English translation:

(82-084) “That is why I have accepted Your lotus feet as my life and soul. I have offered my mind, life, and intelligence to You. Please make me Your maidservant by accepting me as Your wife. Do not let me become the object of Śiśupāla’s enjoyment. O Lord, please accept me, because what is meant for the lion should not be taken by the jackal.

Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

The Śrīmad Bhāgavatam (10.52.39) states:

tan me bhavān khalu vṛtaḥ patir aṅga jāyām ātmārpitaś ca bhavato ‘tra vibho vidhehi mā vīra-bhāgam abhimarśatu caidya ārād gomāyu-van mṛga-pater balim ambujākṣa

“Therefore, my dear Lord, I have chosen You as my husband, and I surrender myself to You. Please come swiftly, O almighty one, and make me Your wife. My dear lotus-eyed Lord, let Śiśupāla never touch the hero’s portion like a jackal stealing the property of a lion.”
