अम्बाया रामजामदग्न्यशरणगमनम्
Ambā Seeks Refuge with Rāma Jāmadagnya
अम्बोवाच भगवउ्शरणं त्वाद्य प्रपन्नास्मि महाव्रतम् । शोकपड्कार्णवान्मग्नां घोरादुद्धर मां विभो,अम्बा बोली--भगवन्! आप महान् व्रतधारी हैं। आज मैं आपकी शरणमें आयी हूँ। प्रभो! इस भयंकर शोकसागरमें डूबनेसे मुझे बचाइये
Ambovāca: bhagavan śaraṇaṁ tvādya prapannāsmi mahāvratam | śoka-ṣaṭkārṇavān magnāṁ ghorād uddhara māṁ vibho ||
અંબા બોલી—ભગવન્! તમે મહાવ્રતધારી છો. આજે હું તમારી શરણમાં આવી છું. પ્રભો! આ ઘોર શોકસાગરમાં ડૂબતી મને ઉદ્ધારો.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights śaraṇāgati (taking refuge): when overwhelmed by suffering, one turns to a morally and spiritually steadfast protector (mahāvrata) and seeks deliverance from despair, emphasizing humility, dependence on higher guidance, and the ethical ideal of compassionate rescue.
Ambā, afflicted by intense sorrow, addresses a revered, powerful figure as “Bhagavān” and “Vibhu,” declaring her surrender and pleading to be rescued from a terrifying ‘ocean of grief.’ The moment frames her crisis as a supplication for protection and intervention.
