Hari, I Have Heard You Called Purifier of the Fallen

मैं हरि पतित-पावन सुने। मैं पतित तुम पतित-पावन दोउ बानक बने॥ १॥ ब्याध गनिका गज अजामिल साखि निगमनि भने। और अधम अनेक तारे जात कापै गने॥ २॥ जानि नाम अजानि लीन्हें नरक सुरपुर मने। दासतुलसी सरन आयो, राखिये आपने॥ ३॥

Hari, I have heard you called purifier of the fallen. I am fallen and you purify the fallen: the two roles fit together. (1) Scripture testifies to the hunter, courtesan, elephant, and Ajamila. You carried across countless other degraded ones—who could count them? (2) Those who took the Name knowingly or unknowingly were forbidden both hell and heaven. Servant Tulsi has come for refuge; preserve him as your own. (3)
