Meaning:
Rama! How shocking to know that you are capricious and double-tongued! What am I to do for that? You rock the baby in the cradle and pinch it, too! You punish men or make them immortal only as they deserve, in accordance with your dispensation. Are you not the greatest fortune of your devotees?
