  1. Verse 1

    keśava! tuwā jagata vicitra karama-vipāke, bhava-vana bhrama-i, pekhaluṅ raṅga bahu citra

    kesava! tuwa jagata vicitra karama-vipake, bhava-vana bhrama-i, pekhalun ranga bahu citra

    केशव! तुwआ जगत विचित्र करमविपाके, भववन भ्रमै, पेखलुङ रङ्ग बहु चित्र

    This material creation of Yours, O Kesava, is most strange. I have roamed throughout the forest of this universe in consequence of my selfish acts, and I have beheld many strange and curious sights.

  2. Verse 2

    tuwā pada-vismṛti, ā-mara jantranā, kleśa-dahane dohi’ jāi kapila, patañjali, gautama, kanabhojī, jaimini, bauddha āowe dhāi’

    tuwa pada-vismrti, a-mara jantrana, klesa-dahane dohi’ jai kapila, patanjali, gautama, kanabhoji, jaimini, bauddha aowe dhai’

    तुwआ पदविस्मृति, आमर जन्त्रना, क्लेशदहने दोहिऽ जाइ कपिल, पतञ्जलि, गौतम, कनभोजी, जैमिनि, बौद्ध आओwए धाइऽ

    Forgetfulness of Your lotus feet has brought on anguish and grief. As I burn in this fire of misery, my would-be saviors , Kapila, Gautama, Kanada, Jaimini, and Buddha , come running to my aid.

  3. Verse 3

    tab koi nija-mate, bhukti, mukti yācato, pāta-i nānā-vidha phāṅd so-sabu—vañcaka, tuwā bhakti bahir-mukha, ghaṭāowe viṣama paramād

    tab koi nija-mate, bhukti, mukti yacato, pata-i nana-vidha phand so-sabu—vancaka, tuwa bhakti bahir-mukha, ghataowe visama paramad

    तब कोइ निजमते, भुक्ति, मुक्ति याचतो, पातै नानाविध फाङ्द सोसबु—वञ्चक, तुwआ भक्ति बहिर्मुख, घटाओwए विषम परमाद

    Each expounds his particular view, dangling various pleasures and liberation as bait in their philosophical traps. They are all cheaters, averse to Your devotional service and thus fatally dangerous.

  4. Verse 4

    vaimukha-vañcane, bhaṭa so-sabu, niramilo vividha pasār danḍavat dūrato, bhakativinoda bhelo, bhakata-caraṇa kori’ sār

    vaimukha-vancane, bhata so-sabu, niramilo vividha pasar dandavat durato, bhakativinoda bhelo, bhakata-carana kori’ sar

    वैमुखवञ्चने, भट सोसबु, निरमिलो विविध पसार दन्डवत दूरतो, भकतिविनोद भेलो, भकतचरण कोरिऽ सार

    They are magnates of karma, jnana, and yoga who specialize in opinions and proofs for cheating the materially inclined. Bhaktivinoda, considering refuge at the feet of the Vaisnavas as essential, pays his respects to these cheating philosophers from afar.

About this song

While Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura mentioned Lord Buddha in this song, Lord Buddha is an incarnation of Krsna, as described by the Srimad Bhagavatam. However, the philosophy of voidism by Lord Buddha was presented to steer the brahmanas away from the Vedas, as unauthorized animal sacrifices were being performed under the name of the Vedas. For this circumstantial purpose, Vaisnava worship Lord Buddha, but do not follow the teachings as presented by that incarnation.
