śraddhā-debi nāma jāra duiti swabhāba tāra bidhi-mūla ruci-mūla bhede śāstrera śāsana jabe śraddhāra udoya ho'be baidhī śraddhā tāre bole bede
sraddha-debi nama jara duiti swabhaba tara bidhi-mula ruci-mula bhede sastrera sasana jabe sraddhara udoya ho'be baidhi sraddha tare bole bede
श्रद्धादेबि नाम जार दुइति स्wअभाब तार बिधिमूल रुचिमूल भेदे शास्त्रेर शासन जबे श्रद्धार उदोय होऽबे बैधी श्रद्धा तारे बोले बेदे
The presiding deity of devotional faith called Sraddha Devi, and she has two principle characteristics... one is executed according to rules, and the other according to tastes. First of all, when devotional faith arises due to fear of the rules and regulations given in the revealed scriptures, then that type of faith is known throughout the Vedas as "vaidhi sraddha", or faith situated in regulation.
- Verse 2
braja-bāsī sebe kṛṣṇe sei śuddha-sebā dṛṣṭe jabe hoya śraddhāra udoya lobhamoyī śraddhā satī rāgānugā śuddhā mati bahu bhāgye sādhaka labhoya
braja-basi sebe krsne sei suddha-seba drste jabe hoya sraddhara udoya lobhamoyi sraddha sati raganuga suddha mati bahu bhagye sadhaka labhoya
ब्रजबासी सेबे कृष्णे सेइ शुद्धसेबा दृष्टे जबे होय श्रद्धार उदोय लोभमोयी श्रद्धा सती रागानुगा शुद्धा मति बहु भाग्ये साधक लभोय
Secondly, sometimes one's faith flourishes in a similar way as that of the residents of Vraja, who all render service to Krsna with a purely spontaneous service attitude. Faith that concentrates on Krsna exclusively with such intense greed to satisfy Him is the chastest form of faith. Such a pure, spontaneous service attitude is called "raganuga sraddha", and a practicing devotee who worships in this way attains the most auspicious spiritual position.
- Verse 3
śraddhā-bhede bhakti-bhede gāitecheche catur-beda baidhī rāgānugā bhakti dwoya sādhana-samoye jaiche siddhi-kāle prāpti taiche ei-rūpa bhakti-śāstre koya
sraddha-bhede bhakti-bhede gaitecheche catur-beda baidhi raganuga bhakti dwoya sadhana-samoye jaiche siddhi-kale prapti taiche ei-rupa bhakti-sastre koya
श्रद्धाभेदे भक्तिभेदे गाइतेछेछे चतुर्बेद बैधी रागानुगा भक्ति द्wओय साधनसमोये जैछे सिद्धिकाले प्राप्ति तैछे एइरूप भक्तिशास्त्रे कोय
Due to different types of faith, these different divisions of devotional service exist. Thus the four Vedas sing of these two types of devotion... regulative service and spontaneous service. According to these different types of sadhana, one accordingly attains different perfections, which are all mentioned comprehensively in the revealed scriptures of devotional service.
- Verse 4
baidhī bhakti dhīra gati rāgānugā tībra ati ati śīghra rasābasthā pāya rāga-bartma-su-sādhane ruci hoya jāra mane rūpānuga hoite sei dhāya
baidhi bhakti dhira gati raganuga tibra ati ati sighra rasabastha paya raga-bartma-su-sadhane ruci hoya jara mane rupanuga hoite sei dhaya
बैधी भक्ति धीर गति रागानुगा तीब्र अति अति शीघ्र रसाबस्था पाय रागबर्त्मसुसाधने रुचि होय जार मने रूपानुग होइते सेइ धाय
Vaidhi bhakti progresses very slowly toward the goal, but raganuga bhakti moves extremely fast, and enables one to be quickly situated in the tasty transcendental mellows. By following the path of spontaneous devotional service, real taste awakens in one's mind, and he runs and chases after that current which flows from the lotus feet of Srila Rupa Gosvami.
