बाल समय रवि भक्षी लियो तब,
तीनहुं लोक भयो अंधियारों I
ताहि सों त्रास भयो जग को,
यह संकट काहु सों जात  न टारो I
देवन आनि करी बिनती तब,
छाड़ी दियो रवि कष्ट निवारो I
को नहीं जानत है जग में कपि,
संकटमोचन नाम तिहारो I को - १
बालि की त्रास कपीस बसैं गिरि,
जात महाप्रभु पंथ निहारो I
चौंकि महामुनि साप दियो तब ,
चाहिए कौन बिचार बिचारो I
कैद्विज रूप लिवाय महाप्रभु,
सो तुम दास के सोक निवारो I  को - २

When you were a child, you swallowed the sun, plunging the three worlds into darkness. The worlds were in terror and no one could remove this distress.

The gods came and entreated you and then you released the sun and ended the suffering. Who in this world doesn't know, O Lord, that your name is Sankat Mochan, the destroyer of suffering?

From fear of Bali, king of the monkeys, Sugriva lived on a mountain. Sugriva knew that Bali could not come to that mountain because of the Muni’s curse, yet he still lived in fear. Who else but you could find a solution to this?

Seeing Sri Ram coming on the road, you took the form of a Brahmin and brought the Lord to Sugriva, relieving that servant’s suffering. Who in this world doesn't know, O Lord, that your name is Sankat Mochan, the destroyer of suffering?
