SRI GAUDIYA GITANJALI : SRI NITYANANDA VANDANA
nitai chaitanya dohe bada avatara
emana dayala data na haibe ara [1]
Nitai and Chaitanya are two great incarnations of the Lord. There will never
be another benefactor as merciful as Them.
mlechchha chandala ninduka pasandadi yata
karunaya uddhara karila kata kata [2]
Out of mercy, They rescued so many barbarian, vile, offensive and heretical
people.
hena avatare mora kichhui na haila
hayare! daruna prana ki sukhe raila [3]
Their incarnation is so great, but nothing has changed in me! Alas! What
happiness can there be in such a miserable life?
yata yata avatara haila bhuvane
hena avatara bhai na haya kakhane [4]
There have been many different incarnations in the world, but, brother, there
has never been such an incarnation as Theirs!
hena prabhura pada-padma na kari bhajana
hate tuli mukhe visa karilu bhaksana [5]
I have not worshipped the holy lotus feet of such Lords! Instead, I have been
feeding myself poison, putting it into my mouth with my own hand!
gaura-kirtana preme jagat dubila
hayare! abhagara bindu parasa nahila [6]
In Gaura’s kirtan, the whole world became submerged into divine love.
Alas! But this wretch has not come in touch with even a drop of it!
kande krsna-dasa kesa chhindi nija kare
dhik dhik abhagiya kene nahi mare [7]
Krishna Das is crying, tearing his hair out! Fie upon this wretch! Why does
he not just die?
