Verse 1

Verse 5
punaḥ yadi dik- digante pracāra haita

viraha-vāsare tava heri avasāda
Verse 9
tomāra virahe prabhu! vidare hṛdaya
viraha-vedanā kichu prakāśe abhaya
Verse 1
Lord Caitanya's method of devotional service is not performed in solitude. You preached this again and again to your own devotees.
Verse 2
Just as the Lord delivered Jagai and Madhai out of His own causeless mercy, you explained to everyone that this same method of preaching work has to go on.
Verse 3
The world has now filled up with many Jagais and Madhais to deliver. Everyone is anxiously looking down the road waiting for Caitanya-Nitai to come to their rescue.
Verse 4
If, at such a time as this, you were to personally return to this world and once more preach about all these things the way you always used to do.
Verse 5
If there were enthusiastic preaching activities again taking place in every direction, then all the people as before would be stirred up in blissful excitement.
Verse 6
Your profound shouting would cause the demons and atheists to flee, and your narrations of Lord Caitanya's message would fill the hearts of the innocent souls.
Verse 7
Again the whole world would be excitedly bustling with good tidings, but as it is, in your absence now there is nothing of value anywhere.
Verse 8
O Srila Prabhupada! You personally suffer to see the suffering of the fallen conditioned souls. On this day of your separation I am utterly despondent.
Verse 9
O Master! My heart is broken in your absence. This disciple named Abhay has hereby revealed only a small token of his wretched agony of separation.
