Translation

Verse 1

O my heart, what a calamity has fallen on me! Burned by the flames of my own sins, I suffered...

Verse 2

...To escape the sufferings, I accepted the monist theory, which tries to kill the illusions of Māyā. In this way I drank poison. Now I am very unfortunate. The poison now shows its horrible effect. Burned by the flames of that poison, my life is about to depart.

Verse 3

"I am the Supreme Brahman. Everything is all one." That poison burned my body. O my brother, what kind of medicine is that? The medicine of impersonalism destroyed my life. Where can I get a medicine to cure the effects of that so-called medicine?

Verse 4

The nectar of Lord Kṛṣṇa's holy name is the medicine to cure these two diseases: the disease spread by Māyā and the disease brought by the poison of māyāvāda impersonalism. A devotee who stays at Lord Caitanya's graceful feet is the proper physician is administer this medicine.
