1. With a mind so evil,
In the midst of this world, Forsaken,
As I lay, Thy Own servant,
A superior person,
Thou didst send.
2. Pitying me,
Fallen as I was,
He came to me and said,—
Thou seem’st humble,
Listen to good words
That will cheer thy heart.
3. To deliver Thee
Sri Krishna Chaitanya
Has appeared in Nabadwip.
Many another like thyself,
As humble and as base,
He has conducted safely across
the sea of the world’s tribulations.
4. The promise of the Vedas to fulfill,
The Son of a Brahmin,
Of golden colour,
Bearing the Name of Mahaprabhu,
Fills Nadia township with ecstasy,
In company of the super-ascetic,
His brother.
5. The Supreme Lord Chaitanya,
Who is no other than the Son of Nanda,
By the free gift of His Own Name,
Has wrought the deliverance of the world.
Go thou also, and receive thy salvation.
6. Hearing those words I have come,
O Lord, For the shelter of Thy feet.
Bhaktivinod, crying out in grief.
Narrates the story of himself.
