Ana Katha Ana Vyatha
Song 4
āna
kathā āna vyathā, nāhi yeno yāi tathā, tomāra
caraṇa smṛti sāje avirata
avirala, tuyā guṇa kala kala, gāi
yeno satera samāje
O Lord, I do not perform the painful activity of talking about anything other than You, but instead I only talk and think about Your lotus feet. O Lord, I constantly and without deviation glorify Your transcendental attributes in the assembly of devotees.
anya
vrata anya dāna, nāhi koro vastu jñāna, anya
sevā anya deva pūjā hā
hā kṛṣṇa! boli boli, beḍābo ānanda kori, mane
āra nāhi yeno dujā
I shall not perform any vows not related to You. I shall not give in charity except as a service to You. I shall not acquire knowledge except to serve You. I shall not worship the demigods. I shall not serve anyone except You. I shall blissfully wander about repeatedly calling out: "O Krsna! O Krsna!" No one but You will stay in my mind.
jīvane
maraṇe gati, rādhā-kṛṣṇa
prāṇapati, doṅhāra
pirīti rasa sukhe yugala
saṅgati yārā, mora prāṇa gale hārā, ei
kathā rahu mora buke
During the life of this body and after its death, Sri Sri Radha-Krsna will always remain my goal, and the two masters' of my life's breath. I worship the Divine Couple and I swim and float in the nectarean ocean of love for Them. I pray that the description of Their forms, qualities, and pastimes may always remain within my heart.
yugala
caraṇa sevā, yugala caraṇa dhyevā, yugalei
manera pirīti. yugala
kiśora rūpa, kāma rati gaṇa bhūpa, mane
rahu o-līlā ki rīti
Please give me the service of the lotus feet of the Divine Couple. Please give this charity to me. My mind is filled with love for the Divine Couple, whose youthful forms are like the beautiful forms of King Kamadeva and his queen Rati.
daśanete
tṛṇa dhari, hā hā kiśora kiśori, caraṇābje
nivedana kori vraja
rāja kumāra śyāma, vṛṣabhānu nandinī
nāma, śrī
rādhikā rāmā manohārī
I place a straw between my teeth, and place the following appeal before the lotus feet of the Divine Couple: O Sri Sri Kisora-Kisori, O Lord Syamasundara, O prince of Vraja, O beautiful girl name Sri Radhika, O daughter of Maharaja Vrsabhanu.....
kanaka
ketakī rāi, śyāma marakata kāi darapa
darapa koru cura naṭavara
śekharinī, naṭinīra śiromaṇi duṅhu
guṇe duṅhu mana jhura
....O Srimati Radharani, as beautiful as a golden ketaki flower. O Lord Syamasundara, as splendid as a blue sapphire, O Lords whose transcendental glory crushes Kamadeva's pride into fine powder, O two crest-jewels of all expert dancers, please allow my mind to remain rapt in thinking of Your transcendental qualities.
śrī
mukha sundara vara, hema nīla kānti dhara, bhāva
bhūṣaṇa koru śobhā. nīla
pīta vāsa dhara, gaurī śyāma manohara, antarera
bhāve duhu lobhā
"Their exquisitely beautiful faces, that carry a golden and blue lustre, are beautified by ornaments of ecstatic love. Their complexions are golden and blue and Their garments are blue and golden, showing that They carry love for Each other in Their hearts and that they are yearning for Each other." O Lords whose limbs are decorated with many jewel ornaments, Narottama dasa approaches Your lotus feet and says: My Lords, I wish that I may attain transcendental bliss by singing the glories of Your transcendental qualities both day and night. That is my mind's desire.
ābharaṇa
maṇimaya, prati aṅge abhinaya, kohe
dīna narottama dāsa niśi
diśi guṇa gāi, parama ānanda pāi, mane
mora ei abhilāṣa
