Davanala Sama Samsara lyrics

dāvānala-sama saṁsāra-dahane, dagdha jīva-kula uddhāra kāraṇe koruṇā-vārida kṛpāvāri-dāne, (vandi) guṇa-sindhu gurura caraṇa-kamala

davanala-sama samsara-dahane, dagdha jiva-kula uddhara karane koruna-varida krpavari-dane, (vandi) guna-sindhu gurura carana-kamala

दावानलसम संसारदहने, दग्ध जीवकुल उद्धार कारणे कोरुणावारिद कृपावारिदाने, (वन्दि) गुणसिन्धु गुरुर चरणकमल

The spiritual master is receiving benediction from the ocean of mercy. Just as a cloud pours water on a forest fire to extinguish it, so the spiritual master delivers the materially afflicted world by extinguishing the blazing fire of material existence. I bow to the lotus feet of such a spiritual master, who is an ocean of auspicious qualities.

Chanting the holy name, dancing in ecstasy, singing, and playing musical instruments, the spiritual master is always gladdened by the sankirtana movement of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Because he is relishing the mellows of pure devotion within his mind, sometimes his hair stands on end, he feels quivering in his body, and tears flow from his eyes like waves. I bow to the lotus feet of such a spiritual master.

sadā rata jini vigraha-sevane, śṛṅgārādi āra mandira-mārjane korena niyukta anugata-jane‚ vandi sei gurura caraṇa-kamala

sada rata jini vigraha-sevane, srngaradi ara mandira-marjane korena niyukta anugata-jane‚ vandi sei gurura carana-kamala

The spiritual master is always engaged in the temple worship of Sri Sri Radha and Krsna. He also engages his disciples in such worship. They dress the Deities in beautiful clothes and ornaments, clean Their temple, and perform other similar worship of the Lord. I bow to the lotus feet of such a spiritual master.

The spiritual master is always offering Krsna four kinds of delicious food [analyzed as that which is licked, chewed, drunk, and sucked]. When the spiritual master sees that the devotees are satisfied by eating bhagavat-prasada, he is satisfied. I bow to the lotus feet of such a spiritual master.

śrī-rādhā-mādhava-nāma-rūpa-guṇe, ananta-mādhurya-līlā-āsvādane lubdha-citta jini hana pratikṣane, vandi sei gurura caraṇa-kamala

The spiritual master is always eager to hear and chant about the unlimited conjugal pastimes of Radhika and Madhava, and Their qualities, names, and forms. The spiritual master aspires to relish these at every moment. I bow to the lotus feet of such a spiritual master.

The spiritual master is very dear, because he is expert in assisting the gopis, who at different times make different tasteful arrangements for the perfection of Radha and Krsna's conjugal loving affairs within the groves of Vrndavana. I offer my most humble obeisances at the feet of such a spiritual master.

The spiritual master is to be honored as much as the Supreme Lord, because he is the most confidential servitor of the Lord. This is acknowledged in all revealed scriptures and followed by all authorities. Therefore I bow to the lotus feet of such a spiritual master, who is a bona fide representative of Sri Hari [Krsna].

By the mercy of the spiritual master one receives the benediction of Krsna. Without the grace of the spiritual master, one cannot make any advancement. Therefore, O brothers, I should always remember and praise the spiritual master. At least three times a day I should offer my respectful obeisances at the feet of my spiritual master.
