Verses from Saundaryalahari
.पवित्री कर्तुं नः पशुपति पराधीन हृदये
दयामित्रैर् नेत्रै ररु ण धवल श्याम रुचिभिः I
नदः शोणो गङ्गा तपन तनयेति ध्रुवममु ं
त्रयाणां तीर्थना मुपनयसि संभेदमनघं II
निमेषोन्मेषाभ्यां प्रलयमुदयं याति जगती
तवेत्याहुः सन्तो धरणिधरराजन्य तनये I
त्वदुन्मेषाज्जातं जगदिदं अशेषं प्रलयतः
परित्रातुं शङ्के परिहृत निमेषा स्तव दृशः II
दृशा द्राघीयस्या दरदलित नीलोत्फ ल रुचा
दवी यांसं दीन ं स्नपय कृपया मामपि शिवे I
अनेनायं धन्यो भवति न च ते हानि रियता
वने वा हर्म्ये वा समकर निपातो हिमकरः II
pavitrikartum nah pashupati pradhinahrdaye
dayamitrairnetrairarunadhavalashyamarucibhih
nadah shono ganga tapanatanayeti dhruvamamum
trayanam tirthanamupanayasi sambhedamanagham.
nimeshonmeshabhyam pralayamudayam yati jagati
tavetyahuh santo dharanirajanyatanaye
tvadunmeshajjatam jagadidam ashesham pralayatah
paritratum shanke parihrtanimeshastava drshah
drsha draghiyasya daradalita nilotphaladrsha
daviyansam dinam snapaya krpaya mamapi shive
anenayam dhanyo bhavati na ca te haniriyata
vane va harmye va samakara nipato himakarah.
meaning-
O Mother who art ever devoted to Shiva! It seems certain that with Thy kindly eyes having the three colors of red, white and black, thou presentest to us the confluence of the holy rivers of Shona, Ganges and Yamuna to sanctify ourselves ( by getting immersed in them ).
Note - The confluence of the white waters of Ganges and the blue waters of Yamuna at Prayaga ( Allahabad ) is a well known sacred place.But the red colors of Shona river does not join the main stream, but much further awawy down-stream. The devotee poet takes Nature as a unified whole in the Goddess, and in that sense speaks of the three streams as uniting in her eyebrow with their three colors.
O Daughter of the king of mountains ! Great men say that the closing and opening of Thy eye-lids mark the dissolution and creation of the universe. Therefore it must be to prevent this universe, that has sprung at the opening of Thy eyes. from going into dissolution that Thou does not wink but keep Thy eyes always open.
O Consort of Shiva ! Grace my miserable self too, in spite of my being removed from Thee , with the long-ranging and compassionate look of Thy eyes, which defeat the blooming blue water lily in beauty. By this my humble self shall feel blessed, while to Thee it involves no loss. The rays of the moon fall alike, indeed, on a mansion and a wilderness.
