एकनाथ उवाच
हा कृष्ण करुणासिन्धो भक्तवत्सल माधव |
क्वासि क्वासि जगन्नाथ रुक्मिणीनाथ केशव ||
ब्रह्मरुद्रादिपूज्यस्त्वं मम शिष्यत्वमागतः |
कृतवानसि गोविन्द दास्यं बहुविधं बत ||
नाहं वसिष्ठो भगवान्न च सान्दीपनिः प्रभो |
क्वाहं मन्दमतिर्दीनः क्व त्वं सर्वज्ञ इक्ष्वरः ||
अहो पापमहो पापं पापिष्ठस्य ममापि च |
त्वया सर्वॆक्ष्वरणापि पादसंवाहनं कृतम् ||
अजानता तवत्प्रभावामपराधान् कृतवान् मया |
क्षमस्व करुणासिन्धो गोविन्द यदुनन्दन ||
एवं हि बहुधा दीनं प्रलपन्नं पुनः पुनः |
सान्त्वयामास विप्रोपि भक्तश्रेष्ठं गुरुं प्रभोः ||
तत्रैवोवास विप्रोपि कृष्णस्याज्ञामनुस्मरन् |
एकनाठस्य कैङ्कर्यं कुर्वञ्च प्रेमपूरवकम् ||
Ekanath lamented
Hey Krishna ! Oh! Ocean of compassion! Oh, the one fond of the bhaktas! Madhava! Lord of the world! Lord of Devi Rukmini! Keshava! Where have You gone? You, who deserve all the worship and the veneration of the devas like Brahma and Rudra, served me in many ways becoming my disciple. Oh! Lord! I am not Bhagavan Vasishtha! Nor am I Sandeepani (the guru of Shri Rama and the guru of Shri Krishna respectively). Oh! How low am I, the dull-witted one and how great are you, the all knowing Almighty? Oh! You, the all-pervading spirit, massaged my legs! How great a sinner am I? Please forgive me for all my sins committed unaware of Your glory.
Shri Sadguru continued
The brahmana consoled Ekanatha, the preceptor of Shri Bhagavan Himself and the noblest of the devotees who was weeping bitterly. That brahmana was living there, serving Ekanatha with great devotion and affection as he was having in mind the command of Lord Shri Krishna.
Thus ends Chapter Eleven entitled “Ekanatha Charitam I” of Book VIII of Shri Vaishnava Samhita composed by Shri Shri Krishna Premi Swamigal
