To whom shall I appeal but Thee, O Narayana?
Who will fulfil my desires? Put me to Thy
breast; O merciful mother! Consider not Thy own
I have no strength of my own, I know not
how You will help me. I am delayed by this
clog that is fastened on me. Give me my own, O
God,—the store that You have set apart for me;
I form no further, no extravagant desire. I do not
pursue You like a bravado; I use no language but
Your own. Call in daysmen to decide between us;
it is meet that You delay not. I will not deal with
You by violence, O Gopala. Tuka says, I fall at Your
feet; O set my neck free.
