हर त्वं संसारं द्रुततरमसारं सुरपते हर त्वं पापानां विततिमपरां यादवपते । अहो दीनानाथं निहितमचलं निश्चितपदं जगन्नाथः स्वामी नयनपथगामी भवतु मे ॥८॥

Word breakdown
- हर त्वं संसारं द्रुततरमसारं सुरपते हर त्वं पापानां विततिमपरां यादवपते ।
- Remove samsara, swiftly and worthless, O lord of the gods; remove the boundless expanse of sins, O lord of the Yadavas.
- अहो दीनानाथं निहितमचलं निश्चितपदं जगन्नाथः स्वामी नयनपथगामी भवतु मे ॥८॥
- Ah, refuge of the helpless, firm and immovable, sure footing: may Jagannatha, my Lord, come within the path of my eyes.
The prayer to remove samsara and sin is the prayer to see the immovable Lord who is the only secure ground. Jagannatha as refuge of the helpless is the Self that never wavers when the world dissolves.
