- Verse 1
mana, tumi parile ki char? nabadvipe patha kori', nyaya-ratna nama dhori', bheker kac kaci koile sar
mana, tumi parile ki char? nabadvipe patha kori', nyaya-ratna nama dhori', bheker kac kaci koile sar
मन, तुमि परिले कि छर्? नबद्विपे पथ कोरिऽ, न्ययरत्न नम धोरिऽ, भेकेर कच कचि कोइले सर
My dear mind, what kind of contemptible rubbish have you fallen into now? Studying intensely in the schools of Navadvipa, you have been awarded the distinguished title of "nyaya-ratna" (a jewel of a logician). Then, disguised as a Vaisnava, you indulge in long, dull arguments based on logic and reasoning, considering such logic to be your best object of pursuit. However, such time-wasting arguments are exactly like the meaningless croaking of a small frog in the wilderness. In other words, such a sound is simply an unnecessary disturbance to the ears.
- Verse 2
dravyadi padartha-jnana, chaladi nigraha-sthana, samavaya korile bicar tarker carama phala, bhoyankara halahala, nahi bicarile durnibar
dravyadi padartha-jnana, chaladi nigraha-sthana, samavaya korile bicar tarker carama phala, bhoyankara halahala, nahi bicarile durnibar
द्रव्यदि पदर्थज्नन, छलदि निग्रहस्थन, समवय कोरिले बिचर तर्केर चरम फल, भोयन्कर हलहल, नहि बिचरिले दुर्निबर
To support your deceptive hoax and to get a firm footing on a bogus intellectual platform for oppressing and defeating others, you deliberate on an aggregate of materialistic subjects such as knowledge of intrinsic word meanings in relation to all the things which you can perceive within this universe. However, the ultimate result of all your logical arguments and your labeling of material objections simply like a dreadful poison, and you never considered that this poisonous influence is extremely difficult to check.
- Verse 3
hrdoy kathina ho'lo, bhakti-bija na barilo. kise ho'be bhava-sindhu par? anumile je isvar, se kulala-cakradhar, sadhana kemone ho'be ta'r?
hrdoy kathina ho'lo, bhakti-bija na barilo. kise ho'be bhava-sindhu par? anumile je isvar, se kulala-cakradhar, sadhana kemone ho'be ta'r?
ह्र्दोय कथिन होऽलो, भक्तिबिज न बरिलो. किसे होऽबे भवसिन्धु पर्? अनुमिले जे इस्वर्, से कुललचक्रधर्, सधन केमोने होऽबे तऽर्?
Just see, dear mind, your heart has indeed become as hard as a rock, and the seed of the creeper of devotion cannot possibly grow in such a barren place. So then how will you cross over this vast ocean of material existence? In this position you can only guess about the nature of the Supreme Lord, just as a clay pot maker will observe the vast creation. When the simple-minded potter guesses about the Supreme, he thinks that the entire material creation is just like a larger version of his own simple potter's wheel, and that the Lord is the potter. In other words, by seeing a clay pot, you can guess that there must have been a potter to make it in the first place. This philosophy is very crude and contains no scope for developing love for the Supreme Lord.
- Verse 4
sahaja-samadhi tyaji', anumiti mana bhaji, tarka-nistha hrdoy tomar se hrdoye krsna-dhana, nahi pana sukhasana, aho, dhik sei tarka char
sahaja-samadhi tyaji', anumiti mana bhaji, tarka-nistha hrdoy tomar se hrdoye krsna-dhana, nahi pana sukhasana, aho, dhik sei tarka char
सहजसमधि त्यजिऽ, अनुमिति मन भजि, तर्कनिस्थ ह्र्दोय तोमर से ह्र्दोये क्र्स्नधन, नहि पन सुखसन, अहो, धिक सेइ तर्क छर
Renouncing your own natural samadhi, and practically worshiping that which you can prove by simply guessing (without actual realization), Your heart has become devoutly attached to arguing about such useless logic. Oh, to hell with all this rubbish logic! It has not made a comfortable seat in my heart for Lord Krsna to sit on.
- Verse 5
anyaya nyayer mata, dura koro abirata, bhajo krsna-candra saratsar
anyaya nyayer mata, dura koro abirata, bhajo krsna-candra saratsar
अन्यय न्ययेर मत, दुर कोरो अबिरत, भजो क्र्स्नचन्द्र सरत्सर
My dear mind, I advice you to constantly kick out such an unreasonable argumentative mentality, and just worship the moon-like Krsna-candra, the Topmost Truth.
