He is as calm as the waters of the ocean when the wind has ceased and the fish remain still. Therefore, my lord, since you bestow perfection on the performers of austerity, please award this sage the perfection that is obviously due him.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
He is as calm as the waters of the ocean when the wind has ceased and the fish and water remain still. Therefore, my lord, since you bestow perfections, please award this sage the result of his austerities.
Nibhṛtoda-jhaṣa-vrātaḥ means “the ocean where the water and the schools of fish are completely still.”
