Gurudeva! Boro Krpa Kori

gurudev! boḍo kṛpā kori’, gauḍa-vana mājhe, godrume diyācho sthāna ājñā dila more, ei braje bosi’, hari-nāma koro gāna

Gurudeva! Because you are so merciful, you gave me a place in Godruma amid the woodlands of Gauda, with this order to fulfill: “Dwell here in this Vrndavana and sing the holy name of Hari.”

kintu kabe prabhu, yogyatā arpibe, e dāsere doyā kori’ citta sthira habe, sakala sohibo, ekānte bhajibo hari

But when, O master, out of your great mercy, will you bestow upon this servant of yours the spiritual competence to fulfill that order? When will my mind become tranquil and fixed? When will I endure all hardships and serve Lord Hari without distractions?

śaiśava-yauvane, jaḍa-sukha-sańge, abhyāsa hoilo manda nija-karma-doṣe, e deho hoilo, bhajanera pratibandha

Due to attachment to worldly pleasures in childhood and youth, I have developed bad habits. Because of these sinful acts my body has become an impediment to the service of the Supreme Lord.

vārdhakye ekhona, pañca-roge hata, kemone bhojibo bolo’ kāńdiyā kāńdiyā, tomāra caraṇe, poḍiyāchi suvihvala

Now, in old age, afflicted by the five-fold illnesses, how will I serve the Lord? O master, please tell me. I have fallen at your feet weeping, overwhelmed by anxiety.
