SRI GAUDIYA GITANJALI : SARANAGATI GITI
madhava! bahuta minati kari toya
dei tulasi tila, deha samarpalu,
daya janu chhodabi moya [1]
O Madhav! I am earnestly praying to You! With a Tulasi leaf and a grain of
sesame, I am offering my body to You. Please shower Your mercy on me.
ganaite dosa, guna lesa na paobi,
yaba tuhu karabi vichara
tuhu jagannatha, jagabhari kahaosi,
jaga bahira naho muni chhara [2]
If You come to examine me, You will find multiple faults and not a trace of
good qualities. Everyone in this world says that You are the master of the
world, and, however wretched I may be, I am also part of this world.
kiye manusa pasu, pakhi kiye janamiye,
athava kita patanga
karama vipake, gatagati punah punah,
mati rahu tuya para-sange [3]
Whether I am born as a human, beast, bird, worm or bug – whatever trouble I
get into because of my own actions, even if I have to come and go again and
again – may I always be drawn to Your holy association.
bhanaye vidyapati, atisaya katara,
taraite iha bhava-sindhu
tuya pada-pallava, kari avalambana,
tila eka deha dina-bandhu [4]
Vidyapati says, ‘I am suffering so much. Please rescue me from this ocean of
material existence.’ I have come to take shelter at Your tender lotus feet. O
friend of the fallen! Please give me a tiniest bit of space (at Your
feet).
