Verses

Verse 1

viracaya mayi dandam dina-bandho dayam va

gatir iha na bhavattah kacid anya mamasti

nipatatu sata-kotir nirmalam va navambhas

tad api kila payodah stuyate catakena

Verse 2

pracinanam bhajanam atulam duskaram srnvato me

nairyasena jvalati hrdayam bhakti-lesalasasya

visva-dricim aghahara tavakarnya karunya-vicim

asa-binduksitam idam upety antare hanta saityam

Translation

Verse 1

O friend of the fallen, deal out punishment to me, or mercy — whichever You please. Apart from You I have no other refuge in this world. Let a hundred million thunderbolts fall upon it, or let pure, fresh rain fall — still it is only the cloud that the cataka bird praises.

Verse 2

Hearing of the incomparable and difficult devotional practice of the great souls of old, my heart burns with despair, feeble as it is in even a trace of devotion. Yet, O remover of sin, upon hearing of Your wave of mercy visible to the whole world, this heart — alas — sprinkled with a single drop of hope, grows cool again within.
