Translation

Verse 1

Hearing the Lord's words, Śrīvāsa fell to the ground and said: "O Lord, please hear. I cannot bear to break Your tasting the rasas (mellows of ecstatic love).

Verse 2

[O Lord, why should I be unhappy that one of my sons has died? Even if all of them die, I will be happy simply by seeing You.

Verse 3

To break Your dancing is for me worse than death. Fearing that calamity, I did not give You the bad news.

Verse 4

"Give the order, and we will perform the cremation ceremony of the dead boy." Hearing all this, Lord Caitanya, the jewel of the brāhmaṇas, wept.

Verse 5

Lord Caitanya said, "How can I ever leave you all? If I did, My life would become devastated." Hearing these words, Bhaktivinoda feels fear in his heart.
