In this world I have been a life burdened to the earth, and straying from the path I have sought the company of evil men.
Verse 9 — ārū kāyuvarilla seridè ninagayya
ārū kāyuvarilla seridè ninagayya
No one else protects me — I have taken refuge in you, O Lord.
Verse 10 — dhīraveṇugopāla pārugāṇisò hariyè
dhīraveṇugopāla pārugāṇisò hariyè
O valiant cowherd of the flute, O Hari, ferry me across!
