। ॥ १४ ॥
In plain words
O Lord of beings, you are truly the ultimate friend of the helpless, and I am the foremost among them—so what need is there to question our bond? Forgive all my transgressions, O Shiva, and protect me earnestly, for that is the natural path of true friends.
Close to the Sanskrit
You are indeed the supreme kinsman of the helpless, O Lord of beings, and I am the foremost among them; what need is there to speak of the kinship between us? All my offenses, O Shiva, must be forgiven by you alone; my rescue must be undertaken with care, for this is the proper path of kinsmen.
