Stri Purusa Deha Geha
Yamuna Bhavavali Song 21
hari he strī-puruṣa-deha-gata barṇa-ādi
dharma jata tāhe punah ̣ deha-gata
bheda sattwa-rajas-tamo-guṇa āśroyeche
bheda punah ̣ ei-rūpa sahasra prabheda
Oh my Lord! I know that all bodily distinctions between female and male, as well as the divisions of the varnasrama system namely brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya, sudra, brahmacari, grhastha, vanaprastha and sannyasa are all simply materialistic distinctions based on bodily consciousness. All these fall under the jurisdiction of the modes of goodness, passion and ignorance, and thus all these bodily discriminations multiply into thousands of different complicated classifications.
jekhona śarīra thāki jekhona abasthā
rākhi se saba ekhona taba pāya
saṁpilāma prāṇeśwara mama boli '
atah ̣ para āra kichu nā rohilo dāya
Whatever type of body I happen to live in, and whatever circumstantial position surrounds this particular body, I now offer all these things unto Your lotus feet, oh Lord of my life! From now on, I am no longer responsible for anything related to my very existence.
tumi prabhu rākho mora saba taba
adhikāra āchi āmi tomāra kiṅkora
e bhaktibinoda bole taba dāsya-kautūhole
thāki jena sadā-sebā-pora
Therefore, please protect and maintain me, oh Lord, for I am but Your eternal humble servant. Bhaktivinoda is just informing You that I am living always absorbed in the curious amusement of the transcendental loving service attitude.
