312 The Nectar of Devotion

A devotee of Lord Krsna said, “When even Sagigekhara [Lord Siva]
is unable to see You, what chance is there for me, who am lower than
an ordinary worm? I have only committed misdeeds. I know that I
am not at all fit to offer my prayers to You, but because You are
known as Dinabandhu, the friend of the fallen, I humbly pray that
You will kindly purify me by the beams of Your transcendental
glance. If I become thoroughly bathed by Your merciful glance, then
I may be saved. Therefore, my Lord, I am requesting You to please
bestow upon me Your merciful glance.”
