Ami Nara Pasu Pray
Yamuna Bhavavali Song 25
( hari he) āmi nara-paśu-prāya
ācāra-bihīna tāya anādi ananta
su-bistāra ati-kaṣṭe parihārja
sahajete anibārja aśubhera āspada ābāra
Oh my Lord Hari! I am simply a two-legged animal, completely bereft of proper behavior. I have been suffering great difficulties unlimitedly since time immemorial. And moreover, I have unavoidably become the repository of all types of sinful activities.
tumi to' doyāra sindhu tumi to'
jagad-bandhu asīma bātsalya-payonidhi
taba guṇa-gaṇa smari ' bhaba-bandha
cheda kori ' nirbhīka hoibo nirabadhi
You are certainly an ocean of compassion, and You are the only real friend of the universe. Your affection is just like a boundless, unfathomable sea of loving relationships. Simply by remembering Your wonderful qualities, my material bonds are being severed and I will become eternally fearless.
ei icchā kori ' mane śrī-jāmuna-caraṇe
gāya bhaktibinoda ekhana
jāmuna-bipina-bidhu śrī-caraṇābja-sīdhu
tā'ra śire koruṇa arpaṇa
Now Bhativinoda sings about all these desires which he has within his mind while prostrated at the lotus feet of Sri Yamunacarya. And he begs Sri Yamunacarya to kindly bestow upon his head the quintessence of the fragrant immortal nectar which flows from the lotus feet of that moon-like person Who glows within the forests on the bank of the river Yamuna in Vraja.
