I offer respects to Rudra, who will make me weep but who removes of sorrow, who is a great lord, but fierce, who is compassionate, auspicious, and avoids punishing the sinful, but who is capable of punishing when full of anger. She gives proof for her repentance. He will make me weep, but he will also remove my sorrow (two meanings of rudra). Since he is a great lord (mahate devāya) he will forgive my offense. But since he is fierce (ugrāya), he will destroy my child. Yet he is liberal (mīḍhuṣe), so he will sprinkle the creeper of my desire with mercy, since he is auspicious, devoid of giving punishment. But still he will punish me (dhṛta-daṇḍāya) since he is the personification of anger (manyave).
