Pallavi

Sharanam Sharanam Gajavadana
Sharanam Sharanam Mooshika Vahana (Sharanam)

Surrender and surrender to the elephant faced one,
Surrender and surrender to the one who rides on a mouse.

Anupallavi

Karuna rasapari poorana roopam
Saranagatha pari palana devam (Sharanam)

He with a form filled with the essence of mercy,
The God who protects people surrendering to him.


Charanam

Modhaka bojanam ankusa darinam
Munijana poojitha bahu pala datham
Gowri sukumaram parama dayakaram
Srikrishna Dasa vanditha padam (Sharanam)

He who eats Modhaka, who is armed with a goad,
Who grants great results if worshipped by Munja grass,
Who is the darling of Gowri, who is greatly merciful,
And who has feet worshipped by Krishna dasa.
