Translation

 

I am speechless to address You, O Lord

Possessed as I am of infinite guilt

 

Fondness for child, for wife and for parents

Fondness for smart brothers and for the king

Fondness for livestock, land and relatives

O Foe of Demons, I have forgotten You. Hari, protect me

 

Arrogance of food, wealth and all splendour

Arrogance, earlier, of youth and good looks

Arrogance of power and of possessing lands

Arrogance that no one is equal to me

 

Desire for a lot more when I have a little

Desire for a little more when I have a lot

Desire for no hardship and for great happiness

Desire for this lost life, O Purandara Vithala.
