TRANSLATION

1) Oh my dear Lord Hari! I am most fickle-minded, completely bereft of proper

etiquette and extremely insignificant. I always radiate an intense effulgence

of jealousy and malice. I willingly perform sinful acts, I love to do harm to

my well-wishing benefactors, and I am unnecessarily puffed up with false

prestige. Ferociously vicious like a barbarian, I am vastly learned in the art

of

deceiving others. I am always obsessed under the control of lusty motives,

which are my very breath of life.

 

2) Being such a sinful rogue, I am completely submerged in this ocean of

material tribulation as I aimlessly wander here and there in the vast ocean of

birth and death. How will I ever be able to cross over this deep ocean of

nescience and enter into the eternal service of Your divine lotus feet??

 

3) Only if I get Your causeless mercy, then I can certainly cross over this

miserable ocean of suffering. Now, my dear Lord, Bhaktivinoda is humbly

requesting You to kindly keep this servant as just one of the many particles of

dust

under the safe shelter of Your beautiful lotus feet... then I'll be fully

satisfied.
