Translation

Verse 1

Rising in this world, the sun of the holy name destroys all ignorance. Turning from māyā's glories, the saintly devotees fall in love with the holy name.

Verse 2

O sun of Lord Hari's holy name, O destroyer of darkness and ignorance, who knows Your glories? Who is the learned person able to loudly explain all Your glories?

Verse 3

O sun of the holy name, when You first dimly appear on the horizon, the darkness of repeated birth and death is almost completely devoured.

Verse 4

Quickly destroying the darkness, You place transcendental knowledge on eyes that had been blind to the truth.

Verse 5

That knowledge gives birth to pure devotional service and to meditation on Lord Hari.

Verse 6

Bhaktivinoda again and again explains Your wonderful pastimes.
