In plain words
Even Brahmā, born of the lotus, has had to swim hard in this sea of bewilderment. When I think where I stand in it, my fear is very great. Before it overtakes me, let me bow at Your feet. Salutation to Nārāyaṇa.
Word for word
Even lotus-born Brahmā has had to swim, alas, earnestly; thinking of my place in the ocean of delusion, my great fear is very much; before it comes upon us, let me bow at Your feet. Salutation to Nārāyaṇa.
