(refrain)

kṛṣṇa taba puṇya habe bhāi

e-puṇya koribe jabe rādhārāṇī khusī habe

dhruva ati boli tomā tāi

(1)

śrī-siddhānta saraswatī śacī-suta priya ati

kṛṣṇa-sebāya jāra tula nāi

sei se mohānta-guru jagater madhe uru

kṛṣṇa-bhakti dey ṭhāi ṭhāi

(2)

tāra icchā balavān pāścātyete ṭhān ṭhān

hoy jāte gaurāńger nām

pṛthivīte nagarādi āsamudra nada nadī

sakalei loy kṛṣṇa nām

(3)

tāhale ānanda hoy tabe hoy digvijay

caitanyer kṛpā atiśay

māyā duṣṭa jata duḥkhī jagate sabāi sukhī

vaiṣṇaver icchā pūrṇa hoy

(4)

se kārja je koribāre ājñā jadi dilo more

jogya nahi ati dīna hīna

tāi se tomāra kṛpā māgitechi anurūpā

āji tumi sabār pravīṇa

(5)

tomāra se śakti pele guru-sebāya bastu mile

jībana sārthak jadi hoy

sei se sevā pāile tāhale sukhī hale

taba sańga bhāgyate miloy

(6)

evaṁ janaṁ nipatitaṁ prabhavāhikūpe

kāmābhikāmam anu yaḥ prapatan prasańgāt

kṛtvātmasāt surarṣiṇā bhagavan gṛhītaḥ

so 'haṁ kathaṁ nu visṛje tava bhṛtya-sevām

(7)

tumi mor cira sāthī bhuliyā māyār lāthi

khāiyāchi janma-janmāntare

āji punaḥ e sujoga jadi hoy jogāyoga

tabe pāri tuhe milibāre

(8)

tomāra milane bhāi ābār se sukha pāi

gocārane ghuri din bhor

kata bane chuṭāchuṭi bane khāi luṭāpuṭi

sei din kabe habe mor

(9)

āji se subidhāne tomāra smaraṇa bhela

baro āśā ḍākilām tāi

āmi tomāra nitya-dāsa tāi kori eta āśa

tumi binā anya gati nāi

TRANSLATION

Refrain: O, brothers, (o brother) The Supreme Lord Krsna will bestow virtue upon you -- but He will do this only when Srimati Radharani first becomes pleased with you. This I surely declare to you.

1) Sri Srimad Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura, who is very dear to Lord Gauranga, the son of mother Saci, is unparalleled in his service to the Supreme Lord Sri Krsna. He is that great saintly spiritual master, most magnanimous within this universe, who bestows devotion to Krsna in various places throughout the world.

2) His desire is very powerful, and thus he is causing the Holy Name of Lord Gauranga to spread throughout all the countries of the Western World. In all the cities, towns, and villages on the earth, extending to all the oceans, rivers, and streams, everyone may accept the Holy Name of Krsna.

3) Thus all directions will be conquered by a flood of transcendental ecstasy flowing with the excessive mercy of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. When all the miserable living entities that have been corrupted by maya become happy, then the Vaisnava's desire is fulfilled.

4) Although my Guru Maharaja ordered me to accomplish this mission, I am unworthy to do it, being very fallen and incompetent. That being the case, O Lord Krsna, Your mercy is today arising in a befitting manner to make me become worthy, for You are the wisest of all.

5) If You bestow Your divine power, then one attains the factual substance which is service to the spiritual master - and life becomes successful. If that service is obtained, then one becomes truly satisfied, and ultimately receives Your association due to good fortune.

6) (As stated by Prahlada Maharaja to Lord Nrsimhadeva in the Srimad Bhagavatam, 7.9.28:)

"Thus, by associating with material desires one after another, I was following the general populace by falling into a blind well full of snakes. My dear Lord, O Supreme Personality of Godhead! Then the great sage Narada Muni kindly accepted me as his disciple, and instructed me how to achieve the transcendental position similar to his own. How could I ever leave the service of your servant?"

7) O Lord Krsna, You are my eternal companion. Forgetting You, I have suffered the kicking of maya birth after birth. If today the chance to meet You occurs again, then surely I will be able to rejoin You.

8) O my dear brother! In Your company I will experience great joy once again. Wandering about the pastures and fields, I will pass the entire day with You in tending the cows. Joking with You and frolicking throughout so many forests of Vraja, I will roll upon the ground in spiritual ecstasy. When, oh when will that day be mine?

9) Today that remembrance of being with You came to me in a very nice way. Feeling great longing I called out for You, O Lord Krsna! Only because I am Your eternal servant do I desire Your association so much. Except for You, I have no other refuge.
