tuu_dayaalu

Too Dayalu by Tulsidas from Vinay Patrika at Stutimandal

Sample: You are merciful and I am destitute; You grant wishes and I am the seeker. I am a well-known fallen one and You absolve away the heap of sins. You protect the orphans, and there is no orphan like me [hence, protect me]. There is no pain-absolver like You and I am in immense pain [hence, absolve my pain].[1—2]

sarada_prarthana

Sharada Prarthana by Shankaracharya at Stutimandal

Sample: Salutations to You, O Śāradā, Who is noble, and Who resides in Kāśmīra! I request You incessantly and may You give knowledge to me. That (Śāradā) is devotion, memory, intelligence, and Goddess of speech. She is dear to Brahmā, She resides on the tip of devotee’s tongue, and She bestows qualities like restraint, power and perseverance.[1--2]

krsna_prarthana

Krishna Prarthana by Animesh at Stutimandal

Sample: Though I am wicked or without wisdom, I think I am very wise. Though I am greedy and always desirous, I think I am desireless. Though I am greedy and colored with hypocrisy, I think I am deep in virtue. Though I am dull and engrossed in mundane existence (world), I think I am deep in devotion.[1—2]
