॥ मामव दत्तप्रभो! ॥

मामव दत्तप्रभो!
कपिं कपिलाववतार! (पल्लवी)

Oh Lord Datta! Sage Kapila is Your incarnation. Protect Me, the monkey.

तव पद कमला नतम्,
कोमल कमला हृदय!

Tender Lakṣmī exists in Your heart. Protect Me, who has fallen on Your lotus feet.

भव पल्वल सङ्कुलम्,
त्रिमत समन्वय मूल!

You are the source of the correlation of the philosophies of the three divine preachers called Śaṇkara, Rāmānuja and Madhva. Protect Me, who is polluted with this worldly mud pond.

त्वत्तो न परागतिः,
त्वमेव शरणं नाथ!

There is no way other than Yourself. My Lord! You are My only asylum.
