praṇata-dehināṁ pāpa-karṣaṇaṁ
tṛṇa-carānugaṁ śrī-niketanam |
phaṇi-phaṇārpitaṁ te padāmbujaṁ
kṛṇu kuceṣu naḥ kṛndhi hṛc-chayam ||
(Śrīmad Bhāgavatam: 10.31.7)
“Please put upon our breasts
Your lotus feet,
Which remove the sins of the embodied who have taken shelter,
Which follow the animals [of Vraja],
Which are the abode of śrī [i.e., beauty, or, Lakṣmī],
And which were placed on the hoods of the serpent [i.e., Kālīya].
Please cut away our lust [lit., ‘that which lies in the heart’].”
