Translation

Verse 1

O Lord, "vācya" and "vācaka" are Your two natures. "Vācya" is Your spiritual, eternal, blissful form.

Verse 2

"Vācaka" refers to Your many holy names, which have the name Śrī Kṛṣṇa as the first amongst them. Consisting of various syllables, these names delight the living entities.

Verse 3

Manifesting these two natures in endless ways, You mercifully give Your pastimes to the conditioned souls.

Verse 4

Still, O my Lord, I know that Your holy name is more merciful than Your form. It is very wonderful and very beautiful.

Verse 5

The Vedas affirm that Your form and Your name are not different. Still, Your name is more merciful than Your form.

Verse 6

If a person who has offended Lord Kṛṣṇa spends his life faithfully calling out the Lord's names, names like Rāma, Kṛṣṇa, and Hari,...

Verse 7

...Then that person's offenses will go far away. That person will easily float in an ocean of nectar, in an ocean of bliss.

Verse 8

A person who commits offenses against the Lord's form will cross beyond those offenses by purely taking shelter of the Lord's holy name.

Verse 9

At Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī's feet Bhaktivinoda begs, "May I love the Lord's holy name at every moment."
