Sloka - 20 दासोऽस्मी ति त्वयि शिव मया नित्यसि द्धं निव ेद्यं जानास्येतत् त्वमपि यदहंनिर्गतिः सम्भ्रमामि । नास्त्येव ान्यन्मम किमपि ते नाथ विज्ञापनीयं कारुण्यान्मे श रणवरणं दीनवृत्तेहाण ॥२०
I have to submit before You the well established fact that I am Your servant, O Shiva! You also know that I am despairing without any means of escape. There is nothing else that I have to submit before You, O Lord. Out of compassion kindly accept the surrender of this miserable one.
Sloka - 21 ब्रह्मोपेन्द्रप्रभृतिभि रपि स्वेप्सितप्रार्थ नाय स्वामि न्नग्रेचिरमवसरस्तो षयद्भिःप्रतीक्ष्यः । द्राग ेव त्वां यदिह श रणं प्रार्थय े कीटकल्प स्तद् विश्वाधीश्वर तव कृपामेवविश्व स्य दीने ॥२१
O Lord, even Brahma, Vishnu and other gods have to wait long before propitiating You, seeking an opportunity to pray for the fulfilment of their desires. I, who am only like a worm. pray for quick refuge in You, only because of my faith in Your compassion, O Lord of the universe.
Sloka - 22 कर्मज्ञानप्रचयमखिलं दुष्करं नाथ पश्यन् पापासक्तं हृदयमपि चापारयन् सन्निरोद्धम् । संसाराख्येपुरहर महत्यन्धकूपविषीदन् हस्ता लम्बप्रप तनमिदं प्राप्य ते निर्भय ोऽस्मि ॥२२
O Lord, seeing that the paths of karma and jnana are difficult, and being unable to control my mind which is inclined towards sin, suffering in the great bottomless pit that is samsara, O Lord Shiva, I am now free from fear, having surrendered myself into Your supporting hands.
