Translation
With a fearful heart, Durvāsā Muni went here and there seeking shelter, but when he could find no shelter, he finally approached Lord Brahmā and said, “O my lord, O Lord Brahmā, kindly protect me from the blazing Sudarśana cakra sent by the Supreme Personality of Godhead.”
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
With a fearful heart, without protection, Durvāsā, seeking shelter, finally approached Brahmā and said, "O my lord, O Brahmā! Protect me from the blazing Sudarśana cakra of the Lord."
Durvāsā was seeking shelter (araṇam).
