Ei Bara Paile Dekha

Mathura-virahocita Darasana-lalasa Song 2

ei
bāra pāile dekhā caraṇa dukhāni hiyāra
mājhāre rākhi juḍābo parāṇī

I pray that I may now see the two lotus feet of Lord Krsna. I will place these lotus feet in my heart. I will dedicate my entire life and soul to them.

tāre
nā dekhiyā mora mone boro tāp anale
paśibo kimbā jale dibo jhāṁp

If I am not able to see Lord Krsna's lotus feet, my heart will burn with suffering. I will end this life by entering a blazing fire, or jumping into the water.

mukhera
muchābo ghāma khāoyābo pān guyā śramete
bātās dibo candanādi cūyā

When I meet Lord Krsna I will serve Him in various ways. I will wipe the perspiration from His face. I will give Him nice food and drink. I will offer Him betel-nuts. I will fan Him. I will anoint His body with sandalwood paste and other fragrant things.

vṛndāvanera
phuler gāṅthiyā dibo hār bināiyā
bāndhibo cūḍā kuntalera bhār

I will string a garland of Vrndavana forest flowers, and then present that garland to Lord Krsna. I will carefully arrange His hair and tie His topknot.

kapāle
tilaka dibo candanera cāṅd narottama
dāsa kohe pirītera phāṅd

I will decorate Lord Krsna with a peacock feather, tilaka markings, and a moon drawn in sandalwood paste. Narottama dasa says: In this way I will gradually attain love for Lord Krsna.
