| (prabhu he!) |
| emana durmati | samsara bhitare |
| padiya achhinu ami |
| tava nija-jana | kona mahajane |
| pathaiya dile tumi [1] |
O Lord! I am very wicked-minded and have fallen into this material world, but
You have sent a great soul, Your associate (to rescue me).
| daya kari more | patita dekhiya |
| kahila amare giya |
| ohe dina-jana | suna bhala katha |
| ullasita ha'be hiya [2] |
Seeing me so fallen and being merciful, he came to me and said, "O humble
soul, listen to this wonderful message and your heart will rejoice.
| tomare tarite | sri-krsna-chaitanya |
| navadvipe avatara |
| toma hena kata | dina-hina jane |
| karilena bhava-para [3] |
"Sri Krishna Chaitanya has appeared in Nabadwip to deliver you. He has
brought many humble souls just like you to the shore of the ocean of material
existence.
| vedera pratijna | rakhibara tare |
| rukma-varna vipra-suta |
| mahaprabhu name | nadiya mataya |
| sange bhai avadhuta [4] |
"To fulfil the prophecies of the Vedas, He has appeared with a golden
complexion as a brahman's son bearing the name 'Mahaprabhu' and driven all of
Nadia (all the world) mad with divine love in the company of His brother
Nityananda.
| nanda suta yini | chaitanya gosani |
| nija-nama kari' dana |
| tarila jagat | tumi-o yaiya |
| laha nija paritrana [5] |
"Sri Chaitanya, who is Krishna Himself, has distributed His own Name and
delivered the world. Go also and accept your deliverance."
| se katha suniya | asiyachhi, natha! |
| tomara charana-tale |
| bhakati-vinoda | kandiya kandiya |
| apana-kahini bale [6] |
O Lord, hearing this message, Bhakti Vinod has come to the soles of Your
feet. Crying, he tells his story.
