Translation
I submit my prayer, O Lord, at Your lotus feet. I am fallen and degraded — this is known throughout the three worlds. There is no sinner within this world equal to me, Nor is there any offender in all creation like myself. All those sins and offenses that I have committed — I feel ashamed even to speak of them, but You know everything. Besides You, whose shelter shall I accept? You are the Lord of all lords, the son of Mahārāja Nanda. O Lord! This entire universe is Yours; You are all-pervading. Please destroy the offenses I have committed against You. You are the shelter of those whose steps have faltered. Other than You, what else does this merciful soul have? May all such offenders as I Always remain surrendered unto You. Now Bhaktivinoda takes shelter of You And today fully surrenders himself at Your lotus feet.
