Srila Rupa Gosvami's Padyavali verse 11

 

k€€yan na ca bhojan€di-niyam€n no v€ vane v€sato

vy€khy€n€d athav€ muni-vrata-bhar€c cittodbhavaƒ k…yate

kintu sph…ta-kalinda-aila-tanay€-t…reu vikr…ato

govindasya pad€ravinda-bhajan€rambhasya le€d api

 

k€€y€t-from the saffron color; na-not; ca-and; bhojana-of eating; €di-etc.;

niyam€t-from restraint; na-not; v€-or; vane-in the forest; v€sataƒ-from the

residence; vy€khy€n€t-from explanation of the scriptures; athav€-or;

muni-vrata-from the vow of silence; bhar€t-great; citta-udbhavaƒ-cupid;

k…yate-becomes weakened; kintu-but; sph…ta-broad; kalinda-of Mount Kalinda;

aila-mountain; tanay€-of the daughter (the Yamun€ River); t…reu-on the

ba‰ks; vikr…ataƒ-playing; govindasya-of Lord Govinda; pada-feet;

aravinda-lotus flowers; bhajana-of the devotional service; €rambhasya-of the

beginning; le€t-from a little particle; api-even.

 

Not by wearing saffron cloth, not by restricting food and other

sense-activities, not by living in the forest, not by discussing philosophy,

and not by observing a vow of silence, but only by even the slightest

beginning of devotional service to the lotus feet of Lord Govinda, who

enjoys pastimes on the Yamun€'s wide banks, is K€madeva stopped.

 

k€laƒ kalir balina indriya-vairi-varg€ƒ

r…-bhakti-m€rga iha kaŠ˜haka-ko˜i-ruddhaƒ

h€ h€ kva y€mi vikalaƒ kim ahaˆ karomi

caitanya-p…˜ha yadi n€dya kp€ˆ karoi

 

k€laƒ-the time; kalir-is the age of Kali; balinaƒ-strong;

indriya-vairi-varg€ƒ-the enimical senses; r…-bhakti-m€rgaƒ-the path of

devotional service; iha-here; kaŠ˜haka-ko˜i-ruddhaƒ-filled with millions of

thorns; h€ h€-Oh! Oh!; kva-where?; y€mi-will I go; vikalaƒ-agitated;

kim-what?; ahaˆ-I; karomi-will do; caitanya-p…˜ha-O abode of Lord Caitanya;

Srila Prabhodananda Sarasvati's Chaitanya Candramrta verse 49 is similar but

the last line is:

 

caitanya-candra yadi n€dya kp€ˆ karoi

 

Text 96

 

saˆs€ra-duƒkha-jaladhau patitasya k€ma-

krodh€di-nakra-makaraiƒ kaval…-ktasya

durv€san€-nigaitasya nir€rayasya

gaur€‰ga-p…˜ha mama dehi kp€valambam

 

saˆs€ra-of repeated birth and death; duƒkha-of the sufferings;

jaladhau-in the ocean; patitasya-fallen; k€ma-lust; krodha-and anger;

€di-beginning; nakra-crocodiles; makaraiƒ-and sharks; kaval…-a mouthful;

ktasya-being made; durv€san€-by wicked desires; nigaitasya-chained;

nir€rayasya-without any shelter; gaur€‰ga-of Lord Caitanya; p…˜ha-O sacred

abode; mama-to me; dehi-please give; kp€-of mercy; avalambam-the gift.

 

 

I am chained by sinful desires. I have fallen into the painful ocean of

repeated birth and death. The sharks and crocodiles of lust and anger are

devouring me alive. I have no shelter. O holy abode of Lord Gaur€‰ga, please

be merciful to me!

Again somewhere near about verse 55 Caitanya Candramrta has similar but the

last line is:

 

caitanya chandra mama dehi pad€valambam
