🌸 English Meaning:
Show Your mercy, O Vitthala! Be content with us, O Lord of Pandharpur!
Vitthala, Vitthala, O Panduranga, victory to You again and again!
Among sinners I am the elder—O Lord, the king among the sinless!
Even if one knows just a mustard seed’s worth of devotion, O Shesha-shayana Hari, You accept it with grace.
Though I commit countless mistakes every moment, You, O Ocean of Compassion, still watch over me.
O Prasanna Venkata Vitthala, You are responsible for my life—my refuge, my very breath.
🪔 Reflection:
This bhajan by Sri Prasanna Venkata Dasaru overflows with humility and surrender. The devotee pleads not for grandeur, but for karuna—divine compassion. There’s a beautiful honesty here: even a mustard seed of faith, says the poet, is enough for God to respond. Vitthala is portrayed not as a distant deity but as an intimate guardian who watches over every soul, even in its thousand faults.
In our lives, mistakes and weaknesses often make us feel unworthy of divine grace. Yet Dasaru reminds us—devotion isn’t measured in perfection but in sincerity. The Lord who rests upon the cosmic serpent, Shesha, listens even to the trembling heart that cries out once in faith. How does this truth apply to your own journey? When did you last call upon the Divine, not as a flawless devotee, but as a simple soul seeking mercy? Perhaps that’s all Vitthala ever asks of us—to call, to trust, and to rest in His boundless compassion.

Sri Prasanna Venkata Dasaru was one of the ardent devotees in the Haridasa tradition, known for blending tender bhakti with deep philosophical insight. His compositions often invoke Lord Vitthala of Pandharpur, the compassionate guardian of devotees, reflecting the same spirit that inspired the great saints Purandara Dasa and Kanaka Dasa. This song continues that lineage—simple in words, yet profound in surrender.
