Na yavad umanath padaravindam

Chhand Text

न यावद् उमानाथ पादारविन्दं। भजंतीह लोके परे वा नराणां॥ न तावत्सुखं शान्ति सन्तापनाशं। प्रसीद प्रभो सर्वभूताधिवासं॥ ७ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

na yāvad umānātha pādāraviṃdaṃ। bhajaṃtīha loke pare vā narāṇāṃ॥ na tāvatsukhaṃ śāṃti saṃtāpanāśaṃ। prasīda prabho sarvabhūtādhivāsaṃ॥ 7 ॥

Meaning

Until human beings worship your lotus feet, O Lord of Uma, they find neither happiness nor peace, neither here nor beyond, nor does their suffering come to an end. Therefore, O Lord dwelling in all beings, be gracious.
