Gauranga Karuna Koro

gaurāṅga karuṇā koro, dīna hīna jane mo-samo patita prabhu, nāhi tri-bhuvane

O my dear Lord Gauranga! Please show Your mercy to this lowly and destitute soul. O Lord! There is no one more fallen than myself in all the three worlds.

dante tṛṇa dhori’ gaura, ḍāki he tomār kṛpā kori’ eso āmār, hṛdoya mandire

Holding grass between my teeth, O Lord Gaura, I am calling out to You now! Please be compassionate upon me and come to reside within the temple of my heart.

jadi doyā nā koribe, patita dekhiyā patita pāvana nāma, kisera lāgiyā

If You do not give Your mercy, seeing how fallen I am, then why are You known as Patita Pavana -- the merciful Savior of the fallen?

poḍeci bhava tuphāne, nāhika nistār śrī caraṇa taraṇī dāne, dāse koro pār

I am plunged amidst the violent hurricane-stricken waves in the ocean of this material world, from which there is no escape. Kindly give me the gift of Your divine lotus feet, which are compared to a boat in which Your servant may cross over the ocean of birth and death.

śrī kṛṣṇa caitanya prabhu, dāser anudās prārthanā koraye sadā, narottam dās

Narottama Dasa, the servant of the servant of Lord Sri Krsna Caitanya Prabhu, ceaselessly makes this prayer.
