श्रीविट्ठल कृपासिन्धो भक्तरक्षक केशव |
प्रपन्नां पाहि मां देव शरणागतवत्सल ||
न मे माता पिता चैव न च भ्राता न बान्धवः |
तस्मात्वमेव सर्वस्वमबलाया मम प्रभो ||
दीनायां मयि कारुण्यं कृत्वा दीनजनाप्रिय |
दास्यं देहि दयासिन्धो सन्निधाने तवैव हि ||
का हानिस्तव गोविन्द सक्षाल्लक्ष्मीपतेः प्रभोः |
अनाथायाक्ष्च दीनाया मम संरक्षणे कृते ||
वैष्णवैः कीर्तितं श्रुत्वा तव माहात्म्यमद्भुतम् |
आगतास्मि च विक्ष्वासादनन्यगतिरच्युत ||
तस्मात् स्वीकुरु गोविन्द तव दासीमिमां जनाम् |
प्रपन्नां रुक्मिणीं पूर्वं यथा पालितवानसि ||T

Shri Vitthala! Oh, ocean of mercy! Oh! Saviour of the devotees! Keshava! Deva! The protector of those who have taken asylum in You! Please save me, Your slave. Oh Lord! I do not have my mother, father, brothers or relatives. You are everything for me, the meek one. Oh! Ocean of mercy! The partaker of poverty! Please bestow mercy on me and have me as Your servant in the temple. Govinda! You are the Lord of the worlds and the consort of Goddess Lakshmi. What will You lose in protecting this poor orphan? Achyuta! I have listened to the sadhus, singing in praise of You. As I have no other resort. I have come to You with deep faith in You. Govinda! Formerly You saved Shri Rukmini Devi who took refuge in You. In the same way, please accept me this Janabai, as Your slave.
