श्री रुद्र - अनुवाक १ - मन्त्र २

या त इशु: शिवतमा शिवं बभूव ते धनु: |
शिवा शरव्या यातव तयानो रुद्र म्रुदय    ||२||



O! Lord Rudra your arrow has become benevolent and benign. Similarly your bow - Pinaka, your quiver - Sharavya, also have become peaceful. Make us happy with these weapons.


The Lord is holding the bow and the arrow and is seated in a chariot along with Uma and has a benign smile. This is the form for contemplation. The repetition of this mantra is used for warding off the calamities such as famine.


Vishnusuri: इशु has already been explained as jiva. शरव्या is explained as that in which the jiva finds itself i.e. maya. So the prayer as per Vishnusuri is for granting one happiness by making this maya ineffective.
