Birale Vasiyā Ekeśwara

Sitting in a secluded place, without stop the Supreme Personality of Godhead chants the holy name of Lord Kṛṣṇa.

He is the crest jewel of all avatāras. He is the cintāmaṇi jewel of all sannyāsīs.

Fragrant sandal paste anoints His forehead. No stain touches Him.

Even in dreams jewel ornaments do not touch Him.

He has turned away from pastimes with Goddess Lakṣmī. Now He sits undera tree.

He has put down His flute and forest-garland. Now He grasps a sannyāsī's daṇḍa.

He has turned away from pastimes of joking and laughter. Now tears stream from the blossoming flowers of His eyes.

Now His only wealth is the treasure of pure spiritual love. He stays amongst the deevotees, who count that as their only wealth.

Now He showers monsoons of tears from His eyes. Vāsu says: Now my life's breath is breaking into pieces.
