Translation

Verse 1

O Lord Kṛṣṇa, this material world is a prison bounded by time and space. O Lord, You are the master of all. The laws and boundaries of this world do not touch You. The laws of this world tremble in fear of You.

Verse 2

No one is equal or greater than You. You transgress all laws. You are supremely independent. Employing Your Māyā potency, You hide from the conditioned souls.

Verse 3

Even so, Your pure devotees have the power to see You. Indeed, they see Your form always. Poor Bhaktivinoda never engages in Your pure devotional service. For him the dust of Your devotees' feet is the best thing in this world.
