SRI GAUDIYA GITANJALI : SARANAGATI GITI
ki jani ki bale, tomara dhamete,
hainu saranagata
tumi daya-maya, patita-pavana,
patita tarane rata [1]
I do not know how, but somehow I have surrendered at Your holy abode. A very
merciful rescuer of the fallen, You are always eager to deliver such
souls.
bharasa amara, ei-matra natha!
tumi ta’ karuna-maya
tava daya-patra, nahi mora sama,
avasya ghuchabe bhaya [2]
O Master, my only hope is that You are very merciful. Nobody deserves to
receive Your mercy more than me; surely You will remove my fears.
amare tarite, kaharo sakati,
avani-bhitare nahi
dayala thakura! ghosana tomara,
adhama pamare trahi [3]
Nobody else in this world has the power to rescue me. O Merciful Lord! You
have declared that You will rescue the lowly and vile.
sakala chhadiya, asiyachhi ami,
tomara charane, natha!
ami nitya-dasa, tumi palayita,
tumi gopta, jagannatha! [4]
O Master! I have come to Your holy feet leaving everything behind. I am Your
eternal servant, and You are my guardian. You are the maintainer, the master
of the universe!
tomara sakala, ami matra dasa,
amare taribe tumi
tomara charana, karinu varana,
amara nahi ta’ ami [5]
Everything belongs to You, and I am only a servant. Please rescue me! I have
embraced Your holy feet, so I no longer belong to myself.
bhakativinoda, kandiya sarana,
la’yechhe tomara paya
ksami’ aparadha, name ruchi diya,
palana karahe taya [6]
Crying, Bhaktivinod has surrendered at Your feet. Please take charge of him –
forgive his offences and let him have taste for the Holy Name.
