SRI GAUDIYA GITANJALI : SRIMAN MAHAPRABHU VANDANA
kabe sri chaitanya more karibena daya
kabe ami paiba vaisnava-pada-chhaya [1]
When will Sri Chaitanya (my chaitya-guru) be merciful to me? When will
I come in the shade of Vaishnavs’ feet?
kabe ami chhadiba e visayabhimana
kabe visnu-jane ami kariba sammana [2]
When will I give up this mundane ego? When will I give honour to the Lord’s
devotees?
gala-vastra krtanjali vaisnava-nikate
dante trna kari’ dandaiba niskapate [3]
I will stand before a Vaishnav sincerely, with a cloth around my neck and
joined palms, holding a straw between my teeth.
kandiya kandiya janaiba duhkha-grama
samsara anala haite magiba visrama [4]
Weeping, I will tell Vaishnav Thakur about my miserable life and pray to him
for respite from the fire of material existence.
suniya amara duhkha vaisnava thakura
ama’ lagi’ krsne avedibena prachura [5]
Hearing about my sorrow, worshippable Vaishnav Thakur will ardently pray to
Krishna on my behalf.
vaisnavera avedane krsna dayamaya
e hena pamara prati habena sadaya [6]
Hearing Vaishnav Thakur’s appeal, merciful Lord Krishna will take pity on
this wretched sinner.
vinodera nivedana vaisnava charane
krpa kari’ sange laha ei akinchane [7]
Bhaktivinod prays at the holy feet of Vaishnavs: ‘Please take this destitute
soul with you.’
