Hari Hari Boro Sela Marame

Dainya Bodhika Song 5; Dainya Vilapa

1

hari
hari! boḍo śela marame rahilo pāiyā
durllabha tanu, śrī kṛṣṇa bhajana vinu, janma
mora viphala hoilo

O Lord Hari, O Lord Hari, a great javelin has pierced me in the core of the heart. Having attained this difficult to get human body, I have neglected the worship of Sri Krsna, and in this way my life has become useless.

2

vrajendra
nandana hari, navadvīpe avatarī, jagat
bhariyā prema dilo mui
se pāmara mati, viśeṣe kaṭhina ati, teī
more karuṇā nahilo

Although Lord Hari, the prince of Vraja, descended to Navadvipa and filled the universe with pure love of God, He was not merciful to me because I was very cruel and sinful at heart.

3

svarūpa
sanātana rūpa, raghunātha bhaṭṭa yuga, tāhāte
nā hoilo mora mati divya
cintāmaṇi dhāma, vṛndāvana heno sthāna, sei
dhāme nā koinu vasati

My mind refuses to think of Srila Svarupa Damodara Gosvami, Srila Sanatana Gosvami, Srila Rupa Gosvami, Srila Raghunatha dasa Gosvami, Srila Raghunatha Bhatta Gosvami, and Srila Gopala Bhatta Gosvami. I decline to make my residence in Vrndavana-dhama, the abode of transcendental cintamani gems.

4

viśeṣa
viṣaye mati, nahilo vaiṣṇave rati, nirantara
kheda uṭhe mane narottama
dāsa kohe, jīvāra ucita nohe, śrī
guru vaiṣṇava sevā vine

My mind is absorbed in sense-gratification, and I do not take pleasure in the association of Vaisnavas. For this reason pain and regret arise in my heart. Narottama dasa says: It is not good to live without serving the spiritual master and Vaisnavas.
