Krsna Tava Punya Habe Bhai

Composed by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami

1
kṛṣṇa taba puṇya habe bhāi e-puṇya koribe jabe rādhārāṇī khusī habe dhruva ati boli tomā tāi
भावार्थO, brothers, (o brother) The Supreme Lord Krsna will bestow virtue upon you -- but He will do this only when Srimati Radharani first becomes pleased with you. This I surely declare to you.
2
śrī-siddhānta saraswatī śacī-suta priya ati kṛṣṇa-sebāya jāra tula nāi sei se mohānta-guru jagater madhe uru kṛṣṇa-bhakti dey ṭhāi ṭhāi
भावार्थSri Srimad Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura, who is very dear to Lord Gauranga, the son of mother Saci, is unparalleled in his service to the Supreme Lord Sri Krsna. He is that great saintly spiritual master, most magnanimous within this universe, who bestows devotion to Krsna in various places throughout the world.
3
tāra icchā balavān pāścātyete ṭhān ṭhān hoy jāte gaurāńger nām pṛthivīte nagarādi āsamudra nada nadī sakalei loy kṛṣṇa nām
भावार्थHis desire is very powerful, and thus he is causing the Holy Name of Lord Gauranga to spread throughout all the countries of the Western World. In all the cities, towns, and villages on the earth, extending to all the oceans, rivers, and streams, everyone may accept the Holy Name of Krsna.
4
tāhale ānanda hoy tabe hoy digvijay caitanyer kṛpā atiśay māyā duṣṭa jata duḥkhī jagate sabāi sukhī vaiṣṇaver icchā pūrṇa hoy
भावार्थThus all directions will be conquered by a flood of transcendental ecstasy flowing with the excessive mercy of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. When all the miserable living entities that have been corrupted by maya become happy, then the Vaisnava's desire is fulfilled.
5
se kārja je koribāre ājñā jadi dilo more jogya nahi ati dīna hīna tāi se tomāra kṛpā māgitechi anurūpā āji tumi sabār pravīṇa
भावार्थAlthough my Guru Maharaja ordered me to accomplish this mission, I am unworthy to do it, being very fallen and incompetent. That being the case, O Lord Krsna, Your mercy is today arising in a befitting manner to make me become worthy, for You are the wisest of all.
6
tomāra se śakti pele guru-sebāya bastu mile jībana sārthak jadi hoy sei se sevā pāile tāhale sukhī hale taba sańga bhāgyate miloy
भावार्थIf You bestow Your divine power, then one attains the factual substance which is service to the spiritual master - and life becomes successful. If that service is obtained, then one becomes truly satisfied, and ultimately receives Your association due to good fortune.
7
evaṁ janaṁ nipatitaṁ prabhavāhikūpe kāmābhikāmam anu yaḥ prapatan prasańgāt kṛtvātmasāt surarṣiṇā bhagavan gṛhītaḥ so 'haṁ kathaṁ nu visṛje tava bhṛtya-sevām
भावार्थ(As stated by Prahlada Maharaja to Lord Nrsimhadeva in the Srimad Bhagavatam, 7.9.28:) "Thus, by associating with material desires one after another, I was following the general populace by falling into a blind well full of snakes. My dear Lord, O Supreme Personality of Godhead! Then the great sage Narada Muni kindly accepted me as his disciple, and instructed me how to achieve the transcendental position similar to his own. How could I ever leave the service of your servant?"
8
tumi mor cira sāthī bhuliyā māyār lāthi khāiyāchi janma-janmāntare āji punaḥ e sujoga jadi hoy jogāyoga tabe pāri tuhe milibāre
भावार्थO Lord Krsna, You are my eternal companion. Forgetting You, I have suffered the kicking of maya birth after birth. If today the chance to meet You occurs again, then surely I will be able to rejoin You.
9
tomāra milane bhāi ābār se sukha pāi gocārane ghuri din bhor kata bane chuṭāchuṭi bane khāi luṭāpuṭi sei din kabe habe mor
भावार्थO my dear brother! In Your company I will experience great joy once again. Wandering about the pastures and fields, I will pass the entire day with You in tending the cows. Joking with You and frolicking throughout so many forests of Vraja, I will roll upon the ground in spiritual ecstasy. When, oh when will that day be mine?
10
āji se subidhāne tomāra smaraṇa bhela baro āśā ḍākilām tāi āmi tomāra nitya-dāsa tāi kori eta āśa tumi binā anya gati nāi
भावार्थToday that remembrance of being with You came to me in a very nice way. Feeling great longing I called out for You, O Lord Krsna! Only because I am Your eternal servant do I desire Your association so much. Except for You, I have no other refuge.
