Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu .2.103
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
A devotee of Lord Kṛṣṇa said, “When even Śaśiśekhara [Lord Śiva] is unable to see You, what chance is there for me, who am lower than an ordinary worm? I have only committed misdeeds. I know that I am not at all fit to offer my prayers to You, but because You are known as Dīnabandhu, the friend of the fallen, I humbly pray that You will kindly purify me by the beams of Your transcendental glance. If I become thoroughly bathed by Your merciful glance, then I may be saved. Therefore, my Lord, I am requesting You to please bestow upon me Your merciful glance.”
Though I am sinful and lower than an insect, and thus unqualified to pray, still I am praying. Prārthaye ’pi is sometimes seen instead of prārthayāmi.
