Translation

Verse 1

The supreme master of all now stays in a secluded place. Without stop He chants japa of Lord Krsn a's holy names.

Verse 2

He who is the crest jewel of all avataras has now become the cintamani jewel of the sannyasis.

Verse 3

Formerly His body was anointed with fragrant sandal paste. Now His body's only ointment is dust.

Verse 4

Even in dreams He does not touch jewel ornaments.

Verse 5

He has renounced His pastimes with Goddess Laksmi. Now He lives under a tree.

Verse 6

He renounced the charming flute He used to hold in His hand. Now His hand grasps a sannyasi's danda.

Verse 7

Now love of Krsn a is His only wealth. Now He satys amongst the sannyasis.

Verse 8

Now He is bathed by tears of love for Krsn a. As he speaks these words, Vasudeva Ghosa feels that his life's breath is breaking into pieces.
