(Stotra-ratna: 53)
“O Master, whatever is mine and whoever I am—all of this is actually yours alone. O Mādhava, with this enlightened awareness of [everything] being eternally your own, what now can I even offer you?”

“You are the father, you are the mother, you are the beloved son, you are the dear well-wisher, you are the friend, you are the guru, and you are the shelter of the world. I am yours, I am your servant, I am your attendant, and I hold you as my shelter. I am surrendered unto you, and as such I am indeed your responsibility [i.e., your dependent].”
