श्रीरूपेण प्रबलकरुनाशालिना दर्शितं य-
न्मादृङ्मुग्धप्रकृतिजनताश्रेयसे रागवर्त्म ।
तस्मिन्येषां रतिरतितरां वर्तते सारभाजां
तेषां पादाम्बुजनतिमती कोटिशस्स्याज्जनिर्मे ॥
śrī-rūpeṇa prabala-karunā-śālinā darśitaṁ yan
mādṛṅ-mugdha-prakṛti-janatā-śreyase rāga-vartma |
tasmin yeṣāṁ ratir atitarāṁ vartate sāra-bhājāṁ
teṣāṁ pādāmbuja-natimatī koṭiśas syāj janir me ||
(Svātma-pramodinī-ṭīkā on Ujjvala-nīlamaṇi: 15.260)
“May I receive crores of births
Filled with obeisances unto the lotus feet
Of those graspers of essence
Who have profound loving attachment (rati)
To the path of rāga
Shown for the sake of the highest benefit
Of the populace of erring temperament like myself
By the profoundly compassionate Śrī Rūpa.”
