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.

Weeping, Bhakti Vinod takes shelter at Your feet. Forgiving his offences and
giving him a taste for the Name, kindly maintain him.
