The Disciple's Empowerment is Lost

hare kṛṣṇa mahā-nāma batrīśa akṣare mūḍhtāya vaśībhūta kīrtana nā kare

The greatest mantra of all, consisting of thirty-two letters, is: Hare Krsna Hare Krsna Krsna Krsna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare People who are possessed by gross foolishness refuse to chant it.

tomāra upadeśa tyaji śṛgāla-vāsudevā ghaṭā-'la jañjāla āja sahajiyā-sevā

Your so-called disciple, the jackal named Ananta Vasudeva, disobeyed your final instructions to keep the mission united, and thereby created a scandalous fiasco. The result of this philosophical deviation is evident to this day as imitative sahajiyas are being worshiped as gurus in your temples.

kothāya rahila tomāra upadeśa-vāṇī "punar mūṣika" saba haila āpani

Is there a single temple to be found where your instructions are still being followed? As it is said: "punar musiko bhava"- Everyone has "again become a mouse."

siṃhera śāvaka āja śṛgālera chale paḍiyā kāṅdiche sabe māyāra kabale

The lion's food has been stolen away by the deceptive tricks of the jackal. Now caught in Maya's mighty clutches everyone is reduced to wailing and weeping.

kṛpā yadi kara prabhu! ābāra mo'dera maraṇera tīre tabe heri heraphera

O Master! If your are merciful to us one again, then even though we are trapped here on the shores of the ocean of death, we will finally behold a change for the better.

tabe punaḥ sukhe morā kṛṣṇa-nāma smari tomāra vaikunṭha-vākye dṛḍha viśvāsa kari'

Then once again we can blissfully remember the holy name of Krsna, and once again we will have firm faith in your "Vaikuntha messages."

sei śuddha nāma kṛṣṇa ābāra nācābe māyā jañjāla saba āpani ghucibe

Once again you will make us dance in the pure holy name of Krsna. Thus you will personally dispel all this confusion caused by Maya.

jīvera darada-duḥkhi śrīla prabhupāda! viraha-vāsare tava heri avasāda

O Srila Prabhupada! You personally suffer to see the suffering of the fallen conditioned souls. On this day of your separation I am utterly despondent.
