नान्यं तवाङ्‌घ्र्युपनयादपवर्गमूर्ते:क्षेमं जनस्य परितोभिय ईश विद्म: ।ब्रह्मा बिभेत्यलमतो द्विपरार्धधिष्ण्य:कालस्य ते किमुत तत्कृतभौतिकानाम् ॥ ४३ ॥

ITRANS:

nānyaṁ tavāṅghry-upanayād apavarga-mūrteḥkṣemaṁ janasya parito-bhiya īśa vidmaḥbrahmā bibhety alam ato dvi-parārdha-dhiṣṇyaḥkālasya te kim uta tat-kṛta-bhautikānām

Translation:

My dear Lord, even Lord Brahmā, who enjoys his exalted position for the entire duration of the universe, fears the passage of time. Then what to speak of those whom Brahmā creates, the conditioned souls. They encounter fearful dangers at every step of their lives. I do not know of any relief from this fear except shelter at Your lotus feet, which are the very form of liberation.
