Translation

Verse 1

O Lord Kṛṣṇa, I am always restless at heart, ill-mannered, petty, envious, sinful, ungrateful, proud, cruel, vicious, expert in cheating others, ferocious, horrible, and always in lust's grip.

Verse 2

Being so wicked, I am always plunged in an ocean of sufferings. I swim in the ocean of birth and death. How will I find the shore of the ocean of birth and death? How will I find service to Your feet?

Verse 3

Only if I get Your mercy will I cross this impassable ocean. O Lord, please keep this servant with the dust under Your graceful feet. Then Bhaktivinoda will no longer suffer.
