asharaṇa-sharaṇa! sharaṇa tava āyo
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Oh refuge of the destitute, Shrī Kṛishṇa! Now I have come to You for protection. Being repeatedly born in both animate and inanimate forms of life, I kept on wandering in this world like an orphan since eternity until now. But, Oh Lord! Because of forgetting and abandoning Your lotus-feet which are the reservoir of bliss, I could not rest peacefully even for a single moment. When I was completely exhausted, the saints, knowing me to be wretched and distressed, revealed the great secret that real peace can be experienced only in Your shelter. Now, totally renouncing the worldly happiness and the bliss of liberation, I have clung to the lotuses of Your beautiful feet like a black bee. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “Since the time I have become Yours, the Vedic rituals and the three modes of māyā have been greatly disappointed as now they have no control on me.”

asharaṇa-sharaṇa! sharaṇa tava āyo
bhaṭakata rahyoṁ anādi-kāla te, jyoṁ anātha jaga, aga-jaga jāyo
taji tava charaṇa-kamala kahuṁ nekahuṁ, ekahuṁ pala kahaṁ kala nahiṁ pāyo
gayo hāri jaba, dīna jāni mohiṁ, rasika-janana yaha marama batāyo
bhukti-mukti-sukha bhāra ḍāri aba, bani madhukara charanana lipaṭāyo
jaba ‘kripālu’ hvai gayo tihāro, kāla, karma, guna saba khisiyāyo
