Translation

Verse 1

I am certainly the most wicked person, always performing sinful actions. For millions and millions of births I have not been able to gain release from this predicament.

Verse 2

Who is so merciful within this material universe as to pick such a sinner up and take me close to Himself?

Verse 3

But I have heard about Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Who is known as the deliverer of the most fallen. Innumerable sinners have already been freed by Him.

Verse 4

Such an ocean of compassion He is, Who is distributing His own causeless mercy! When will He deliver me by bestowing upon me His own Divine Lotus Feet?

Verse 5

Oh Lord! Now I will really understand the extent of Your compassion only if You are able to deliver this most sinful person.

Verse 6

By what means will I get those lotus feet since I am completely bereft of fruitive activities, bereft of knowledge, and bereft of any kind of devotion to Krsna?

Verse 7

My only hope is Your compassion, for the opinion of all the Vedas is that Your compassion is causeless.

Verse 8

You are the very abode of purity, and I am most wicked and evil-minded. So how will I attain the shelter of Your lotus feet?

Verse 9

Weeping and weeping, this fallen and most contemptible person says: "Dear Lord, all I know is that Your most celebrated name is Patita-Pavana, the deliverer of the fallen".
