English translation: (rough, I gave myself 5 minutes to write it,

will correct it later and update in WWW file).

 

O miinalochanii, I take refuge in thy feet and I am certain that

it will destroy all my sins. By thy grace, my mind which is now

an embodiment of imperfections will change and shine in the sky

of wisdom (bestow that grace).

 

Your eyes do not blink out of your boundless love for this

universe. For if you protecting grace is shutdown it will

perish. O umaa, I long when I will be able to receive the grace

and commune with you.

 

O Mother, whatever I have studied, whatever I have earned, and

the little joy I derive in this world from my relatives and

friends are an utter waste, if I am unable to receive your

love. For all these endeavors have purpose only to enable to

receive you.

 

Just because her son is sinner, will a mother hold back her

love? Even the human mothers do not do that. You are mother of

all, how can you deny me that love? If only, just for a second,

if you shower your grace and compassion on me, all my sins will

fall away and I will be made pure to receive you.

 

O miinalochanii, you alone are the indweller of my heart and your

name alone is my means destroy all my karma. O miinalochanii, I

am your humble servant, and the dust that is hallowed by Thy feet

is my only means to destroy my sins.
