ಕಾಮಾದಿ ಷಡ್ವರ್ಗ ಗಾಢಾಂಧಕಾರದಿ ಪಾಮರನಾಗಿದ್ದ ಪಾತಕನು ಶ್ರೀ ಮನೋಹರನೆ ಚಿತ್ತಜ ಜನಕನೆ ನಾಮ ಮುದ್ರಿಕೆಯಿಂದ ನಂಬಿದ ದಾಸನ ಮೇಲೆ

kāmādi ṣaḍvarga gāḍhāṃdhakāradi pāmaranāgidda pātakanu śrī manoharanè cittaja janakanè nāma mudrikèyiṃda naṃbida dāsana melè

Steeped in the thick darkness of lust and the six Enemies, a wretched sinner — yet placed faith in the beautiful Lord, Creator of all minds, through the seal of Your holy name.

ಮನೋವಾ ಕಾಯದಿಂದ ಮಾಡುವ ಕರ್ಮವು ದಾನವಾಂತಕ ನಿನ್ನ ಅಧೀನವಲ್ಲವೆ ಏನು ಮಾಡಿದರೇನು ಪ್ರಾಣ ನಿನ್ನದು ಸ್ವಾಮಿ ಶ್ರೀನಾಥ ಪುರಂದರ ವಿಠಲನ ದಾಸನ ಮೇಲೆ

manovā kāyadiṃda māḍuva karmavu dānavāṃtaka ninna adhīnavallavè enu māḍidarenu prāṇa ninnadu svāmi śrīnātha puraṃdara viṭhalana dāsana melè

O enemy of the demons, all actions done by mind and body are under Your command — what can I do, O Lord? My very life is Yours. Have mercy on the servant of Sri Purandara Vittala.
