ki rūpe pāibo sevā mui durācāra
śrī guru vaiṣṇave rati nā hoilo āmāra
भावार्थI have no devotion for either the Vaisnavas or my own spiritual master. How is it possible for a rascal like me to attain devotional service?
Vaishnav Bhajan
Ki Rupe Paibo Seva
Composed by Narottama Dasa Thakura
aśeṣa māyāte mana magana hoilo
vaiṣṇavete leśa mātra rati nā janmilo
भावार्थMy mind is always drowning in illusion. I have not even the smallest fragment of devotion for the Vaisnavas.
viṣaye bhuliyā andha hoinu divā-niśi
gale phāńsa dite phire māyā se piśācī
भावार्थI have become blind by constantly meditating on the objects of the senses. The maya-witch has placed a hangman;s noose around my neck.
ihāre koriyā jaya chāḍāno nā yāya
sādhu kṛpā vinā āra nāhiko upāya
भावार्थEven if I can cure my blindness and defeat the maya-hangman, I cannot become free from material illusion without the mercy of the saintly devotees.
adoṣa-daraśi prabhu! patita uddhāra
ei bāra narottame koroho nistāra
भावार्थO master, O purifier of the sinful, O savior of the fallen souls, please rescue this Narottama dasa.
