Verse 1

I am your ever well-wisher-I become sad when you are sad, and I become happy when you are happy. This I sincerely proclaim to you, dear brothers! Having gone shopping at Lord Nityānanda's Marketplace, O brothers, I have brought back the holy names of the Lord just for your benefit.

Verse 2

Being marked with the symbol of Lord Gaura-chandra, this Hari-nāma is succulent with divine mellows. If you would please take the holy name and always fill your mouths with it, then you shall realize that the name fully contains the Lord who is named.

Verse 3

By chanting the holy name all your sinful reactions and material miseries will be cast far away. This world will become full of wonderful meaning for you, there will be no more fear, and you will be immersed in the ocean of pure joy.

Verse 4

I myself am now quite wretched and indeed destitute, for by arranging to bring the Lord's holy name here I have have fallen into great debt. Seeing me as a soul stricken with extreme poverty, please hand over to me the price of your faith.

Verse 5

Taking your payment, O brothers, I will pass it along to the Mahājana (the proprietor, Lord Nityānanda.) Whatever small commission I may earn by conducting this transaction will be kept in my own storeroom.

Verse 6
