Sri Guru-Vaishnava Mahatmya-Giti
sri-guru-charana-padma | kevala bhakati-sadma |
vando muni savadhana mate |
yanhara prasade bhai | e bhava tariya yai |
krsna-prapti haya yanha haite [1] |
I carefully offer my obeisance to Sri Guru's lotus feet, which are the sole
abode of devotion. O brother! By his mercy we cross over this world and reach
Krishna.
guru-mukha-padma-vakya | chitete kariya aikya |
ara na kariha mane asa |
sri-guru-charane rati | sei se uttama-gati |
ye prasade pure sarva asa [2] |
Make the teachings from Sri Guru's lotus mouth one with your heart, and do
not desire anything else within your heart. Attachment to Sri Guru's feet is
the best path. By his mercy all desires are fulfilled.
chaksu-dana dila yei | janme janme prabhu sei |
divya jnana hrde prakasita |
prema-bhakti yanha haite | avidya vinasa yate |
vede gaya yanhara charita [3] |
He who gave me the gift of eyes is my lord, birth after birth. He manifested
divine knowledge in my heart. He gives prema-bhakti and destroys ignorance.
The Vedas sing of his character.
sri-guru karuna-sindhu | adhama janara bandhu |
lokanatha lokera jivana |
ha ha prabhu kara daya | deha more pada-chhaya |
e adhama la-ila sarana [4] |
Sri Guru is an ocean of mercy and the friend of the fallen. He is the lord
and life of all people. O master! Be merciful. Give me the shade of your
feet. This fallen soul has taken shelter of you.
(ami) (saran nilam)
(abhaya-sri-pada-padme saran nilam)
(amay) (daya kara he)
(patit-pavan sri gurudev daya kara he)
(adhama patita jene daya kara he)
(jay gurudev)
I have taken shelter. I have taken shelter at your lotus feet, where there is
no fear. Please be merciful to me. O Sri Gurudev, saviour of the fallen,
please be merciful to me. Understanding that I am lowly and fallen, be
merciful to me. All glory to you, Sri Gurudev!
