Anya Asa Nahi Jar
Yamuna Bhavavali Song 11
hari he anya āśā nāhi jāra taba
pada-padma tāra chāḍibāra jogya nāhi
hoya taba padāśroye nātha kore sei
dina-pāta taba pade tāhāra abhoya
Oh my dear Lord Hari! He who spends his time under the shelter of Your lotus feet, oh Lord, becomes completely fearless. Indeed, he has no ability to neglect Your lotus feet for he hasn't a pinch of desire to remain under any other shelter.
stanya-pāyī-śiśu- jane mātā chāḍe
krodha -mane śiśu tabu nāhi chāḍe
māya je hetu tāhāra ārae jībana
dhoribāra mātā binā nāhika upāya
A mother sometimes neglects her breast-suckling children out of anger but still the children could never give up their mother. This is because such small helpless children are not able to maintain their lives at all without their mother, being totally dependent on her.
e bhaktibinoda koya tumi chāḍo
doyāmoya dekhiyā āmāra doṣa-gaṇa ā;
mi to' chāḍite nāri tomā binā
nāhi pāri kakhana dhorite e jībana
Similarly, Bhaktivinoda says to You, oh Lord Who is overflowing with compassion, that You may reject me if You like, seeing all of my offenses. But still, I will never be able to abandon You, for I cannot maintain my life under any circumstances without You.
