Translation

Verse 1

I pray that I may now see the two lotus feet of Lord Krsna. I shall place these lotus feet in my heart. I will dedicate my entire life and soul to them.

Verse 2

If I am not able to see Lord Krsna's lotus feet, my heart will burn with suffering. I will end this life by entering a blazing fire, or jumping into the water.

Verse 3

When I meet Lord Krsna I will serve Him in various ways. I will wipe the perspiration from His face. I will give Him nice food and drink. I will offer Him betel-nuts. I will fan Him. I will anoint His body with sandalwood paste and other aromatic substances.

Verse 4

I will string a garland of Vrndavana forest flowers, and then present that garland to Lord Krsna. I will carefully arrange His hair and tie His topknot.

Verse 5

I will decorate Lord Krsna with a peacock feather, tilaka markings, and a moon drawn in sandalwood paste. Narottamadasa says; In this way I will gradually attain love for Lord Krsna.
