Adham Udharan Nam Suni, Ur Asha Badhi Jat.
Bhakti Vashya Suni Nam Pai, Man Mahan Ati Darpat.
- Jagadguru Kripalu Ji Maharaj, Bhakti Shatak (90)
O Śrī Kṛṣṇa! Hearing your name, Patita-pāvana (“Savior of the fallen”), fills my heart with hope, for I, too, am fallen, and perhaps there is hope even for me. But when I hear names such as Bhakta-vaśya (“friend of the devotees”) and Bhakta-vatsala (“Affectionate to His devotees”), fear arises within my heart, for I have not yet become Your true devotee.
