amaryadah ksudras calamatir asaya-prasavabhuh
krtaghno durmani smara-paravaso vancana-parah
nrsamsah papisthah katham aham ito duhkha-jaladher
aparad uttirnas tava paricareyam caranayoh
"Uncultured, mean, fickle-minded, envious, ungrateful, proud, subservient to lust, deceitful, hard-hearted, and sinful am I. O Lord, how will I ever be able to cross this insurmountable ocean of misery and attain to the service of Your lotus feet?"
nanu prayatnah sakrd eva natha
tavaham asmiti ca yacamanah
tavanukampyah smaratah pratijnam
mad eka varjjam kim idam vratante
"O Lord, one who keeps Your pledge in mind and wholly surrenders unto You, declaring, 'I am Yours alone,' is a fit recipient for Your grace. Is it only I who am not included in Your promise?"
na ninditam karma tad asti loke
sahasraso yan na maya vyadhayi
so 'ham vipakavasare mukunda
krandami sampraty agatis tavagre
"O Mukunda, there is no offensive activity in this world that I have not performed thousands of times. Now, finally, I have no alternative but to simply weep before You."
Dhig asucim avinitam nirbhayam maam alajjam parama-purusa! yo'ham yogivary'aagraganyaih vidhi-siva-sanak'aadyaih dhyaatum atyanta-duuram tava parijana-bhaavam kaamaye kaama-vrttah.
O Supreme Purusha, fie upon me who am impure, immodest, audacious, impudent and self willed and yet desirous of the rank of Your servant, which even those worthy of being counted foremost among the supreme yogins, Brahma, Siva and Sanaka cannot conceive in their minds.
