dayāmaya! apanī ora nihāro

English meaning

A devotee, addressing Bhagwan Kṛishṇa, says – “Oh Ocean of mercy! We are bad and mean since time immemorial, but You should look at Yourself; because Your promise is to purify the sinners. I have heard that Ahilyā was a stone, the Vānaragaṇa were animals, and Guha was lowborn, but You have given them all a place in Your heart. The implication is that stones, animals, and lowest-born are very dear to You. I have got the attributes of not just one but all these three types of beings in plenty. For example, my heart is like Indra’s thunderbolt, which is even harder than a stone; my intellect is worse than an animal’s; and my actions are like those of the millions of lowest-born. Oh customer of qualities, Shyāmasundara! When You were pleased with only one of the above-mentioned qualities, we have many such qualities to please You. If You say, ‘Come to My feet through the strength of self-efforts’, then our deliverance is impossible in all the three times – past, present and future.” Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “We are the servants of that merciful Lord, who is ours even though we are devoid of all means.”
