Meaning:
Why the denial of your grace to me? O Lord! I have no one else to look up to. O Moonfaced one. Benefactor of the solar race. Redeemer, One with a body radiating fragrance! The atmosphere around me is far from being congenial! The distress I am in distracts my worship of you. Were you not delighted with the service of the tiny squirrel? (which contributed tiny clods of earth to the mighty bridge to Lanka?) You are known to be free from bias and to treat friends and foes alike. Is not this because, all the world is in you and you are in the world everywhere.
