Translation

Verse 1

Because he knows this body's collapse is always imminent, a wise person will never say, "At the moment of my death I will worship the Lord. For now I will enjoy a householder's happiness."

Verse 2

Death must come, either now or in a hundred years. O my brothers, please don't be so free of worries. At once worship Lord Kṛṣṇa's feet. Nothing is certain in this life.

Verse 3

First I will do a housholder's duties. Later I will go to Vṛndāvana. For now I must work to become free of the three debts.

Verse 4

You don't need desires like those. In the grip of those desires, you will find your life come to an end. You will not have worship the feet of Lord Kṛṣṇa, the friend of the poor.

Verse 5

Stay at home, or stay in the forest, if you desire true auspiciousness, please always chant Lord Kṛṣṇa's holy names. The excuses you gave are all useless.
