Tunhu Doya Sagara
Siksastakam Song 2
tuṅhu
doyā-sāgara tārayite prāṇī nām
aneka tuwā śikhāoli āni'
O Lord, You are an ocean of mercy. You have brought Your innumerable holy names to this world and have taught the chanting of them to the fallen living beings just for their deliverance.
sakala
śakati dei nāme tohārā grahane
rākholi nāhi kāla-vicārā
You invest all Your energies in Your own holy name, and for chanting Your holy name You have not established any rules such as consideration of time or place.
śrī-nāma-cintāmaṇi
tohāri samānā viśve
bilāoli karunā-nidānā
Your divine holy name, being non-different from You, is like touchstone. You have distributed Your holy name throughout the entire creation, and that is the essence of Your kindness.
tuwā
doyā aichana parama udārā atiśoy
manda nātha! bhāga hāmārā
Such is Your mercy, which is supremely magnanimous, O Lord, but I am extremely unfortunate.
nāhi
janamalo nāme anurāga mor bhakativinoda-citta
duḥkhe vibhor
My attraction for the holy name has never come about; therefore the heart of Bhaktivinoda is overwhelmed with sadness.
