Translation

O Lord! I have remained immersed in the defects of over-accumulating wealth, endeavouring for worldly ends, prattling about topics unrelated to You, acting in accordance with guidelines meant for others and disregarding guidelines meant for myself, associating with non-devotees, and being fickle-minded.

Translation

asthira siddhānte, rohinu mojiyā, hari-bhakti roilo dūre e hṛdoye mātro, para-hiṁsā, mada, pratiṣṭhā, śaṭhatā sphure asthira–unsteady

Thus devotion to You has remained far away from me. Only malice towards others, pride, desire for worldly prestige, and insincerity flourish within my heart.

Translation

e saba āgraha, chāḍite nārinu, āpana doṣate mari janama biphala, hoilo āmāra, ekhona ki kori, hari! e–these

I have not been able to abandon any of these attachments. I now die due to my own defects. My birth has become useless. O Lord! What should I do now?
