1. In this age of Kali, when all paths are lost, when the world is full of heretics, Krishna alone is my refuge.
2. In the land of the uncivilized, the dwelling place of sin, and the jungle of tigers, Krishna alone is my refuge.
3. In the holy places like the banks of the Ganges that are surrounded by the wicked, and the abode of demons, Krishna alone is my refuge.
4. In those who are deluded by ego, those who follow the path of sin for the sake of wealth and honor, Krishna alone is my refuge.
5. In those who are ignorant of the true nature of things, those who practice mantras and vows, and those who seek expiation, Krishna alone is my refuge.
6. In all those who have lost their way due to various temptations, those who perform various actions and vows, and those who are engaged in one-pointed devotion to the heretics, Krishna alone is my refuge.
7. As the destroyer of the sins of Ajamila and others, who have committed various offenses, and as the one who reveals the greatness of all, Krishna alone is my refuge.
8. As the greatest among all the divine beings, who gives infinite happiness, and as the complete embodiment of happiness, therefore, Krishna alone is my refuge.
9. For the one who is devoid of discrimination, patience, devotion, and other virtues, and who is attached to sin and misery, Krishna alone is my refuge.
10. With all his omnipotence, he is the one who accomplishes everything, and is the savior of all those who take refuge in him. Therefore, I proclaim that Lord Krishna alone is my refuge.
11. Thus, this śrī Krishnāśraya stōtram, composed by Shri Vallabhacharya, is dedicated to Lord Krishna, and whoever recites it in the presence of Lord Krishna shall find refuge in him.
