sautye vṛtaḥ kumatinā ātma daḥ īśvaraḥ me yat pāda padmam abhavāya bhajanti bhavyāḥ mām śrānta vāham arayaḥ rathinaḥ bhuvi ṣṭham na prāharan yat anubhāva nirasta cittāḥ
It was by His mercy only that my enemies neglected to kill me when I descended from my chariot to get water for my thirsty horses. And it was due to my lack of esteem for my Lord that I dared engage Him as my chariot driver, for He is worshiped and offered services by the best men to attain salvation.
