(Saranagati, 17, Goptritve Varan)
ki jani ki bale | tomara dhamete |
ha-inu saranagata |
tumi dayamaya | patita-pavana |
patita-tarane rata
[1] |
I do not know by what force I have taken shelter within Your abode. Surely it
is by Your mercy alone, for You are ever seeking the purification and
deliverance of the fallen souls.
bharasa amara | ei matra natha! |
tumi ta' karuna-maya |
tava daya patra | nahi mora sama |
avasya ghuchare bhaya
[2] |
O Lord! You are merciful. This is my sole hope. There is no one who needs
Your mercy more than I. Certainly You will dispel all my fear.
amare tarite | kahara sakati |
avani-bhitare nahi |
dayala thakura! | ghosana tomara |
adhama pamare trahi
[3] |
There is no one on earth who has the power to deliver me. O merciful Lord! It
is Your declaration that You deliver the lowest, most sinful persons.
sakala chhadiya | asiyachhi ami |
tomara charane natha! |
ami nitya-dasa | tumi palayita |
tumi gopta, jagannatha!
[4] |
Abandoning everything, I have come to Your feet, O Lord! I am Your eternal
servant, and You are my maintainer and protector, O Lord of the universe!
tomara sakala | ami matra dasa |
amara taribe tumi |
tomara charana | karinu varana |
amara nahi ta' ami
[5] |
Everything is Yours. I am only a servant. Certainly You will deliver me. I
have embraced Your feet and no longer belong to myself.
bhakativinoda | kandiya sarana |
la'yechhe tomara paya |
ksami' aparadha | name ruchi diya |
palana karahe taya
[6] |
Weeping, Bhakti Vinod takes shelter at Your feet. Forgiving his offences and
giving him a taste for the Name, kindly maintain him.
