Uttrah Uvacha,
Pahi pahi mohayogin deva deva jagatpate
Na anyam twad abhayam pasye yatra mrityuh parasparam.


ENGLISH SYNONYMS

Uttara Uvacha-Uttara said, Pahi-protect, protect, Mohayogin-the greatest mystic, Deva Deva-the worshipable of the worshipped, Jagatpate-oh the Lord of the universe, Na-not, Anyam-anyone else, Abhayam-fearlessness, Pasye-do I see, Yatra-where there is, Mrityu-death, Parasparam-in the world of duality.


TRANSLATION

Oh the Lord of the lords, the lord of the universe You are the greatest of the mystics. Please protect me, protect me because there is no one else who can save one from the clutches of death in dual existence.


PURPORT

This matetial world is the word of duality as against the oneness of the Absolute realm. The world of duality is composed of matter and spirit whereas the the Absolute world is complete spirit without any tinge of material qualities. In the dual world everyone is falsely trying to become the master of the world whereas in the Absolute world the Lord is the Absolute Lord and all others are His absolute servitors. In the world of duality everyone is envious of all others and death is envitable due to dual existence of matter and spirit. And to get rid of the existence of duality the lord is the only shelter of fearlessness for the surrendered soul. Nobody can save himself from the cruel hands of death in the material world without having surrendered himself at the lotus feet of the Lord.
