Verse 1

Entering the inner rooms of the house, Śrīvāsa pacified the women with words sweet like nectar. He said, "O foolish women, you grieve without reason. How can grief stay where people are rapt in thinking of Lord Kṛṣṇa?

Verse 2

"She who has Kṛṣṇa as her eternal son will never grieve. She who becomes attached to a son that is not eternal will lose everything. You have all come to this world of birth and death to worship Lord Kṛṣṇa. Please find Your happiness in eternal Kṛṣṇa.

Verse 3

"As long as you stay in this body, please place your love in Lord Kṛṣṇa. Please think of Lord Kṛṣṇa as your wealth, your kinsman, and your life. Please tell your hearts that ties with husband, sons, brothers, kinsmen, and everything in relation to the material body are all temporary.

Verse 4

"Any woman who wishes to always keep her temporary relationship with husband or son will find that she cannot. When his karma's fruit is ripe, the son will perish. Even if the son sits on her lap, she has no power to protect him.

Verse 5

"Thinking happiness and suffering come from material relationships, the soul falls far from Lord Kṛṣṇa's feet, falls into a lower life. Therefore, please stop your grief. Dive into the bliss of the holy name."All these words fulfill the desires of Bhaktivinoda.
