Because I often happened to have the friendship of those who enjoy the essence evilsome sense-objects, O Lord Sri Rama! my body has emaciated; even after looking at me repeatedly, O Lotus petal Eyed! O Pure bodied! why wouldn’t you have compassion on me? 2. As I happened to endure the onslaught of never-ending ocean of Worldly Existence, and, therefore, am frightened, while I am tossed about like water droplet on the Lotus leaf, even after looking at me in such a state, O Lord whose body resembles the thunder-cloud! O Incomparable Hero! why wouldn’t You have compassion on me? 3.

O Lord who has a history enabling fording the ocean of Worldly Existence! why wouldn’t You have compassion on me? |
