Sri Radha Krsna Pada Kamale Mana

Ucchvasa : Vijnapti Song 4

1

sri-radha-krsna-pada-kamale mana
kemone lobhibe carama sarana

Oh mind, tell me how I can possibly attain ultimate refuge at the lotus feet of Sri Radha-Krsna?

2

cirodina koriya o- carana as ache he basiya e adhama das

This most fallen servant has been living for a very long time being desirous of those lotus feet.

3

he radhe,
he krsna-candra bhakta-pran
pamare jugala-bhakti koro ' dan

Oh Radhe, Oh Krsna-candra, the very life of Your devotees! Please give devotion unto Yourselves in charity to this fallen sinner.

4

bhakti-hina boli ' na koro ' upeksa
murkha-jane deho ' jnana-susiksa

Please do not neglect me because I am devoid of devotion. Therefore kindly give Your most auspicious instructions to this fool.

5

bisaya pipasa-prapidita dase deho ' adhikar jugala-bilase

Your servant is very much diseased with the thirst for material sense gratification, so he's asking You to kindly give him the capacity to assist in Your divine conjugal pastimes.

6

cancala-jibana-srota pravahiya,
kaler sagare dhay gelo je dibas, na asibe ar,
ebe krsna ki upay

This flickering life is slowly drifting away, flowing onward into the ocean of time. So many days have gone by; more will not come, so now I am wondering what is the means to get You dear Lord Krsna!

7

tumi patita-janer bandhu jani he tomare
natha tumi to' koruna- jalasindhu

Oh Lord! I know that You are the dear most friend of the fallen souls. Indeed You are a veritable ocean of compassion.

8

ami bhagya-hina, ati arvacina,
na jani bhakati-lesa nija-gune natha, koro ' atmasat,
ghucaiya bhava-klesa

I am most unfortunate, backward and inexperienced, for I do not understand even a tiny fraction of devotion. But by virtue of Your own good qualities, oh Lord, make me Your very own beloved and thus put an end to all of my worldly afflictions.

9

siddha-deha diya, brndabana-majhe,
sevamrta koro ' dana piyaiya prema, matta kori ' more,
suno nija guna-gana

Giving me a spiritual body within the transcendental realm of Vrndavana, bestow upon me the nectar of Your service. Thus I will become madly intoxicated with pure love by drinking the nectar of such service. Just hear this song about Your own divine qualities.

10

jugala-sevay,
sri-rasa-mandale niyukta koro ' amay lalita sakhir,
ayogya kinkori, binoda dhoriche pay

Please engage me in rendering confidential services within the circle of the divine Rasa- mandala. Thus Bhaktivinoda, the unworthy maidservant of Sri Lalita Sakhi, is catching hold of Your feet under her guidance.
