(Srila Bhakti Vinod Thakur, Saranagati 11)
manasa, deha, geha, yo kichhu mora
arpilun tuya pade nanda-kisora [1]
Mind, body, house—whatever I have, I have offered everything at Your feet,
Nanda Kisor.
sampade vipade jivane marane
daya mama gela tuya o pada varane [2]
Whether I am safe or in danger, whether I am alive or dead, all my
responsibility is gone now as I have embraced Your feet.
marabi rakhabi yo ichchha tohara
nitya-dase prati tuya adhikara [3]
You may kill me, You may protect me—as You wish. It is your right to dispose
of Your eternal servant as You wish.
janmaobi moye ichchha yadi tora
bhakta-grhe jani janma ha-u mora [4]
If You wish that I take birth again, let me be born then in the home of Your
devotee.
kita janma ha-u yatha tuya dasa
bahir-mukha brahma-janme nahi asa [5]
If I am born as a worm, let it be, as long as I am Your servant. I do now
want to be born as Brahma, averse to You.
bhukti-mukti-sprha-vihina ye bhakta
labha-ite tanka sanga anurakta [6]
I hanker for the association of the devotees who are completely free of all
desire for enjoyment and liberation.
janaka, janani, dayita, tanaya
prabhu, guru, pati tuhu—sarva-maya [7]
Father, mother, lover, son, Master, Guru, husband—You are everything to me.
bhakati-vinoda kahe suna kana!
radhanatha! tuhu hamara parana [8]
Bhakti Vinod says, "Please hear me, Kana! Radhanath! You are my very
life force."
