(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.
