TRANSLATION

O saintly Vaisnavas , although I am very fallen and misbehaved, I still place this appeal before you: Â My destiny has plunged me in the fearsome ocean of repeated birth and death. Â Please grab me by the hair and pull me to the opposite shore.

My destiny is very powerful. Â I am not able to hear the knowledge of spiritual life, and I am always bound by the ropes of karma. Â I cannot see any way to escape my condition. Â I see only suffering. Â Helpless and stricken with grief, I cry.

My blind mind cannot see what path is auspicious or inauspicious. Â

My blind mind is helplessly dragged from here to there by lust, anger, greed, bewilderment, madness and pride.

My mind became immersed in the impermanent satisfaction of the senses, and I could not understand the real goal of life. Â For this reason I did not aspire to attain Your lotus feet. Â Narottama

dasa says: Now that I am able to see, hear, and touch the Vaisnavas , I have become free from all fear.
