TRANSLATION
Oh Lord of Vṛṣa Giri! May Thou befitting Your name as Hari extend to me Your immense dayā and protect me, who is guilty of committing limitless and unbearable sins without let. adiyēn has now rushed to Your pāda kamalam with the full trust in Your matchless compassion to overlook my unforgivable trespasses and protect me.
PURPORT
Oh Hari! "Parayā kṛpayā māṃ Pāhi" is the moving prayerful appeal to the Lord. He is Para Brahmam and hence His Kṛpā (grace) is also Parā Kṛpā. It is a grace for which there are no equals or superiors. The Śaraṇāgatan is brimming (bharitam) with aparādha śatams and is scared about what is going to happen to him. Therefore, he rushes (tvaritam) to the Lord's Tiruvadi and prays “Harē Kṛpayā paripāhi." He does not say “Pāhi”, but appeals one step higher with the request, "Paripāhi."
