hari he jagatera bastu jata baddha saba swabhābata deśa kāla bastu simāśroya tumi prabhu sarbeśwara naha sīmā-bidhi-para bidhi saba kampe taba bhoya
hari he jagatera bastu jata baddha saba swabhabata desa kala bastu simasroya tumi prabhu sarbeswara naha sima-bidhi-para bidhi saba kampe taba bhoya
हरि हे जगतेर बस्तु जत बद्ध सब स्wअभाबत देश काल बस्तु सिमाश्रोय तुमि प्रभु सर्बेश्wअर नह सीमाबिधिपर बिधि सब कम्पे तब भोय
Oh my dear Lord Hari! All the things contained within this universe are by nature conditioned and bound up by the limits of material time, place and circumstances. But You, dear Lord, are not subordinate to any such limitation or even to scriptural injunctions. Indeed, all rules and regulations are trembling in fear of Your Lordship.
- Verse 2
sama bā adhika taba swabhābataḥ asambhāba bidhi laṅghi' taba abasthāna swatantra swabhāba dharo āpane gopana koro māyā-bale kori' adhiṣṭhāna
sama ba adhika taba swabhabatah asambhaba bidhi langhi' taba abasthana swatantra swabhaba dharo apane gopana koro maya-bale kori' adhisthana
सम बा अधिक तब स्wअभाबतः असम्भाब बिधि लङ्घिऽ तब अबस्थान स्wअतन्त्र स्wअभाब धरो आपने गोपन कोरो मायाबले कोरिऽ अधिष्ठान
It is naturally impossible for any kind of law to be equal to, or surpass Your Lordship, for Your transcendental position naturally transgresses all rules and regulations. You possess the Supremely independent nature, and thus You reserve the right to conceal Yourself behind the powerful curtain of maya.
- Verse 3
tathāpi ananya-bhakta tomāre dekhite śakta sadā dekhe swarūpa tomāra e bhaktibinoda dina ananya bhajana hīna bhakta-pada-reṇu-mātra sāra
tathapi ananya-bhakta tomare dekhite sakta sada dekhe swarupa tomara e bhaktibinoda dina ananya bhajana hina bhakta-pada-renu-matra sara
तथापि अनन्यभक्त तोमारे देखिते शक्त सदा देखे स्wअरूप तोमार ए भक्तिबिनोद दिन अनन्य भजन हीन भक्तपदरेणुमात्र सार
Despite this covering screen of maya's illusions, my dear Lord, Your pure unalloyed devotees have the power to see You. Indeed, wherever they turn their eyes, they see Your original personal form there. However, this Bhaktivinoda is very fallen and is completely bereft of unalloyed devotional worship. But he has one hope... he has considered the dust of Your devotees' feet to be the sole essence of his life.
