Sanskrit

उपायं कथयिष्यामि तव विप्र श‍ृणुष्व तत् । अयं ह्यात्माभिचारस्ते यतस्तं याहि मा चिरम् । साधुषु प्रहितं तेज: प्रहर्तु: कुरुतेऽशिवम् ॥ ६९ ॥

Transliteration

upāyaṁ kathayiṣyāmi tava vipra śṛṇuṣva tat ayaṁ hy ātmābhicāras te yatas taṁ yāhi mā ciram sādhuṣu prahitaṁ tejaḥ prahartuḥ kurute ’śivam
Synonyms
upāyam — the means of protection in this dangerous position; kathayiṣyāmi — I shall speak to you; tava — of your deliverance from this danger; vipra — O brāhmaṇa; śṛṇuṣva — just hear from me; tat — what I say; ayam — this action taken by you; hi — indeed; ātma-abhicāraḥ — self-envy or envious of yourself (your mind has become your enemy); te — for you; yataḥ — because of whom; tam — to him (Mahārāja Ambarīṣa); yāhi — immediately go; mā ciram — do not wait even a moment; sādhuṣu — unto devotees; prahitam — applied; tejaḥ — power; prahartuḥ — of the executor; kurute — does; aśivam — inauspiciousness.

Translation

O brāhmaṇa, let Me now advise you for your own protection. Please hear from Me. By offending Mahārāja Ambarīṣa, you have acted with self-envy. Therefore you should go to him immediately, without a moment’s delay. One’s so-called prowess, when employed against the devotee, certainly harms he who employs it. Thus it is the subject, not the object, who is harmed.
