Verse 1
mana tumi tīrthe sadā rata
ayodhyā mathurā māyā kāśī kāñci abantiyā
dwārabatī āra āche jata
Verse 2

mukti-lābha koribāra tore

citta sthira tīrthe nāhi kore
Verse 3
tīrtha-phala sādhu-saṅga sādhu-saṅge antaraṅga

sādhu-saṅga koro nirantara
Verse 4
je tīrthe baiṣṇaba nāi se tīrthe nāhi jāi

Verse 5
kṛṣṇa-bhakti jei sthāne mukti dāsī sei-khāne

Verse 6
binoda kohiche bhāi bhramiyā ki phala pāi
baiṣṇaba-sebana mora brata
Verse 1
O my heart, you are always eager to visit holy places like Ayodhyā, Mathurā, Māyāpura, Vārāṇasī, Kāñcipura, Avantipura, and Dvārakā.
Verse 2
To attain liberation you wish to visit all these holy places again and again. O my heart, your visiting them is only useless labor, for you do not become peaceful and determined by all your pilgrimages.
Verse 3
The real benefit of holy places is the association of devotees. In the association of devotees please perform the beautiful and secret worship of Śrī Kṛṣṇa. Wherever the devotees stay is a holy place. O my heart, please be peaceful and always associate with the Lord's devotees.
Verse 4
I will never visit any holy place where the Vaiṣṇavas do not stay. What will I gain by walking to those faraway places? Wherever the Vaiṣṇavas stay, that place is Vṛndāvana. That place is filled with limitless bliss.
Verse 5
Wherever Lord Kṛṣṇa is worshiped with devotion, the goddess of liberation always stays. The water in that place is the celestial Gaṅgā. The hills are Govardhana. The earth is Vṛndāvana. There the Lord's pleasure potency personally appears.
Verse 6
Bhaktivinoda says: O my brothers, what will I gain by visiting many holy places. My vow is always to serve the Vaiṣṇavas.
