Arthera Sañcaye Viṣaya Prayāse

O Lord! I have remained immersed in the defects of over-accumulating wealth, endeavouring for worldly ends, prattling about topics unrelated to You, acting in accordance with guidelines meant for others and disregarding guidelines meant for myself, associating with non-devotees, and being fickle-minded.

Thus devotion to You has remained far away from me. Only malice towards others, pride, desire for worldly prestige, and insincerity flourish within my heart.

I have not been able to abandon any of these attachments. I now die due to my own defects. My birth has become useless. O Lord! What should I do now?

I am fallen. Your purifying Name is the saviour of the fallen. Embracing that relationship (through my relationship with Śrī Guru), I have taken shelter at Your feet.
