O Lord of the gods, once more I beg you. Let my devotion to you stand firm. He asks for this even again — it is a request he keeps making. The one thing he wants is that his love for the Lord hold fast and never slip.
हे देवेश, मैं फिर से भी यही याचना करता हूँ — तुझमें मेरी भक्ति दृढ़ हो जाए।
bhūyaḥ api ('even again'): the api marks that this is a repeated plea, not a first-time wish — the speaker returns to the same prayer he has voiced before.
'भूयः अपि' ('फिर भी, पुनः') — यहाँ 'अपि' यह दर्शाता है कि यह याचना पहली बार की गई कोई नई कामना नहीं, बल्कि पुनः दोहराई गई प्रार्थना है; वक्ता उसी प्रार्थना पर लौट आता है जिसे वह पहले भी कह चुका है।
L2invocation
yā mokṣānta-caturvarga phaladā sukhadā latā ||
yāwhich — pointing back to that devotion he just asked for fem. relative pronoun, agreeing with bhaktiḥ / latāजो (वह भक्ति, जो लता है)
mokṣānta-caturvarga-phaladābecause it hands over, as its very fruit, the four aims of life that top out in liberation bahuvrīhi describing the creeper: 'having as fruit-giver the four-fold set ending in mokṣa'मोक्ष जिसका अन्त है, ऐसे चारों वर्ग (धर्म, अर्थ, काम, मोक्ष) रूपी फल देनेवाली
sukhadāand because it gives happiness bahuvrīhi: 'happiness-giving'सुख देनेवाली
latāis a creeping vine — a climbing plant that bears fruit nominative, in apposition to bhaktiḥलता (जिसके साथ भक्ति की समानता है)
yā latā — which is a creeper; mokṣānta-caturvarga-phaladā — that yields as its fruit the four aims ending in liberation; sukhadā — and gives happiness.
yā — जो; latā — लता; mokṣānta-caturvarga-phaladā — मोक्ष-पर्यन्त चारों वर्ग रूपी फल देनेवाली; sukhadā — सुख देनेवाली।
That devotion is like a creeping vine. Its fruit is the whole four-fold set of life's aims — right conduct, wealth, desire, and, at the top, liberation. And it gives happiness too. So he pictures devotion as a plant that bears every good thing a person could seek, liberation included, and joy on top of that.
यह भक्ति वह लता है, जो मोक्ष-पर्यन्त चारों पुरुषार्थ रूपी फल देती है, और सुख भी देती है।
catur-varga / mokṣa: in dharmaśāstra the four legitimate ends of human life (puruṣārtha) — dharma (right conduct), artha (worldly gain), kāma (desire), and mokṣa (liberation) as their crown. Here the whole set is named as the fruit of the devotion-creeper — everything a person might pray for is folded into it.
'चतुर्वर्ग' / 'मोक्ष' — धर्मशास्त्र में मनुष्य-जीवन के चार वैध पुरुषार्थ: धर्म (सदाचार), अर्थ (लौकिक लाभ), काम (कामना), और इनके शिखर रूप में मोक्ष (मुक्ति)। यहाँ इस सम्पूर्ण चतुष्टय को भक्ति-रूपी लता का फल कहा गया है — मनुष्य जो कुछ भी माँग सकता है, वह सब इसी एक में समा जाता है।
