक्षे रसातले प्राणिगणाश्च केचित् ४२.
Whatever beings exist on earth, in heaven, in the atmosphere, or in the netherworlds—whatever groups of living creatures there are—
अज्ञानिनो ज्ञानविदो भवंतु प्रशान्तिभाजः सततोग्रचित्ताः ४२.
Whether ignorant or wise, may they all become peaceful, ever possessing tranquil minds.
श्रृण्वंति ये मे स्तुवतस्तथान्ये पश्यंति ये मामिदमीरयंतम् ४२.
Those who hear me as I praise, and others as well; those who see me uttering these words—
ये चापि मूका विकलेंद्रियत्वात्पठंति नो नैव विलोकयंति ४२.
And even those who are mute or have impaired senses, who do not recite or see—
नश्यंतु दुःखानि जगत्यपेतु लोभादिको दोषगणः प्रजाभ्यः ४२.
May suffering perish from the world, and may the multitude of faults such as greed depart from all beings.
संसारवैद्यैऽखिलदोषहानिविचक्षणे निर्वृतिहेतुभूते ४२.
By the physician of existence, skilled in removing all faults and the cause of liberation—
पापं प्रणाशं मम च प्रयातु यन्मानसं यच्च करोमि वाचा ४२.
May all sin be destroyed—whatever arises in my mind or whatever I do by speech.
यथा हि वा वासुदेवेति प्रोक्ते संकीर्त्तने विष्णुभक्तस्य वापि ४२.
Just as when the name 'Vāsudeva' is spoken, or when the devotee of Viṣṇu chants—
मूढोऽयमल्पमतिरल्पविचेष्टितोऽयं क्लिष्टं मनोऽपि विषयैर्मयि न प्रसंगि ४२.
This one is deluded, of little understanding, acting feebly; even though the mind is troubled by sense-objects, it does not become attached to me.
स त्वं प्रसीद भगवन्कुरु मय्यनाथे विष्णो कृपां परमकारुणिकः किल त्वम् ४२.
Therefore, be gracious, O Lord; show me, who am without refuge, your compassion, O Viṣṇu, for you are indeed supremely merciful.
इत्थं स्तुतः स भगवानैतरेयेण भारत ४२.
Thus was the Lord praised by Aitareya, O Bhārata.
वत्सैतरेय तुष्टोस्मि भक्त्यानेन स्तवेन ते ४२.
O Aitareya, I am pleased by your devotion and this hymn of yours.
एष एव वरो नाथमम नित्यमभीप्सितः ४२.
This alone is the boon always desired by my devotee.
मुक्त एवासि संसाराद्यस्य ते भक्तिरीदृशी ४२.
You are indeed liberated from worldly existence, for your devotion is of this kind.
यश्च स्तोत्रेण सततं गुप्तक्षेत्रसमीहितम् ४२.
And whoever, with this hymn, always seeks the well-being of the protected field—
यस्मादेतेन स्तोत्रेण पापं नाशमवाप्स्यति ४२.
By this very hymn, he will attain the destruction of sin.
एकादश्यामुपोष्यैव ममाग्रे यः पठिष्यति ४२.
Whoever, having fasted on the eleventh day, recites this before me—
सर्वेषामेव क्षेत्राणां गुप्तक्षेत्रं प्रियं यथा ४२.
For all fields, the protected field is most dear, just as—
