SRI GAUDIYA GITANJALI : SARANAGATI GITI
amara samana hina nahi e samsara
asthira ha’yechhi padi’ bhava parabare [1]
There is nobody as deprived as me in this whole world. Having fallen into
this ocean of material existence, I feel perturbed.
kula-devi yogamaya more krpa kari’
avarana sambaribe kabe visvodari [2]
When will Yogamaya, the guardian goddess of the family and the universal
benefactor, mercifully withdraw the cover from me?
sunechhi agame-vede mahima tomara
sri-krsna-vimukhe bandhi’ karao samsara [3]
I heard about your glories in the Vedas and other sources. You bind those who
are averse to Lord Krishna and keep them in the material world.
sri-krsna-sammukhya ya’ra bhagya-krame haya
ta’re mukti diya kara asoka abhaya [4]
If anybody is fortunate to become favourable to Lord Krishna, you liberate
them and grant them freedom from all grief and fears.
e dase janani! kari’ akaitava daya
vrndavane deha’ sthana, tumi yogamaya [5]
Mother! Please bestow your honest mercy. You are Yogamaya, so please grant me
a place in Vrindavan.
tomake langhiya kotha jive krsna paya
krsna rasa prakatila tomara krpaya [6]
No soul can come to Krishna bypassing you, and it is by your mercy that Lord
Krishna manifested His ecstatic amorous pastimes.
tumi krsna-anuchari jagata-janani
tumi dekhaile more krsna-chintamani [7]
You are always in Krishna’s company. You are the mother of the world. You
have let me see Krishna, who is a transcendental wish-fulfilling gem.
niskapata ha’ye mata chao more pane
vaisnave visvasa vrddhi ha’ka prati-ksane [8]
Mother, I know that you will not deceive me – please cast a glance in my
direction. May my faith in Vaishnavs increase at every moment.
vaisnava-charana bina bhava-parabara
bhakativinoda nare haibare para [9]
Without the holy feet of Vaishnavs, Bhaktivinod will never be able to cross
this ocean of material existence.
