'sevÄ' lÄgi' koá¹­i 'aparÄdha' nÄhi gaṇi
sva-nimitta 'aparÄdhÄbhÄse' bhaya mÄni"

 sevÄ lÄgi' - for the matter of service; koá¹­i aparÄdha - ten million offenses; nÄhi gaṇi - I do not care for; sva-nimitta - for my personal self; aparÄdha-ÄbhÄse - by a glimpse of an offense; bhaya mÄni - I am afraid.
