Verse 20

Tap any word for its meaning.

। नु ॥

In plain words

Granted that vairāgya is your wealth: how can you give up compassion? Granted that striving is a fault in you: is meditation on your Father's feet of that kind? Granted that desire is blamed in you: is the protection of those who bow to you blamed too? O Skanda, man in disguise, can it be that you are waiting for some time to come?

Word for word

Let vairāgya be your wealth; how can you give up compassion? Let striving be a fault in you; but is meditation on the Father's feet of that kind? Let desire be blamed in you; but is the protection of those who bow blamed? O Skanda, man in disguise, can it be that you are waiting for some time?
