SRI GAUDIYA GITANJALI : SARANAGATI GITI
(prabhu he!)
emana durmati, samsara-bhitare,
padiya achhinu ami
tava nija-jana, kona mahajane,
pathaiya dile tumi [1]
(O Lord!) I have fallen into this vile material world, but You have sent a
great soul, Your associate, to me.
daya kari more, patita dekhiya,
kahila amare giya
ohe dina jana, suna bhala katha,
ullasita ha’be hiya [2]
Seeing me so fallen, he took pity on me and came to me, saying: ‘Poor soul,
listen to this good news, it will make your heart 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
already taken many poor souls 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 promise of the Vedas, He has appeared as a son of a
brahman, possessing beautiful golden complexion. Together with His
brother Nityananda, Mahaprabhu has driven all Nadia mad with the Holy Name of
Lord Krishna.
nanda-suta yini, chaitanya gosani,
nija nama kari’ dana
tarila jagat, tumio yaiya,
laha nija-paritrana [5]
‘Chaitanya Gosani, who is Krishna (the son of Nanda) Himself, has freely
distributed His own Name. He has already saved the whole world – you, too,
must come and be delivered.’
se katha suniya, asiyachhi natha,
tomara charana-tale
bhakativinoda, kandiya kandiya,
apana kahini bale [6]
O Master! Hearing this, I have come to Your holy feet. Weeping, Bhaktivinod
is now telling his story.
