By Srila Bhakti Vinod Thakur
sri-krsna-chaitanya prabhu jive daya kari'
svaparsada sviya dhama saha avatari [1]
Being merciful to the souls, Sri Krsna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu descends with His
associates and abode.
atyanta durlabha prema karibare dana
sikhaya saranagati bhakatera prana [2]
To distribute the most rare form of divine love, He teaches surrender, which
is the life of the devotees.
dainya, atma-nivedana, goptrtve varana
'avasya raksibe krsna'—visvasa palana [3]
Humility, self-submission, embracing the Lord's guardianship, maintaining
the faith that ‘Krsna will certainly protect me'...
bhakti-anukula matra karyera svikara
bhakti-pratikula bhava—varjanangikara [4]
Engaging only in activities that are favourable to devotion, rejecting
everything unfavourable to devotion...
sad-anga saranagati ha-ibe yanhara
tanhara prarthana sune sri-nanda-kumara [5]
Sri Krsna hears the prayers of one who surrenders in this six-fold way.
rupa-sanatana-pade dante trna kari'
bhakativinoda pade dui pada dhari' [6]
Bhakti Vinod places a straw between his teeth and falls before Srila Rupa
Goswami Prabhu and Srila Sanatan Goswami Prabhu, clasping their feet.
kandiya kandiya bale, ami ta' adhama
sikhaye saranagati karahe uttama [7]
Crying and crying, he prays, "I am so lowly! Please elevate me by teaching me
surrender."
