Atma Nivedana Tuwa Pade
Atma Nivedana Song 8
ātma-nivedana, tuwā pade kori', hoinu
parama sukhī duḥkha
dūre gelo, cintā nā rohilo, caudike
ānanda dekhi
I have become supremely joyful by surrendering myself at Your holy feet. Unhappiness has gone away, and there are no more anxieties. I see joy in all directions.
aśoka-abhoya, amṛta-ādhāra, tomāra
caraṇa-dwaya tāhāte
ekhona, viśrāma labhiyā chāḍinu
bhavera bhoya
Your two lotus feet are reservoirs of immortal nectar where one may live free from sorrow and fear. I have found peace there now and have given up the fear of worldly existence.
tomāra
saṁsāre, koribo sevana, nāhibo
phalera bhāgī tava
sukha jāhe, koribo jatana, ho'ye
pade anurāgī
I shall render service in Your household and not endeavor to enjoy the fruits of that service, but rather I shall strive for whatever pleases You, fully devoted to Your lotus feet.
tomāra
sevāya, duḥkha hoya jato, se-o
to' parama sukha sevā-sukha-duḥkha, parama sampada, nāśaye
avidyā-duḥkha
Troubles encountered in Your service shall be the cause of great happiness, for in Your devotional service joy and sorrow are equally great riches. Both destroy the misery of ignorance.
pūrva
itihāsa, bhulinu sakala, sevā-sukha
pe'ye mane āmi
to' tomāra, tumi to' āmāra, ki
kāja apara dhane
I have completely forgotten all past history by feeling great joy in my mind. I am most certainly Yours, and You are indeed mine. What need is there of any other treasure?
bhakativinoda, ānande ḍubiyā, tomāra
sevāra tare saba
ceṣṭā kore, tava icchā-mato, thākiyā
tomāra ghare
Bhaktivinoda, diving into the ocean of bliss, devotes all his efforts for Your service and dwells in Your house according to Your wishes.
