Ekhona Bujhinu

Avasya Raksibe Krsna Visvasa Palana Song 1

1

ekhona
bujhinu prabhu! tomāra caraṇa aśokābhoyāmṛta-pūrṇa
sarva-kṣana

I know now Your divine feet are a refuge free from all sorrow and fear, eternally full of sweet nectar.

2

sakala
chāḍiyā tuwā caraṇa-kamale poḍiyāchi
āmi nātha! tava pada-tale

At the soles of those lotus feet I surrender myself and all I possess.

3

tava
pāda-padma nāth! rokṣibe āmāre ār
rakṣā-kartā nāhi e bhava-saṁsāre

O Lord, there is no other protection but You in this world of birth and death.

4

āmi
tava nitya-dāsa--jāninu e-bāra āmāra
pālana-bhāra ekhona tomāra

At last I know myself to be Your eternal servant, whose maintenance You have assured.

5

baḍo
duḥkha pāiyāchi swatantra jīvane duḥkha
dūre gelo o pada-varaṇe

Life before, without You, held nothing but sorrow. Now I live free from all misery

6

je-pada
lāgiyā ramā tapasya korilā je-pada
pāiyā śiva śivatwa lobhilā

Laksmi, desiring such a place at Your lotus feet, executed austerities. Only after securing a place by Your lotus feet did Lord Siva attain his sivatva, or quality of auspiciousness.

7

je-pada
labhiyā brahmā kṛtārtha hoilā je-pada
nārada muni hṛdoye dhorilā

Upon obtaining those feet Lord Brahma became successful in life, and the great sage Narada Muni held those two feet to his heart.

8

sei
se abhoya pada śirete dhoriyā parama-ānande
nāci pada-guna gāiyā

Your lotus feet drive away all fear. Having held them to my head, I dance in great ecstasy, singing their glories.

9

saṁsāra-vipada
ho'te avaśya uddhār bhakativinoda,
o-pada koribe tomār

Your lotus feet will deliver Bhaktivinoda from the perils of worldly journey.
