Word breakdown
- प्रणम्यासकृत्पादयोस्ते पतित्वा
- Having bowed repeatedly at your feet and fallen,
- प्रसाद्य प्रभो प्रार्थयेऽनेकवारम् ।
- having propitiated, O Lord, I pray many times;
- न वक्तुं क्षमोऽहं तदानीं कृपाब्धे
- I am unable to speak at that time, O ocean of grace;
- न कार्यान्तकाले मनागप्युपेक्षा
- at the hour of need do not neglect me even slightly.
Do not neglect the devotee at the final hour who can no longer speak in prayer. The plea acknowledges that grace must act when human effort has ceased.
