Ohe Vaisnava Thakura

ohe! vaiṣṇaba ṭhākura, doyāra sāgara, e dāse koruṇā kori’ diyā pada-chāyā, śodho he āmāya, tomāra caraṇa dhori

O venerable Vaisnava. O ocean of mercy, be merciful unto your servant. Give me the shade of your lotus feet and purify me. I hold on to your lotus feet.

chaya bega domi’, chaya doṣa śodhi’, chaya guṇa deho’ dāse chaya sat-saṅga, deho’ he āmāre, boshechi saṅgera āśe

Teach me to control my six passions; rectify my six faults, bestow upon me the six qualities, and offer unto me the six kinds of holy association.*

ekākī āmāra, nāhi pāya bala, hari-nāma-saṅkīrtane tumi kṛpā kori’, śraddhā-bindu diyā, deho’ kṛṣṇa-nāma-dhane

I do not find the strength to carry on alone the sankirtana of the holy name of Hari. Please bless me by giving me just one drop of faith with which to obtain the great treasure of the holy name of Krsna.

kṛṣṇa se tomāra, kṛṣṇa dite pāro, tomāra śakati ache āmi to’ kāṅgala, ‘kṛṣṇa’ ‘kṛṣṇa’ boli’, dhāi tava pāche pāche

Krsna is yours. You have the power to give Him to me. I am simply your servant running behind you shouting, "Krsna! Krsna!"
