। ॥ ३८ ॥
In plain words
May Nārada’s soft, exquisitely graceful song fill our ears like an ornament. Its notes arrive at their true pitches with lucid precision; the lovely vīṇā marks the unfolding tāla, its rhythmic measure; Śiva and Śivā savor it like nectar; many rāgas, melodic modes, lend it beauty; and hymns sweet with the nine rasas—the full range of aesthetic flavor—run through it.
Close to the Sanskrit
May the soft and exquisitely graceful song of the Vīṇā Sage—manifesting an extraordinary clarity as its notes reach their proper pitches; with the sequence of tāla, rhythmic measure, delimited by the sound of the lovely vīṇā; savored like nectar by Śiva and Śivā; deeply pleasing through many rāgas, melodic modes; threaded with hymns sweet with the nine rasas, aesthetic flavors—become our ear-ornament.
