Krsna Varta Vina Ara

1

krsna-varta vina ana, 'asad-varta' bali' jana,
sei vesya ati bhayankari sri-krsna-visaya mati,
jivera durllabha ati, sei vesya mati laya hari

Anything but Krsna's message, know as falsehood such a passage, such a harlot is so very dangerous: devotion to the Lord Sri Krsna, rarely gotten by the jiva -that harlot steals away this consciousness.

2

suna mana, bali he tomaya mukti-name sarddulini,
tara katha yadi suni, sarvatma-sampatti gili' khaya

O dear mind, please hear my prayer: And if you hear the presentation of the tigress liberation, all the soul's good prospect she'll devour.

3

tad ubhaya tyaga kara, mukti-katha parihara,
laksmi-pati-rati rakha dure se rati prabala hoile,
paravyome deya phele, nahi deya vasa vraja-pure

Both temptations please abandon, and not to speak of liberation, curb attraction for the Lord Narayana; by attraction to that plane, to Vaikuntha you'll be hurled down -denied the chance to live in Sri Vrndavana.

4

vraje radha-krsna-rati, amulya dhanada ati,
tai tumi bhaja cira-dina rupa-raghunatha-paya,
sei rati prarthanaya, e bhaktivinoda dina-hina

Love for Radha-Krsna in Vraja, bestows the most precious treasure; adore Them in your heart eternally; Rupa-Raghunatha's feet, for such devotion, does entreat this Bhaktivinoda, bereft, in all humility.
