Biśwe Udita Nāma Tapana

Rising in this world, the sun of the holy name destroys all ignorance. Turning from māyā's glories, the saintly devotees fall in love with the holy name.

O sun of Lord Hari's holy name, O destroyer of darkness and ignorance, who knows Your glories? Who is the learned person able to loudly explain all Your glories?

O sun of the holy name, when You first dimly appear on the horizon, the darkness of repeated birth and death is almost completely devoured.

Quickly destroying the darkness, You place transcendental knowledge on eyes that had been blind to the truth.

That knowledge gives birth to pure devotional service and to meditation on Lord Hari.

Bhaktivinoda again and again explains Your wonderful pastimes.
