Slokam 10:

nAvEkshasE yadi tato bhuvanAnyamooni 
nAlam praBhO bhavitumEva kuta: pravritti:
Evam nisargasuhrudi tvayi sarvajantO:
swaminna chitram idam Ashrita vatsalatvam ||

praBhO - oh protector of the worlds!, 
amooni bhuvanAni - these worlds (sentient and non-
sentient)
na avEkshasE yadi - if you had not showered your 
grace{katAksha};if you had not cast 
your graceful looks (as described
in bramha sutras by "E kshatE rnA 
shabdam" and "gouNa 
shchEnnAtmashabdAt" , "sankalpa" in
the form of grace is meant here.)

tatha: - during the time of praLaya {at that time, 
without Your grace}
bhavitum Eva - manifestation,
na alam - not possible

kuta: pravritti - (without your grace) where is the 
future for these incapable worlds?; 
{even when they would not been
been present without your Grace, 
what is there to say about the 
happenings in them?}
sarvajanthO: - all living beings, 
hE swamin - oh, Protector!, 
Evam - in this way, 
nisarga suhrudi - natural well wisher, 
tvayi - in you, 
idam - this , 
Ashrita vatsalatvam - the attribute of great affection

towards those who consider You
as their refuge; {just like a 
cow is affectionate towards its 
newborn calf - even the dirt it 
likes of it}
na chitram - is not surprising {is not special etc.}

tAtparyam:

Oh. Protector of the universe!, without your grace 
nothing in this world could have manifested. For You, 
who by nature, is a well wisher to every living being,

love and affection towards those who are
Your devotees (And hence, protection to them) is a 
very natural attribute.
