Transliteration (IAST)
hama devatā parama adhikārī। svāratha rata prabhu bhagati bisārī॥ bhava pravāhaṃ santata hama pare। aba prabhu pāhi sarana anusare॥ 6 ॥
Meaning
We gods, though of the highest rank, have, being devoted to self-interest, forgotten devotion to the Lord and have constantly fallen into the current of worldly existence, the cycle of birth and death. Now, O Lord, we have come to your refuge; protect us.
