The Brāhmaṇas' Wives Offer Prayers to Lord Kṛṣṇa
(Mallāra-rāga)
ki kariba swāmī putra saba bandhu-jan
tomāra smaraṇe ghuce sakala bandhan
O Lord, what can our husbands, children, and relatives do to stop us from taking shelter of Your feet? When someone remembers You, all the bonds of material existence are broken.
Now that we have seen Your lotus feet, we do not like the touch of our husbands.
swāmī-
You are our husband. You are our children. You are our relatives. You are our friend. You are Nārāyaṇa. We desire You.
Why should we return to the doors of our homes? Our homes are māyā. Except You, nothing is true. Everything else is the bewildering riddle posed by Māyā.
No one has the power to understand or describe all of Your limitless glories in this world.
Śiva, Śukadeva, Nārada, Prahlāda, Bali, Sanaka, Sanātana, and Dhruva may understand a little something of Your glories.
Brahmā and all the sages cannot find the end of Your glories. All the devotees sing about Your transcendental virtues.
You are Lord Nārāyaṇa. In Your humanlike form You enjoy pastimes in Vṛndāvana.
We will see You again and again in our thoughts. How many austerities did we perform in our past births that we can now see You with our eyes?
O Lord Nārāyaṇa, we beg You: please be merciful and accept this food we bring to You. Now with our own eyes we can see Your feet.
After many births, we have attained Your feet. Now our lives are a success.
