O Lord Krishna! I believe that the worship of Thy feet is the most fear expelling and the only refuge for those mortals who are suffering because of being deeply bound by the false material notions and wrong acceptance of ephemeral values as true. By devotion to Thee all fear is expelled, in every way, the methods of which are taught by Thee (in Bhagvad Geeta etc.). O Lord of Lords! O Soul of all Beings! A person who is steady in Thy devotion will not slip or falter even a wee bit even if he runs on the path of delusion with his eyes closed.

ಭೀತಿಃ-ನಾಮ - fear indeed; ದ್ವಿತೀಯಾತ್-ಭವತಿ ನನು - from a second (entity) arises definitely; ಮನಃ- ಕಲ್ಪಿತಂ ಚ ದ್ವಿತೀಯಂ - and mind's projection is this second; ತೇನ-ಐಕ್ಯ-ಅಭ್ಯಾಸ-ಶೀಲಃ - therefore, on oneness practicing; ಹೃದಯಮ್-ಇಹ ಯಥಾ-ಶಕ್ತಿ - my mind here, with effort; ಬುದ್ಧ್ಯಾ ನಿರುನ್ಧ್ಯಾಮ್ - and intelligence will control; ಮಾಯಾ-ವಿದ್ಧೇ ತು - by Maaya's infliction indeed; ತಸ್ಮಿನ್ ಪುನಃ-ಅಪಿ - in the intellect again also; ನ ತಥಾ ಭಾತಿ - does not shine (as before); ಮಾಯಾ-ಅಧಿನಾಥಂ ತಂ ತ್ವಾಮ್ - Maaya's Master, therefore, Thee; ಭಕ್ತ್ಯಾ ಮಹತ್ಯಾ - with great Bhakti; ಸತತಮ್-ಅನುಭಜನ್-ಈಶ - constantly worshipping O Lord!; ಭೀತಿಂ ವಿಜಹ್ಯಾಮ್ - fear (I) will overcome;
Translation
The feeling of fear arises from the consciousness of a second entity-different from oneself. This consciousness of a second entity is a projection of the mind.

But when this discriminative intelligence is overpowered and inflicted by Maaya, the consciousness of oneness does not reveal itself again. Therefore, O Lord! by constantly worshipping Thee with great Bhakti, I will overcome all fear.
