भावार्थI know now Your divine feet are a refuge free from all sorrow and fear, eternally full of sweet nectar.
Vaishnav Bhajan
Ekhona Bujhinu
Composed by Bhaktivinoda Thakura
sakala chāḍiyā tuwā caraṇa-kamale
poḍiyāchi āmi nātha! tava pada-tale
भावार्थAt the soles of those lotus feet I surrender myself and all I possess.
tava pāda-padma nāth! rokhibe āmāre
ār rakhā-kartā nāhi e bhava-saṁsāre
भावार्थO Lord, there is no other protection but You in this world of birth and death.
āmi tava nitya-dāsa-jāninu e-bāra
āmāra pālana-bhāra ekhona tomāra
भावार्थAt last I know myself to be Your eternal servant, whose maintenance You have assured.
baḍo duḥkha pāiyāchi swatantra jīvane
duḥkha dūre gelo o pada-varaṇe
भावार्थLife before, without You, held nothing but sorrow. Now I live free from all misery
je-pada lāgiyā ramā tapasya korilā
je-pada pāiyā śiva śivatwa lobhilā
भावार्थLaksmi, desiring such a place at Your lotus feet, executed austerities. Only after securing a place by Your lotus feet did Lord Siva attain his sivatva, or quality of auspiciousness.
je-pada labhiyā brahmā kṛtārtha hoilā
je-pada nārada muni hṛdoye dhorilā
भावार्थUpon obtaining those feet Lord Brahma became successful in life, and the great sage Narada Muni held those two feet to his heart.
sei se abhoya pada śirete dhoriyā
parama-ānande nāci pada-guna gāiyā
भावार्थYour lotus feet drive away all fear. Having held them to my head, I dance in great ecstasy, singing their glories.
saṁsāra-vipada ho’te avaśya uddhār
bhakativinoda, o-pada koribe tomār
भावार्थYour lotus feet will deliver Bhaktivinoda from the perils of worldly journey.
