O Leader of ascetics! I do not possess the wisdom [to narrate your infinite virtues].
Still, inspired by my devotion for you, I intend to [compose a hymn in your] praise.
It is well known that to protect the fawn, even a doe [puts her feet down and] faces a lion, forgetting its own strength. [Similarly, devotion is forcing me to face the great task of composing the hymn without assessing my own capacity].
