HARI OM

Translation

The Stotra which removes awful (frightful) hurtful difficulties.

Hey Lord of Lords, Shri Datta ! Shri Pada / Shri Vallabha ! one who
only likes Bhakti, and who has good fame - you always protect us.

* Save us (deliver us, rescue us, extricate us) from awful, (hurtful,
painful) difficulties. We bow down unto you.

Hey Aprabho ! (one who has no God above, one who is God himself,
highest authority). One who is Vishva murte (entire universe is whose
form), you are our mother, father, owner, relatives and Sadguru. You
only sustain us and look after our daily activities and well being
(Yogakshema). You are everything for us, hence

* Save us (deliver us, rescue us, extricate us) from awful, (hurtful,
painful) difficulties. We bow down unto you.

Hey Ishwara, you immediately deliver us from Papa (sin), Tapa
(misery/ agony/ torment) bodily illnesses, mental agonies, poverty,
fears and sufferings. Hey Lord who saves us from difficulties, we
cannot see, locate any other saviour other than you hence ..

* Save us (deliver us, rescue us, extricate us) from awful, (hurtful,
painful) difficulties. We bow down unto you.

Hey God, we have no other Trata (protector) other than you, no other
Data (giver) nor

Bharta (Lord / Chief/ husband / master). You protect the ones, who
surrender unto you and you get rid of their sorrows. Hey Atreya (son
of Atri Rishi - Dattatreya) oblige us (Do Krupa on us) Oh Puranarate
(One who has no desires / desireless) and

* Save us (deliver us, rescue us, extricate us) from awful, (hurtful,
painful) difficulties. We bow down unto you.

Hey Akhilanandmurte Deva (one whose very nature is of complete joy)
grant us love towards Dharma, Bhakti, and good Buddhi
(thoughtprocess / power of descrimination). Grant us Satsang (company
of good people) Fulfill Bhakti our material needs and also grant us
Mukti (liberation) and give us deep attachment towards the pure
Bhakti. Fulfill all our desires.

* Save us (deliver us, rescue us, extricate us) from awful, (hurtful,
painful) difficulties. We bow down unto you.

All these five shokas (couplets) one who recites / chants regularly
with devotion, it will bring about (increase) Mangalam
(auspiciousness / good fortune) among people, (in the world) and he /
she who chants it will be very dear to the Lord Datta.

Thus the "Ghor-kashta - Uddharna Stotram" written by Shrimat,
Paramhansa, Parivrajakacharya, "Shrimad Vasudevanand Saraswati Swami"
is complete.
