Translation

Verse 1

Please drink in the nectar of Lord Caitanya's pastimes in the towns of Nadīyā. In this way please become free of fear and peaceful at heart.

Verse 2

O my brothers, Lord Kṛṣṇa is the only nectar in this impermanent world of birth and death. Please follow Lord Caitanya's instructions and worship Lord Kṛṣṇa at every moment.

Verse 3

A person who grasps Lord Caitanya's feet and worships Śrī Śrī Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa in Vraja is very fortunate. He is my very life.

Verse 4

Lord Caitanya is not different from Śrī Śrī Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa, and Lord Caitanya's abode is not different from Vṛndāvana. Understand this nectar truth and you will attain an eternal treasure.

Verse 5

I have neither intelligence nor learning. I am poor. I have nothing. I am worthless like a pile of ashes. I have no knowledge, pious deeds, or good conduct.

Verse 6

The Vaiṣṇava spiritual masters have given me the name Bhaktivinoda. But because I have no true devotion, for me this name is only a disease.

Verse 7

To cure myself of this disease, I take shelter of the Vaiṣṇavas' feet.

Verse 8

Placing on his head the dust of the Vaiṣṇavaa' feet, Bhaktivinoda sings this Śoka-śātana.
