Translation

Verse 1

bāndhilo"From the day Māyā imprisoned me I have been bound with shackles of ignorance and illusion. Many births I have passed in Māyā's prison.

Verse 2

"I have been a demigod, demon, human, animal, bird, insect, and worm. I have lived in Svarga, earth, and hell. I have been obsessed with desires for temporary things.

Verse 3

"By the power of what pious deeds was I able to take birth as Śrīvāsa's son in holy Nadīyā and both see and touch Your feet, O Lord? I do not know.

Verse 4

"At every death I suffered greatly. But this death, by Your touch, was very happy.

Verse 5

"If by Your wish I must take birth again, I pray that I may have love and devotion for Your feet."

Verse 6

Then the boy became silent. Seeing Lord Caitanya's pastimes, Śrīvāsa's family turned away from grief and became plunged into bliss.

Verse 7

Bhaktivinoda begs Śrīvāsa: May I pass this life drinking and and drinking from the flood of nectar that is Lord Caitanya's pastimes.
