yuddha majhārī sārathi
hoke ratha ko hāṅkho cakra
sudarśana dhārī re bhaktan
kī ṭeka na ṭārī
Just as You protected Arjuna, during the Mahabharata war. You were the charioteer of Arjuna, Oh beholder of the Sudarsana Cakra! You truly honored Your devotees.
jaisī
lāj rākhī draupadī kī honana
dīni udhārī khecaka
khecaka do bhujha thāke duḥśāsana
paci hārī re cīra
barāyo murārī
Just as You protected Draupadi when she was helpless. You defeated by Duhsasana, by supplying Draupadi a long chain of clothes. His two arms got tired and he became unconscious by Murari's power.
sura
dāsa kī lāja rākho ab
kahe rakhawārī rādhe

Please protect Sura Dasa, Oh protector of devotees. You are the lover of the beloved of Srimati Radharani, the beloved daughter of King Vrsabhanu. I have come to take shelter of You.
