1keśava! tuwā jagata vicitra
karama-vipāke, bhava-vana bhrama-i,
pekhaluń rańga bahu citra
भावार्थThis material creation of Yours, O Kesava, is most strange. I have roamed throughout the forest of this universe in consequence of my selfish acts, and I have beheld many strange and curious sights.
2tuwā pada-vismṛti, ā-mara jantranā,
kleśa-dahane dohi’ jāi
kapila, patañjali, gautama, kanabhojī,
jaimini, bauddha āowe dhāi’
भावार्थForgetfulness of Your lotus feet has brought on anguish and grief. As I burn in this fire of misery, my would-be saviors — Kapila, Patanjali, Gautama, Kanada, Jaimini, and Buddha — come running to my aid.
3tab koi nija-mate, bhukti, mukti yācato,
pāta-i nānā-vidha phāńd
so-sabu—vañcaka, tuwā bhakti bahir-mukha,
ghaṭāowe viṣama paramād
भावार्थEach expounds his particular view, dangling various pleasures and liberation as bait in their philosophical traps. They are all cheaters, averse to Your devotional service and thus fatally dangerous.
4vaimukha-vañcane, bhaṭa so-sabu,
niramilo vividha pasār
danḍavat dūrato, bhakativinoda bhelo,
bhakata-caraṇa kori’ sār
भावार्थThey are magnates of karma, jnana, and yoga who specialize in opinions and proofs for cheating the materially inclined. Bhaktivinoda, considering refuge at the feet of the Vaisnavas as essential, pays his respects to these cheating philosophers from afar.
