Tumi Jagater Pita Tumi Jagater Mata

Yamuna Bhavavali Song 26

1

hari he tumi jagatera pitā tumi
jagatera mātā doyita tanoya hari tumi
tumi suhṛn mitra guru tumi gati
kalpa-taru twadīya-sambandha-mātra āmi

Oh my Lord Hari! You are the Father of the universe; You are the Mother of the universe, as well as the Lover and son of all beings. You are the most dearly beloved friend of the heart, the spiritual master of all, the ultimate refuge and the divine purpose-tree that fulfills everyone's desires...

2

taba bhṛtya parijana gati-prārthi
akiñcana prapanna tomāra śrī-caraṇe
taba sattwa taba dhana tomāra
pālita jana āmāra mamatā taba jane

...But my relationship with You is simply that of Your insignificant menial servant, Your humble attendant, always praying for Your shelter, surrendered at Your divine lotus feet. I am simply Your plaything, Your property, Your protected servant; my only identification is my personal attachment to being Your devotee.

e bhaktibinoda koya ahantā-mamatā
noya śrī-kṛṣṇa-sambandha-abhimāne
sebāra sambandha dhori ' ahantā-mamatā
kori ' tad- itare prākṛta bidhāne

Bhaktivinoda says that there is no relationship of "I and mine" other than this true conception of being related to Krsna as His eternal servant. Maintaining this position of eternal service, he thus accepts the real principle of "I and mine" which is the natural, unchangeable relationship with Krsna and all His devotees. Anything besides that would just be material and temporary.
