The gist of this part of the text is "I seek your lotus feet

as my refuge", various epithets qualifying "I" are enumerated

The Lord is then addressed with a few exclamatory epithets before

the formal surrender.

 

I whose essential nature is built to be ever commanded by Him,

understanding this nature and ever thinking of it, meditating always

on His great Lordship and all his auspicious qualities, with a

devotion which is a means to the service in the form of an intense

desire to be of service in all forms under all conditions, possessed of

ripe knowledge which would lead to devoted service, engaged in action in

the form of service to Him, lacking as I am in personal qualities

like virtue (satva) and firm faith, possessed as I am of qualities and

conduct directly opposite to that enumerated and hence steeped in an

ageless ocean of sin incapable of being crosses, with naturally endowed

knowledge and lustre covered by inevitable association with prakriti

which by nature is susceptible to continous change and is a mixture of the

threefold qualities (satva,rajas&tamas), the inevitable association

being ordinarily inseparable like oil in the gingelly seed and fire in

firewood; bound inextricably by the rope or karma in the form of virtue

and sin collected over ages out of ignorance; I who cannot find the means

of over-coming this bond to samsAra however long I may try; I take refuge

in your lotus feet as the only means of emancipation O, nArAyaNa! ever

associated with Sri! The refuge of all created beings! I seek your protection.
