Translation

Verse 1

I turned away from Lord Kṛṣṇa. I worshiped Māyā. I fell in love with the world of birth and death. Then merciful Kṛṣṇa came to this world to rescue me.

Verse 2

O my friend, Kṛṣṇa is an ocean of virtues. He gives His mercy even to the offenders. He is not unhappy to purify them.

Verse 3

Coming to the world of birth and death, I worshiped matter. Proud to be an enjoyer, I was lost. Then Lord Kṛṣṇa kindly descended to this world. With the sound of His flute He removed my illusions.

Verse 4

O my friend, please earnestly worship Lord Kṛṣṇa's feet without stop. Indebted to Him for His noble virtues, Bhaktivinoda again and again bows before Lord Kṛṣṇa's feet.
