śocasy atho puruṣādair ivārtān
vācaṁ devīṁ brahma-kule kukarmaṇy
abrahmaṇye rāja-kule kulāgryān


Text

Do you lament because I am standing on only one leg? Or are you lamenting for yourself being enjoyed by sinners? Or are you lamenting because the devatās have been deprived of their share of the sacrifices? Or are you lamenting for the citizens without rain?

Purport

Ma means mam. Are you lamenting because you are being enjoyed by sinful persons (vrsalaih). It is in the masculine gender in referring to atma.
