Translation

Verse 1

O my wretched heart, why do you turn away from your Lord Kṛṣṇa? Why do you walk on the path of material desires and worship the demigods?

Verse 2

Please faithfully worship the one Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is situated in transcendental goodness. The numberless demigods, whose goodness is mixed with other modes, are entrusted with specific duties.

Verse 3

Honor all the demigods, but worship Lord Kṛṣṇa alone. He is the master of all masters. Goddess Māyā is His shadow potency. Please pass your time always serving Him with unalloyed devotion.

Verse 4

If one waters a tree's roots, the leaves and branches will become strong. One should not water the top part of the tree. All the demigods become friends of Lord Kṛṣṇa's devotee. They honor him.

Verse 5

O my heart, Bhaktivinoda tells you this: Please always worship, worship, worship the graceful feet of Śrī Śrī Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa.
