Dhana Jana Deha

Soka Satana Song 3

1

dhana jana deha geha kṛṣṇe samarpaṇa
koriyācho śuddha-citte koroho smaraṇa

"Offering all of your wealth, relatives, body and entire household unto Krsna in dedication, just remember Him always with a purified heart."

2

tabe keno mama suta boli ' koro duḥkha
kṛṣṇa nilo nija-jana tāhe tāra sukha

"So then why are you exclaiming, `my son, my son!' in great sadness? Krsna has simply taken His own devotee, just to suit His own happiness.

3

kṛṣṇa-icchā-mate saba ghaṭaya ghaṭanā
tāhe sukha-duḥkha-jñāna abidyā-kalpanā

" Krsna is causing all things to take place just according to His own sweet will. In light of that, all your ideas of happiness and distress are simply ignorant mental concoctions.

4

jāhā icchā kore kṛṣṇa tāi jāno bhāla
tyajiyā āpana icchā ghucāo jañjāla

"Whatever Krsna's desire is, you must accept only that as actually good. Renouncing all of your separate personal desires, relieve yourselves of this unnecessary botheration."

5

deya kṛṣṇa neya kṛṣṇa pāle kṛṣṇa sabe
rākhe kṛṣṇa māre kṛṣṇa icchā kore jabe

" Krsna gives you everything, Krsna takes everything away, Krsna maintains everyone or kills everyone whenever He likes, according to His own sweet will.

6

kṛṣṇa-icchā biparīta je kore bāsanā
tāra icchā nāhi phale se pāya jātanā

"If someone maintains some desire that is contrary to Krsna's desire, then her wish does not become fruitful. Indeed, she only gets trouble and anguish."

7

tyajiyā sakala śoka śuno kṛṣṇa-nāma
parama ānanda pabe pūrṇa habe kāma

"Therefore, rejecting all of your lamentation, just listen to the chanting of Krsna's holy name which is going on now out in the courtyard. From this you will get the topmost transcendental bliss, and all of your desires will be fulfilled."

8

bhakatibinoda māge śrībāsa-caraṇe
ātma-nibedana-śakti jībane maraṇe

Thus Bhaktivinoda begs at Srivasa Pandita's lotus feet for the power to completely surrender his soul to Krsna in life or in death.
