Ami To’ Durjana Ati Sada Duracar

Ucchvasa : Prarthana Dainyamayi Song 2

1

ami to' durjana ati sada duracar
koti koti janme mor nahiko uddhar

I am certainly the most wicked person, always performing sinful actions. For millions and millions of births I have not been able to gain release from this predicament.

2

e heno doyalu kebae jagate ache
emata pamare uddhariya la'be kache?

Who is so merciful within this material universe as to pick such a sinner up and take me close to Himself?

3

suniyachi,
sri-caitanya patita-pavana
ananta-pataki jane korila mocana

But I have heard about Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Who is known as the deliverer of the most fallen. Innumerable sinners have already been freed by Him.

4

emata doyar sindhu krpa bitariya kabe
uddharibe more sri-caranan diya?

Such an ocean of compassion He is, Who is distributing His own causeless mercy! When will He deliver me by bestowing upon me His own Divine Lotus Feet?

5

eibar bujha ja'be karuna tomar
jadi e pamara-jane koribe uddhar

Oh Lord! Now I will really understand the extent of Your compassion only if You are able to deliver this most sinful person.

6

karma nai, jnana nai,
krsna-bhakti nai tabe bolo' kirupe o sri-carana pai

By what means will I get those lotus feet since I am completely bereft of fruitive activities, bereft of knowledge, and bereft of any kind of devotion to Krsna?

7

bharasa amar matra koruna tomar
ahaituki se koruna beder bicar

My only hope is Your compassion, for the opinion of all the Vedas is that Your compassion is causeless.

8

tumi to' pavitra-pada,
ami durasoy kemone tomar pade paibo asroy?

You are the very abode of purity, and I am most wicked and evil-minded. So how will I attain the shelter of Your lotus feet?

9

kandiya kandiya bole' e patita char
patita-pavana nama prasiddha tomar

Weeping and weeping, this fallen and most contemptible person says: "Dear Lord, all I know is that Your most celebrated name is Patita-Pavana, the deliverer of the fallen".
