- Verse 1
keno ār koro dveṣa, videśi-jana-bhajane bhajanera liṅga nānā, nānā deśe nānā jane
keno ar koro dvesa, videsi-jana-bhajane bhajanera linga nana, nana dese nana jane
केनो आर कोरो द्वेष, विदेशिजनभजने भजनेर लिङ्ग नाना, नाना देशे नाना जने
Why do you continue to hate the way the Lord is worshiped by people of other lands? There exist a number of authentic ways to worship God, according to the customs of various peoples living in different countries.
- Verse 2
keho mukta-kacche bhaje, keho hāṭu gāḍi’ pūje keho vā nayana mudi’ thāke brahma-ārādhāne
keho mukta-kacche bhaje, keho hatu gadi’ puje keho va nayana mudi’ thake brahma-aradhane
केहो मुक्तकच्छे भजे, केहो हाटु गाडिऽ पूजे केहो वा नयन मुदिऽ थाके ब्रह्मआराधाने
Some people worship the Lord in an untidy or careless manner; some worship Him by bending down on their knees; still others close their eyes while worshiping His impersonal Brahman aspect.
- Verse 3
keho yogāsane pūje, keho saṅkīrtane maje sakale bhajiche sei eka-mātra kṛṣṇa-dhane
keho yogasane puje, keho sankirtane maje sakale bhajiche sei eka-matra krsna-dhane
केहो योगासने पूजे, केहो सङ्कीर्तने मजे सकले भजिछे सेइ एकमात्र कृष्णधने
Some people worship Him by assuming various yoga postures, and some immerse themselves in the congregational chanting of the Lord's holy names; but all of them worship that one and only supreme treasure-Lord Sri Krsna.
- Verse 4
ataeva bhrātṛ-bhāve, thāko sabe su-sadbhāve hari-bhakti sādho sadā, e jīvane vā maraṇe
ataeva bhratr-bhave, thako sabe su-sadbhave hari-bhakti sadho sada, e jivane va marane
अतएव भ्रातृभावे, थाको सबे सुसद्भावे हरिभक्ति साधो सदा, ए जीवने वा मरणे
Therefore you should all reflect a mood of brotherhood and live together in transcendental friendship. Always practice devotional service to Lord Hari, whether in situations of life or death.
