Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 28
Sanskrit:
सोऽहं तवाङ्घ्र्युपगतोऽस्म्यसतां दुरापंतच्चाप्यहं भवदनुग्रह ईश मन्ये ।पुंसो भवेद् यर्हि संसरणापवर्ग-स्त्वय्यब्जनाभ सदुपासनया मति: स्यात् ॥ २८ ॥
ITRANS:
so ’haṁ tavāṅghry-upagato ’smy asatāṁ durāpaṁtac cāpy ahaṁ bhavad-anugraha īśa manyepuṁso bhaved yarhi saṁsaraṇāpavargastvayy abja-nābha sad-upāsanayā matiḥ syāt
Translation:
Being thus fallen, I am approaching Your feet for shelter, O Lord, because although the impure can never attain Your feet, I think it is nevertheless possible by Your mercy. Only when one’s material life has ceased, O lotus-naveled Lord, can one develop consciousness of You by serving Your pure devotees.
