Purna Cidananda Tumi
Soka Satana Song 8
pūrṇa-cid-ānanda tumi tomāra cit-
kaṇa āmi swabhābatah ̣ āmi tuyā dāsa
parama swatantra tumi tuyā paratantra
āmi tuyā pada chāḍi ' sarba-nāśa
The dead son continued: "You, dear Lord, are completely full in transcendental bliss. I am simply a tiny conscious particle of You; therefore by nature I am Your eternal servant. Only You are supremely independent, whereasI am totally dependent on You. Indeed, neglecting Your lotus feet, I have now become completely ruined."
swatantra ho'ye jakhana māyā prati
koinu mana swa-swabhāba chāḍilo āmāya
prapañce māyāra bandhe padinu karmera
dhande karma- cakre āmāre phelya
"As soon as I chose to be independent of Your Lordship, I became inclined toward maya's illusory benefits. Thus I have given up my natural spiritual characteristics. Falling down due to the dazzling bewilderment of fruitive gain, I have become captured by maya within this mundane world. Now as a result I am being forcibly thrown into the revolving wheel of binding fruitive actions and reactions."
māyā taba icchā -mate bāndhe more e
jagate adṛṣṭa nirbandha lauha-kore
sei to' nirbandha more ane śrībāsera
ghore putra-rūpe malinī-jaṭhore
"Thus I am bound up by Maya in this world according to Your will, being firmly clenched in the iron-like grip of my predestined fate. And according to this fate, I have now come into Srivasa's home by taking birth as the son of Malini."
se nirbandha punarāya more ebe
lo'ye jāya āmi to' thākite nāri āra
taba icchā su-prabala mora icchā
su-durbala āmi jība akiñcana chāra
"Now, again according to my predestined fate, I must leave this place; I cannot remain here any longer, even if I wanted to. Your desire is most powerful, dear Lord, whereas my desire is most feeble, for I am simply an insignificant, humble soul."
jathāya pāṭhāo tumi abaśya jāibo
āmi kara keba putra pati pitā
jaḍera sambandha saba tāhā nāhi
satya-laba tumi jībera nitya pālayitā
"Wherever You send me next, oh Lord, I must certainly go to become someone's son or husband or father. However, I know that all these material relationships do not possess even one speck of eternal truth, for only You, dear Lord, are the eternal friend and guardian of all souls."
sañjoge bijoge jini sukha-duḥkha
mane gaṇi taba pade chāḍena āśroya
māyāra gardabha ho'ye mājena soṁsāra
lo'ye bhaktibinodera sei bhoya
"Only one who foolishly neglects the eternal shelter of You two lotus feet considers the union and separation of all these temporary family relationships to be separation of all distress. This just shows how much one has actually become absorbed in the bodily concept of life, being crammed and stuffed into the womb of illusion." Hearing all these truths about the fate of the bound soul has now made Bhaktivinoda become extremely frightened.
