Gaurāṅga Pātakī Uddhāra Karuṇāya

O Lord Gaurāṅga! O kind savior of the sinners! From the saointly devotees' mouths I heard that You are called Patita-pāvana (the purifier of the fallen), that You deliver the sinners and give them the gift of pure love for You.

I have fallen into this fearful horrible world filled with sufferings and diseases. I stay in Māyā's trap. O Lord, who is merciful like You? I appeal to You: Please deliver me! How much time must pass before I am delivered?

I am trappeed in this material body. Now all my enemies assemble and attack me. Who will stop them? I do not know. Hearing of torments in Yamarāja's realm, I tremble in fear. Alas, still I will not use my ears to hear of Lord Hari.

I do not associate with devotees. I wish only my own personal benefit. Always I associate with wicked-hearted people. Poverty-stricken Vallabha dāsa places a blade of grass between his teeth and makes this appeal before You, O Lord.
