śrī-nārasiṁhe ca—
tvāṁ prapanno’smi śaraṇaṁ deva-deva janārdana |
iti yaḥ śaraṇaṁ prāptas taṁ kleśād uddharāmy aham ||quoted · śrī-nārasiṁhe ca
The verse — translated
Whoever has come for refuge with the words “O God of gods, O Janārdana, I have surrendered to you as my refuge” — him I myself lift out of suffering.
'हे देवदेव जनार्दन! मैं आपकी शरण में आया हूँ' — इस प्रकार जो शरण में आ जाता है, उसका मैं क्लेश से उद्धार करता हूँ।
The verse — line by line
L1citation
tvāṁ prapanno’smi śaraṇaṁ deva-deva janārdana |
tvāmyou — the one I turn to acc. sg., object of prapannaḥआपको (आपकी)
prapannaḥ asmiI have come, I have surrendered — I have thrown myself upon you prapannaḥ (past pass. part.) + asmiमैं शरण में आ गया हूँ
śaraṇamas my refuge — both my protector and my shelter acc.; the double-sense word the commentators unpackशरण (रूप में)
deva-devaO God of gods voc.हे देवों के देव
janārdanaO Janārdana (Kṛṣṇa, the one people appeal to) voc.हे जनार्दन
deva-deva janārdana — O God of gods, O Janārdana; tvām — you; śaraṇam — as my refuge; prapannaḥ asmi — I have surrendered.
tvām — आपको; prapannaḥ asmi — मैं शरण में आ गया हूँ; śaraṇam — शरण (रूप में); deva-deva — हे देवों के देव; janārdana — हे जनार्दन।
O God of gods, O Janārdana, I have surrendered to you as my refuge. The word 'refuge' (śaraṇa) is the hinge here: it carries both senses the commentators will draw out — you as my protector and you as the shelter I run to.
हे देवों के देव, हे जनार्दन! मैं आपकी शरण में आ गया हूँ।
Why cited: The devotee's own words of surrender, which the ācāryas then decode phrase by phrase.
क्यों उद्धृत: भक्त के अपने शरणागति-वचन, जिन्हें आचार्य आगे एक-एक पद खोलकर व्याख्या करते हैं।

इस प्रकार जो मेरी शरण में आ जाता है, उसका मैं स्वयं क्लेश से उद्धार करता हूँ।
Why cited: The Lord's answering promise — that anyone who takes such refuge is personally delivered from affliction.
क्यों उद्धृत: भगवान का प्रत्युत्तर-वचन — जो ऐसी शरण ग्रहण करता है, उसका वे स्वयं क्लेश से उद्धार करते हैं।

Jīva Gosvāmī
s1gloss
śaraṇaṁ prapanno’smi rakṣitṛtvena vṛtavān asmi |
śaraṇam prapannaḥ asmi'I have gone for refuge' — the phrase from the verse being explained the lemma taken up from L1"शरणं प्रपन्नोऽस्मि" — मूल का यह पद, जिसे अब खोला जा रहा है
rakṣitṛtvenabecause I take you as protector — in your capacity as the one who guards instr. of capacity/meansरक्षक के रूप में (रक्षा करने वाले के नाते)
vṛtavān asmiI have chosen you, I have picked you out vṛtavān (past act. part. of vṛ 'to choose') + asmiमैंने वरण किया है (चुन लिया है)
śaraṇam prapannaḥ asmi — 'I have gone for refuge' means: rakṣitṛtvena — in the role of protector; vṛtavān asmi — I have chosen you.
śaraṇam prapannaḥ asmi — "शरणं प्रपन्नोऽस्मि"; rakṣitṛtvena — रक्षक के रूप में; vṛtavān asmi — मैंने वरण किया है।
Jīva takes the first sense of śaraṇa. 'I have gone for refuge' means: I have chosen you as my protector. The instrumental rakṣitṛtvena marks the capacity — it is you-as-guardian that I have selected.
"शरणं प्रपन्नोऽस्मि" का अर्थ है — मैंने आपको रक्षक के रूप में वरण किया है।
śaraṇa: home sense in ordinary usage is either the person who shelters (protector) or the place one shelters in (refuge). Here Jīva reads sense one — the protector.
शरण शब्द का सामान्य प्रयोग में दो अर्थ होते हैं — या तो वह व्यक्ति जो रक्षा करे (रक्षक), या वह स्थान जहाँ शरण ली जाए (आश्रय)। यहाँ जीव पहला अर्थ लेते हैं — रक्षक।
s2gloss
śaraṇaṁ tad āśrayaṁ prāptaḥ |
śaraṇam'refuge' — the same word, now read the second way lemma, second occurrence in the verse (yaḥ śaraṇaṁ prāptaḥ)शरण (शब्द, जो श्लोक में दूसरी बार आया है)
tat āśrayammeans that shelter, that place to take cover in gloss-word supplied for śaraṇamवह आश्रय (जिसका सहारा लिया जाए)
prāptaḥwhich I have reached, which I have arrived at past pass. part., echoing prāptaḥ in L2को प्राप्त हुआ
śaraṇam — 'refuge' means: tat āśrayam — that shelter; prāptaḥ — which I have reached.
śaraṇam — शरण; tat āśrayam — वह आश्रय; prāptaḥ — प्राप्त हुआ।
Now the second sense. Here śaraṇa means the shelter itself — the place of cover that I have reached. So the one word has been read two ways across its two occurrences: first as protector, now as the refuge one arrives at.
यहाँ "शरण" का अर्थ है वह आश्रय — जिसे (भक्त) प्राप्त हुआ।
āśraya: literally a resting-place or support one leans on. Jīva uses it to bring out śaraṇa's second sense — not the guardian but the shelter itself.
आश्रय का शाब्दिक अर्थ है विश्रामस्थल या वह सहारा जिस पर टेक ली जाए। जीव इससे शरण का दूसरा अर्थ उभारते हैं — रक्षक नहीं, बल्कि आश्रय स्वयं।
s3conclusion
śaraṇa-śabdena hi tad-dvayam apy ucyate iti ||
śaraṇa-śabdenaby the word 'śaraṇa' — this single term instr., the word as the means of expression"शरण" शब्द के द्वारा
hifor, since — giving the reason the two glosses stand together explanatory particleक्योंकि
tat-dvayam apiboth of those two senses as well — protector and shelter alike api 'as well / both'; tad-dvayam = the pair just givenवे दोनों ही (अभी बताए गए दोनों अर्थ)
ucyateis meant, is expressed 3rd sg. pass.कहे जाते हैं
iti— so ends the explanation closing quotativeऐसा (समझना चाहिए)
hi — for; śaraṇa-śabdena — by the word 'śaraṇa'; tat-dvayam api — both of those senses; ucyate — are meant; iti — so it stands.
śaraṇa-śabdena — शरण-शब्द के द्वारा; hi — क्योंकि; tat-dvayam api — वे दोनों ही; ucyate — कहे जाते हैं; iti — ऐसा।
This ties it together. The single word śaraṇa carries both senses at once — protector and shelter. That is why Jīva could gloss it one way at its first use and the other way at its second: the word itself holds both. The 'for' (hi) tells us this is the reason the two readings are legitimate, not a contradiction.
क्योंकि "शरण" शब्द से वे दोनों ही अर्थ (रक्षक और आश्रय) कहे जाते हैं।
