Verse 1

What became of me, as I chanted and chanted the holy name? In my heart I realized, "I am an eternal servant of Kṛṣṇa."

Verse 2

I realized that, caught in Māyā's trap in this dead material world, and separated from Kṛṣṇa, I was suffering in many different ways.

Verse 3

I did not think anything in this world was good. Where will I go to see Kṛṣṇa?" That was my constant thought.

Verse 4

I wept and wept. A great monsoon of tears rose in my eyes.

Verse 5

My Lord Govinda, because of separation from You, I consider even a moment a great millenium.* I have no power to bear being separated from You. (Daśakuśī)

Verse 6

Seeing the fourteen worlds are like a great desert, I no longer wish to maintain my life. What will I do? What will I do? I am not peaceful. My life will not stay.

Verse 7

O residents of Vraja, please save my life. Please show me Rādhā's master. Please grant Bhaktivinoda's prayer. Please accept him in your company.

Verse 8

I have no power to bear this separation from Lord Kṛṣṇa. In two or four days I will give up this life.

Verse 10

As I gazed at the glorious divine couple, my heart became unsteady. Then I lost consciousness. How long was I unconscious? I don't know. When I became conscious again, the vision had gone. (Jāmbphi Lophā)

Verse 11

O sakhīs, how will I maintain my life? Every moment has become like a yuga! (Daśakuśī)

Verse 12

Tears flow from my eyes like torrents of rain in the month of Sravana, and the face of the earth has become totally void. In separation from Govinda my life cannot go on… please tell how I will be able to live.

Verse 13

Becoming unsteady, Bhaktivinoda again takes shelter of the holy name. He calls out, "O master of Rādhā! Please show Yourself to me! Please save my life, so I will not die!"
