महान्तं विश्वासं तव चरणपङ्केरुहयुगे
निधायान्यनैवाश्रितमिह मया दैवतमुमे।
तथापि त्वच्चेतो यदि मयि न जायेत सदयं
निरालम्बो लम्बोदरजननि कं यामि शरणम्॥

Oh Goddess Uma, I have so much confidence and faith 
in your lotus feet that I have not thought it fit to to seek 
refuge in any other god.

Inspite of this if you do not show compassion towards me, 
where else and to whom else can I go for protection 
O Mother of Ganapati Uma,the consort of Shiva and 
the mother of Ganapati, the remover of all obstacles, 
is addressed directly for giving protection and solace to
the devotee who has surrendered at her lotus feet to the 
exclusion of every other deity.

The principle of Sharanagati शरणागति requires
absolute surrender to God's Will, born out of deep faith 
and devotion and the devotee not only seeks solace 
but immense hope that the prayers will be heard out of 
love and compassion.

God will lift him up who has fallen at His feet. 
Single minded and steadfast devotion and immense
faith are required on the part of the devotee.
