Oh Bhutanaatha, you are wandering around the mountain ranges of Shabari and the terrain too tough and difficult to live. See, our inner selves and minds are very soft and tender in comparison to those tough mountain terrain.

nānveti candramaṇḍalamāhurjjagati candrabiṁbamiti|
hariharasutavadanendau biṁboṣṭhayute hi candrabiṁbatvam||83
In practive noe one actually calls the bright orb of the moon as the brilliant lunar orb. Only the attractive face of the sone of Hari and Hara which shines like the moon with full red lips is at present termed as the disc of moon in all its beauty and splendour..
सन्ध्यांबुदबन्धूकस्तबकजनेर्वन्द्यता कृता येन।
हन्त हरिगिरीशसूनोरन्तर्मम सोऽधरोस्तु सन्तुष्ट्यै॥८४
sandhyāṁbudabandhūkastabakajanervandyatā kṛtā yena|
hanta harigirīśasūnorantarmama so'dharostu santuṣṭyai||84
May that full red lip of the son of Hari and Gireesha be with me for my extreme happiness. That lip has defeated the beauty of the red shining cloud appearing in the dust and the beauty of the Bandhooka flower (Indian Laurel flower) too and the cloud and the flower are actually offering worship to the comely lips of the lord .
स्वपतिविरहाक्षमेयं नक्षत्रावलिरिवास्य चन्द्रमसः।
अन्तर्गतकृतवसतिर्दन्तावलिः शास्तुरन्तरस्तु नः॥८५
svapativirahākṣameyaṁ nakṣatrāvalirivāsya candramasaḥ|
antargatakṛtavasatirdantāvaliḥ śasturanarastu naḥ||85
May those evenly formed row of teeth of the Lord Shasta may ever be in my meditative memory. The row of teeth have hidden inside the mouth of Sasta like the group of stars in the sky which have gone on a hiding because they are sad about being separated from their consort, the moon during daytime
परिलसतु वदनपङ्कजसङ्गिलसत्कलिकाकृतिरुदारः।
उद्यङ्गरुचिरकोणश्चित्ते मम शास्तुरुत्तमो घोणः॥८६
parilasatu vadanapaṅkajasaṅgilasatkalikākṛtirudāraḥ|
udyaṅgarucirakoṇascitte mama śāsturuttamo ghoṇaḥ||86
May that beautifully shaped nose of Shasta shine in my medit…
शास्तुर्गण्डयुगस्यानन्तर्याद् बिंबितात्मतनुदृष्ट्या।
पार्श्वगतदारयुगळेनान्यवधूगतमशङ्कि तत् पत्यौ॥९१
śāsturgaṇḍayugasyānantaryād biṁbitātmatanudṛṣṭyā|
pārśvagatadārayugaḻenānyavadhūgatamaśaṅki tat patyau||91
The cheeks of the Lord as so bright and gives such perfect reflection of images that when people saw their own exact reflection there with their wives too they simply got the illusion that they were standing with their own wives on the one side and with and additional wife on the other side.
सर्गस्थविलयानां वृत्तिर् जगतो ममैव वृत्तिरिति।
उद्धतमिव यत्तरळं भ्रूयुगळं तच्चकास्तु मम शास्तुः॥९२
sargasthavilayānāṁ vṛttir jagato mamaiva vṛttiriti|
uddhatamiva yattaraḻaṁ bhrūyugaḻaṁ taccakāstu mama śāstuḥ||92
May those attractive brows of Shasta which are curved daintily in contemplation protect me. The arching of that brow reflects his thoughts that the creation, maintenance and destruction happening in this universe is his own function happening through the twitch of those eyebrows.
[शास्तुश्चकास्तु मम हृदि पदभजनात् प्राप्तमुन्नतपदं मे।
इत्येवमुदितमोदं शशिशकलमिवातिविमलमळीकतलम्॥९३
śāstuścakāstu mama hṛdi padabhajanāt prāptamunnatapadaṁme|
ityevamuditamodaṁ śaśiśakalamivātivimalamaḻīkatalam||93
May the curl of hair resembling a lunar crescent adorning the forehead of Shasta remain in my heart and protect me. That curly hair is moving daintily being extremely pleased that it has reached such high position to adorn the head of the lord only because it served the lotus feet of the lord for long periods.
अलकाः स्फुरन्तु शास्त्रुर्लळिताः कळभाः इवान्तरङ्गे नः।
कचगळलोलुपाश्रितसुरतरुकुसुमानुवर्तिनोऽळिनाम्॥९४
alakāḥ sphurantu śāstrurlaḻītāḥ kaḻabhāḥ ivāntarage naḥ|
kacagaḻalolupāśritasuratarukusumānuvartino'ḻinām||94
May those locks of hair which are soft and dark shine within my inner self. They are like young elephants which have come in pursuit of bees which have camped in the neck area of the lord which is decorated with flowers from the Kalpakavriksha, the divine tree
निजपतिसहजाभरणात् स्वातिप्रियमुपहृतमिव गुहशिखिना।
उत्तंसितां सदान्तःसत्तमबर्हं चकास्तु मम शास्तुः॥९५
nijapatisahajābharaṇāt svātipriyamupahṛtamiva guhaśikhinā|
uttaṁsitāṁ sadāntaḥsattamabarhaṁ cakāstu mama śāstuḥ||95
The peacock which is the vehicle of Subramania the brother of Sasta has presented its best feather as ornament to the brother of its own master. May that feather of superior quality and beauty ever shine in my mind as Sastas ornament.
हैमं माणिक्य मणिकिरणपरिहसितकनकशिखरशृङ्गम्।
अन्तश्चकास्तु मकुटं भूषितभूतेश्वरोत्तमाङ्गं नः॥९६
haimaṁ māṇikya maṇikiraṇaparihasitakanakaśikharaśṛṅgam|
antaścakāstu makuṭaṁ bhūṣitabhūteśvarottamāṅgaṁ naḥ||96
May the crown that adorns the head of Bhutesvara the Sasta, the crown made of pure gold, which could give a sense of shame because of its superior beauty through its shine, to a mountain peak of gold studded with precious gems, remain etched in our minds.
परिहर सकलविपत्तिं वितर स्वामिन् सर्वसंपत्तिम्।
करतलधृतशरधनुषे हरिहरजनुषे नमो नमस्तुभ्यम्॥९७
parihara sakalavipattiṁ vitara svāmin sarvasaṁpattim|
karataladhṛtaśaradhanuṣe hariharajanuṣe namo namastubhyam||97
Oh Lord may your grace be pleased to remove all the dangers that would befall me. May your sweet grace be pleased to bless me will all riches and prosperity. My lord, who holds bow and arrow in you hands, my lord who is the eminent son of Hari and Hari, I offer my prostrations again and again to your merciful Grace.
निखिलचराचरबधो मुखरुचिपरिभूतकुमुदिनीबन्धो।
स्वामिन् करुणासिन्धो करुणां मयि धेहि दीनजनबन्धो॥९८
nikhilacarācarabadho mukharuciparibhūtakumudinībandho|
svāmin karuṇāsindho karuṇāṁ mayi dhehi dīnajanabandho||98
My lord, you are the closest relative of all the moving and immovable beings in this vast univers, your sweet beautiful face pushes to the rear in beauty even the shining orb of the Moon who is the friend of Lily flower. You are a huge ocean of Mercy and compaassion. You are affectionate towards people who suffer misery. May your sweet Grace be pleased to shower your abundant mercy on me.
भुवनेश भूतनायक भवतश्चरणांबुजयुगळे मे।
भूयस्तराऽस्तु भक्तिर्भूयो भूयो नमो नमस्तुभ्यम्॥९९
bhuvaneśa bhūtanāyaka bhavataścaraṇāṁbujayugaḻe me|
bhūyastarā'stu bhaktirbhūyo bhūyo namo namastubhyam||99
Oh Lord, the master of the universe, Oh Lord the leader of the Bhootas, may I be endowed with eternal devotion at your pair of feet which shine forth like lotus. May I be endowed with utter devotion, again and again, eternally at your lotus feet. May humble pranams to your sweet Grace.
सततं तय्येवाहितकुशलविचिन्ताभरे निराधारे।
कुरु मयि करुणालेशं कालविळंभं निरस्य करुणाब्धे॥१००
satataṁ tayyevāhitakuśalavicintābhare nirādhāre|
kuru mayi karuṇāleśaṁ kālaviḻaṁbhaṁ nirasya karuṇābdhe||100
Oh Lord, I am always mired in utter anxiety about my safety and security, I have no one else other than your grace to depend on for support, please avoid delay in helping me, you ocean of mercy, please show a little, little mercy on me.
