O my dear Lord Gaurāṅga! Please show Your mercy to this lowly and destitute soul. O Lord! There is no one more fallen than myself in all the three worlds.
Holding grass between my teeth, O Lord Gaura, I am calling out to You now! Please be compassionate upon me and come to reside within the temple of my heart.
If You do not give Your mercy, seeing how fallen I am, then why are You known as Patita Pāvana—the merciful Savior of the fallen?
I am plunged amidst the violent hurricane-stricken waves in the ocean of this material world, from which there is no escape. Kindly give me the gift of Your divine lotus feet, which are compared to a boat in which Your servant may cross over the ocean of birth and death.
Narottama Dāsa, the servant of the servant of Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Prabhu, ceaselessly makes this prayer.
