The lotus feet of our spiritual master are the only way by which we can attain pure devotional service. I bow to his lotus feet with great awe and reverence. By his grace one can cross the ocean of material suffering and obtain the mercy of Krsna.
- Verse 5
vaiṣṇava caraṇa reṇu, bhūṣaṇa koriyā tanu, yāhā hoite anubhava hoy mārjana hoy bhajana, sādhu saṅge anukṣaṇa, ajñāna avidyā parājaya
vaisnava carana renu, bhusana koriya tanu, yaha hoite anubhava hoy marjana hoy bhajana, sadhu sange anuksana, ajnana avidya parajaya
वैष्णव चरण रेणु, भूषण कोरिया तनु, याहा होइते अनुभव होय मार्जन होय भजन, साधु सङ्गे अनुक्षण, अज्ञान अविद्या पराजय
By making the dust of the Vaisnavas' feet the ornament of my body, ecstatic love comes. Washing the Vaisnavas' lotus feet is my method of worship. By always associating with the Vaisnavas, I shall overcome the darkness of ignorance.
- Verse 6
jaya sanātana rūpa, prema bhakti rasa kūpa yugala ujjvalamaya tanu yāhāra prasāde loka, pāsarilo sab śoka, prakaṭa kalapa taru janu
jaya sanatana rupa, prema bhakti rasa kupa yugala ujjvalamaya tanu yahara prasade loka, pasarilo sab soka, prakata kalapa taru janu
जय सनातन रूप, प्रेम भक्ति रस कूप युगल उज्ज्वलमय तनु याहार प्रसादे लोक, पासरिलो सब शोक, प्रकट कलप तरु जनु
O Srila Sanatana Gosvami and Srila Rupa Gosvami, who are two deep wells of the nectar of pure love, two personifications of the splendid nectar of the Divine Couple, and two desire trees by whose mercy the entire world is free from suffering, all glories to you!
- Verse 7
prema bhakti rīti yoto, nija granthe suvekata likhiyāchen dui mahāśaya yāhāra śravaṇa hoite, premānande bhāse cite, yugala madhura rasāśraya
prema bhakti riti yoto, nija granthe suvekata likhiyachen dui mahasaya yahara sravana hoite, premanande bhase cite, yugala madhura rasasraya
प्रेम भक्ति रीति योतो, निज ग्रन्थे सुवेकत लिखियाछेन दुइ महाशय याहार श्रवण होइते, प्रेमानन्दे भासे चिते, युगल मधुर रसाश्रय
In your books, you two great souls clearly described prema-bhakti. You are reservoirs of the sweet nectar of the Divine Couple. Hearing about you brings bliss to the heart. Their sweet mellows are my shelter.
- Verse 8
yugala kiśora prema, lakṣa bāṇa yeno hema heno dhana prakāśilo yārā jaya rūpa sanātana, deho more prema dhana se ratana more gole hārā
yugala kisora prema, laksa bana yeno hema heno dhana prakasilo yara jaya rupa sanatana, deho more prema dhana se ratana more gole hara
युगल किशोर प्रेम, लक्ष बाण येनो हेम हेनो धन प्रकाशिलो यारा जय रूप सनातन, देहो मोरे प्रेम धन से रतन मोरे गोले हारा
You are fabulously wealthy, possessing ecstatic love for the youthful Divine Couple, a love more precious than gold purified in ten thousand flames. O Rupa and Sanatana Gosvami, all glories to you! I beg you, please give me in charity some of these jewel necklaces.
- Verse 9
bhāgavata śāstra marma, nava vidhā bhakti dharma, sadāi koribo susevana anya devāśraya nāi, tomāre kohilo bhāi, ei bhakti parama bhajana
bhagavata sastra marma, nava vidha bhakti dharma, sadai koribo susevana anya devasraya nai, tomare kohilo bhai, ei bhakti parama bhajana
भागवत शास्त्र मर्म, नव विधा भक्ति धर्म, सदाइ कोरिबो सुसेवन अन्य देवाश्रय नाइ, तोमारे कोहिलो भाइ, एइ भक्ति परम भजन
I shall eternally engage in the nine-fold process of devotional service, which is the essential message of Srimad-Bhagavatam, and I shall not worship the demigods. O brother, I say to you: Devotional service is the most exalted kind of worship.
- Verse 10
sādhu śāstra guru vākya, hṛdoye koriyā aikya, satata bhāsibo prema mājhe karmī jñānī bhakti hīna, ihāke koribo bhina, narottama ei tattva gāje
sadhu sastra guru vakya, hrdoye koriya aikya, satata bhasibo prema majhe karmi jnani bhakti hina, ihake koribo bhina, narottama ei tattva gaje
साधु शास्त्र गुरु वाक्य, हृदोये कोरिया ऐक्य, सतत भासिबो प्रेम माझे कर्मी ज्ञानी भक्ति हीन, इहाके कोरिबो भिन, नरोत्तम एइ तत्त्व गाजे
Making the words of the guru, sadhus and sastras one with my heart, I constantly float and swim in the ocean of pure love. I am different from the karmis and jnanis, who have no devotion for Krsna. Narottama speaks the truth.
