O son of a brāhmaṇa, today the fire of sacrifice is ablaze according to the injunction of the śāstra, and I have been freed from all the sinful reactions of my life by the water that has washed Your lotus feet. O my Lord, by the touch of Your small lotus feet the entire surface of the world has been sanctified.

Translation
O son of a brāhmaṇa! Today the fire of sacrifice has been worshipped according to the rules, and I have been freed from all the sinful reactions of my life by your foot water. By the marks of your small lotus feet the entire surface of the world has been sanctified.
I have been purified by the water from your feet. The earth has been purified by the auspicious marks (padaiḥ) on your small feet. [Note: The word padaiḥ cannot refer to his feet, because the word is in the plural, not the dual.]
Personal Guidance
Today the fire is ablaze according to śāstra, and I am freed from all sinful reactions by the foot-water; the world is sanctified by Your small feet. Bali sees the full effect. Even small feet purify whole worlds.
Reflection Questions
- Where do I undercount the power of 'small feet' arriving in my life?
- What sin-reaction am I imagining is hard to remove, when one foot-touch could do it?
