Translation

Verse 1

Staying in a secluded place, the Supreme Personality of Godhead chants the holy names of Lord Kṛṣṇa without stop.

Verse 2

He is the crest jewel of all avatāras. He is the cintāmaṇi jewel of all sannyāsīs who have Kṛṣṇa as their only property.

Verse 3

Fragrant sandal paste is nothing compared to the fragrance of His body.

Verse 4

Even in their dreams, the most glorious jewel ornaments cannot touch the glory of His body.

Verse 5

He renounced His pastimes with Goddess Lakṣmī. Now He sits under a tree.

Verse 6

He put aside His flute and forest-garland. Grasping a daṇḍa, now He is a sannyāsī.

Verse 7

Turning aside from His pastimes of jests and laughter, now He weeps, tears streaming from the blossoming flowers of His eyes.

Verse 8

Now His only wealth is the treasure of pure spiritual love. Now He stays with penniless devotees, devotees who have Kṛṣṇa as their only treasure.

Verse 9

Now He makes a great shower of tears of spiritual love. Vāsu says: My life-breath is now split into pieces.
