Krpa Koro Vaisnava Thakura
Ucchvasa : Prarthana Lalasmayi Song 8
kṛpā koro vaiṣṇava ṭhākura,
sambandha jāniyā bhajite bhajite, abhimāna hau dūra
O Vaisnava Thakura! Please give me your mercy - knowledge of my relationship with Bhagavan and the ability to do bhajana, sending my false ego far away.
' āmi to vaiṣṇava ', e buddhi hoile,
amānī nā ho'bo āmi pratiṣthāśā āsi ', hṛdoya dūṣibe,
hoibo niraya-gāmī
If I think "I am a Vaisnava," then I will never become humble. My heart will become contaminated with the hope of receiving honor from others, and I will surely go to hell.
tomāra kiṅkora, āpane jānibo,
'guru'- abhimāna tyaji ' tomāra ucchiṣṭha,
pada-jala-reṇu, sadā niṣkapaṭe bhaji
Give me the mercy that I can renounce the false conception of my being guru and can be your servant. Let me accept without duplicity your remnants and your foot-bath water.
' nije śreṣṭha ' jani, ucchiṣṭthādi dāne,
ho'be abhimāna bhāra tāi śiṣya taba, thākiyā sarvadā,
nā loibo pūjā kā'r
By thinking that I am superior (guru) and giving my remnants to others, I will bring about my destruction. Let me always identify as your disciple and not accept any worship or praise from others.
amānī mānada, hoile kīrtane,
adhikāra dibe tumi tomāra caraṇe, niṣkapaṭe āmi,
kāṅdiyā luṭibo bhūmi
In this way I can renounce the desire for honor for myself and can offer respect to others. Weeping sincerely at your lotus feet and rolling on the ground, I pray that you will give me the ability to chant nama purely.
