Bhramita Samsara Bane

Yamuna Bhavavali Song 13

1

hari he bhramite soṁsāra -bane kabhu
daiba-samghaṭane kona -mate kona
bhāgyabān taba pada uddeśiyā thāke
kṛtāñjali hoya eka-bāra ohe bhagabān

Oh my Lord Hari! While wandering about in the forest of this material world, some fortunate soul may be able to get a momentary glimpse of Your lotus feet just once, by some unseen influence of destiny, and he receives that visions of Your lotus feet with folded hands.

2

sei khaṇe tā'ra jata amaṅgala hoya
hata su-maṅgala hoya puṣṭa ati ā;
ra nāhi khaya hoya krame tā'ra
śubhodoya tā're deya sarbottama-gati

At that very moment all inauspiciousness becomes dissipated, and he very much relishes the nourishment of divine auspiciousness. This never decreases, for You gradually awaken his eternal well-being by bestowing upon such a fortunate soul the topmost goal of life.

3

emona doyālu tumi emona durbhāgā
āmi kabhu nā korinu paraṇāma
taba pada-padma prati nā jāne e
duṣṭa-mati bhaktibinodera pariṇāma

Thus You are such a liberal and magnanimous Lord, but I have never offered my respectful obeisances unto Your lotus feet. Therefore my wicked mentality cannot comprehend anything. This is Bhaktivinoda's resultant unfortunate position.
