"O venerable Vaishnava, ocean of mercy, be merciful unto your servant. Give me the shade of your lotus feet and purify me. I hold on to your lotus feet."
Meaning
A song by Bhaktivinoda Thakura from Sharanagati. The devotee asks the Vaishnava for "a drop of faith" to chant the holy name: "Krishna is yours; you have the power to give Him to me." In Gaudiya understanding Krishna's mercy comes through His devotees.
