Embodiments of Love!
I had to go to Delhi and then a place near Shimla( Kalka) for departmental review; there was no proper sleep from 31 st March; came back to office on 4 th April that too getting up very early to catch morning flight; in the office tiresome work; added to that that day was Siva Pradosh Upavasam—fasting; end of the day while closing down, got up and took a step; the internet cable just pulled me and I fell flat; my bone socket of the right side eye hit the floor; also right shoulder, right side of waist and knee got hit badly; 3 fingers of the right hand got entangled
however I could recover fast; after Full moon-pournami—pooja I offer this to my Mother who holds me always in Her hands

शिवः शक्त्या युक्तो यदि भवति शक्तः प्रभवितुं
न चेदेवं देवो न खलु कुशलः स्पन्दितुमपि ।
अतस्त्वामाराध्यां हरिहरविरिञ्चादिभिरपि
प्रणन्तुं स्तोतुं वा कथमकृतपुण्यः प्रभवति ॥ १ ॥
śivaḥ śaktyā yukto yadi bhavati śaktaḥ prabhavituṁ
na cedevaṁ devo na khalu kuśalaḥ spanditumapi |
atastvāmārādhyāṁ hariharaviriñcādibhirapi
praṇantuṁ stotuṁ vā kathamakṛtapuṇyaḥ prabhavati || 1 ||
न चेदेवं देवो न खलु कुशलः स्पन्दितुमपि ।

न खलु—not becoming

अतः--hence
त्वाम्—your
आराध्य—to be worshipped
हरिहरविरिञ्चादिभिरपि—it can be split as Hari, Hara, Virinchati api==means even Vishnu, Siva , Brahma and the like
प्रणन्तुं—do prostrations
स्तोतुं—do praise

स्तोतुं—do praise
वा—stands for the question Tag like—isn’t it?
कथम्—how
अकृत—not accrued
पुण्यः—merits, spiritual pursuit
प्रभवति—( how) is it possible
After rearranging ( to get meaning)
ShaktyA yuktaH bhavati yadi . Only if yoked with Shakti
ShivaH devaH . (even) Lord shiva
shaktaH . has the ability
prabhavituM . to create the world;
evaM na cet -- if not so (yoked),
kushalaH na . (He) is not capable
spandituM api . even to make a move.
khalu . Isn.t it so?
ataH . Therefore,
kathaM prabhavati . how is it possible
akRta-puNyaH . (for) one who has not accrued any (spiritual) merits
praNantuM . to do prostrations to
stotuM vA -- or to praise (by hymns)
tvAM . You
hari-hara-virinchAdibhir-api ArAdhyAm .
who are worshipped even by Vishnu, Shiva, Brahma and the like?
(
Simply it means nothing is possible without the participation of my Mother Kali
Kanchi Maha Swamigal says: Prostration is by the body (kAyaM). Praising through a hymn is by speech (vAk). By implication the mind (manas) is also mentioned. Thus in the very first shloka the dedication to Her by manas, vAk and kAyaM has been done. And naturally, the completeion of this dedication in the form of .Atma-samarpaNaM.
With lots of love
