महापापी हूं; त्वं पतितजनरक्षा दृतमतिः

 तमरछन्नो-हं त्वं विमल तमविज्ञानसुषमा ।

 विषप्लुटो-हं त्वं सुमधुर सुधाजीवनकरी

 विनाको वा मामयि जननि ! पातुं प्रभवति

– “श्रृंगारलहरी”

I am the worst of the sinners; Thou art the Emancipator of us from sins. I am concealed in the Darkness of Ignorance; Thou art the Light of Pure Wisdom. I am scorched by poison; Thou art the sweet and life-giving Nectar !

Who else can save me, Oh Mother, save you ?

– Sringaralahari.
