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.
