Tangled in darkness I,
In the deep night of worldly ignorance,
From this, O Govind, dearest bliss of Yasoda,
Set thou me free.
Close to thy side no place is found
For such dark ignorance,
Thy fellowship divine
Brings sanctity to men.
Needs were, Brahma Itself
Thereby were purer made.
By this e'en Ajamela's sin
Was cleansed, so honest Jani says.
