atripriyaputramāśraye | dattaṁ bhārgava praṇata caraṇam ॥ (Chorus)
I surrender to the beloved son of Atri; to Datta; to the One at whose feet is Paraśurāma.
jñānābharaṇaṁ, māyāvaraṇaṁ, bhaktoddharaṇaṁ, triguṇakaraṇam |
(I surrender) To the One whose ornament is His knowledge;
To the One who is hidden behind the illusion created by Him;
To the Uplifter of devotees;
To the One who plays with the three fundamental qualities (sattvam, rajas and tamas).
nijānucara-vara-koṭitraya sura-kara-sevā'moda-bharam |
(I surrender) To the One who is highly pleased with the service rendered by three crores of angels, who are His followers.
ameya-śama-dama-samatva-mati-gati-vimukti-karavaradam ॥
(I surrender) To the One who grants the boon of salvation, which is unassuming practical control over the self.
