Balavan Vairagi Thakura lyrics

balavān vairāgī ṭhākur, kintu gṛhīr madhye bāhādur ābār kapni pore’, mālā dhore’, bahena sevā-dāsīr dhūr

balavan vairagi thakur, kintu grhir madhye bahadur abar kapni pore’, mala dhore’, bahena seva-dasir dhur

बलवान वैरागी ठाकुर्, किन्तु गृहीर मध्ये बाहादुर आबार कप्नि पोरेऽ, माला धोरेऽ, बहेन सेवादासीर धूर

You call yourself a very great and venerable renunciant, but factually you are even more of a sense-gratifier than those who are still householders. Furthermore, you wear a loincloth for show, and carry tulasi beads in your hand, but like a beast of burden, you bear the load of trying to seduce various women into rendering your own service as seva-dasis.

acyuta-gotra-abhimāne, bhikṣā korena sarva-sthāne, ṭākā-payasā gaṇi’ dhyāne dhāraṇā pracur kori’ cuṭkī bhikṣā, korena śikṣā, vaṇig-vṛtti piṇḍīśūr

acyuta-gotra-abhimane, bhiksa korena sarva-sthane, taka-payasa gani’ dhyane dharana pracur kori’ cutki bhiksa, korena siksa, vanig-vrtti pindisur

अच्युतगोत्रअभिमाने, भिक्षा कोरेन सर्वस्थाने, टाकापयसा गणिऽ ध्याने धारणा प्रचुर कोरिऽ चुट्की भिक्षा, कोरेन शिक्षा, वणिग्वृत्ति पिण्डीशूर

You beg alms everywhere you go, proudly advertising yourself as belonging to the disciplic lineage of the infallible Lord Krsna (acyuta-gotra) -- but in your show of deep meditation yoou simply concentrate on repeatedly calculating the total amount of your acquired rupees and milk. You are expert at begging on behalf of your belly, and you make a hoax of giving spiritual instructions to others, ultimately exhibiting the behavior of a businessman. You are a voracious glutton, accustomed to consuming huge quantities of food.

bole tā’re bāul-cāṅda, eṭā tomār galār phāṅda, jīver ei aparādha śīghra koro dūr yaji’ gṛhīr dharma, su-svadharma, śuddha koro antaḥpur

bole ta’re baul-canda, eta tomar galar phanda, jiver ei aparadha sighra koro dur yaji’ grhir dharma, su-svadharma, suddha koro antahpur

बोले ताऽरे बाउल्चाङ्द, एटा तोमार गलार फाङ्द, जीवेर एइ अपराध शीघ्र कोरो दूर यजिऽ गृहीर धर्म, सुस्वधर्म, शुद्ध कोरो अन्तःपुर

Unto those of such nature, Cand Baul advises -- this is the noose about your neck. Quiickly cast afar these offenses unto other souls. Worship the Lord in the honest role of a householder, executing your proper occupational duty according to your own ability, and thus purify yourself internally.

nyāsī-māna-āśā tyaji’, dīna-bhāve kṛṣṇa bhaji’, svabhāva-gata dharma yaji’, nāś’ doṣāṅkur; tabe kṛṣṇa pā’be, duḥkha jā’be ha’be tumi su-catur

nyasi-mana-asa tyaji’, dina-bhave krsna bhaji’, svabhava-gata dharma yaji’, nas’ dosankur; tabe krsna pa’be, duhkha ja’be ha’be tumi su-catur

न्यासीमानआशा त्यजिऽ, दीनभावे कृष्ण भजिऽ, स्वभावगत धर्म यजिऽ, नाश्ऽ दोषाङ्कुर्; तबे कृष्ण पाऽबे, दुःख जाऽबे हऽबे तुमि सुचतुर

Giving up your desire for being honored as a sannyasi, just worship Krsna in a humble state of mind. By performing your religious occupational duties according to your own natural propensity, the seedlings of your vices will be destroyed. Then you will attain Krsna, your unhappiness will go away, and you will become very intelligent.
