Duhkher Sagore
"In the Ocean of Misery" — 11. Duḥkher Sāgore
I am swimming in the ocean of material suffering, and I do not know of any way to be lifted out.
O Lord! Please rescue me from the raging storm that is rapidly approaching with torrents of rain. When it reaches me, I do not know what will happen.
You, O Lord, are the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is merciful to poor fallen souls. Please save me from the terrible storm that menaces before me.
If You do not deliver me, O Lord, then I do not even hope to be saved.
