bāra bāra ‘plyāna’ kare bāra bāra bhāṅge kakhana bhūmite paḍi kakhana ta’ paṅke
Word for word
bāra bāra again and again; plyāna kare making plans; bāra bāra again and again; bhāṅge breaks; kakhana sometimes; bhūmite on earth; paḍi fall; kakhana some times to even; paṅke the mud
Translation

Thus the conditioned soul repeatedly makes new plans for becoming materially happy. Again and again these plans fail. Sometimes, in pursuit of happiness, the living entity falls down on the hard ground, experiencing great pain at impact, and sometimes he falls in the soft mud, experiencing less pain at impact.

eirūpe brahmāṇda-bhari (jīva) karaye bramana guru-kṛṣṇa-kṛpāya pāya bhakti-nityadhana
Word for word
eirūpe this way; brahmāṇda-bhari filling the universe; jīva the souls; karaye bramana wander; guru-kṛṣṇa-kṛpāya by the mercy of spiritual master and Kṛṣṇa; pāya he receives; bhakti-nitya-dhana the eternal treasure of devotional service
Translation

In this way, the universes are filled with conditioned souls who are wandering all over these universes life after life. Only by the mercy of the bona-fide spiritual master and the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa, does the conditioned spirit soul receive the eternal treasure of pure devotional service to Lord Kṛṣṇa.

sei dhana mile yadi āra dhana chāḍe anāyāse cale yāya saṁsārera pāre
Word for word
sei that; dhana treasure; mile is procured; yadi if; āra other; dhana material treasure; chāḍe given up; anāyāse easily; cale-yāya goes; saṁsārera pāre over the material world
Translation

If, upon receiving that eternal treasure of pure devotional service to Kṛṣṇa, the living entity gives up the temporary attachment to material objects, then that fortunate soul easily crosses over the bondage of this material world of repeated birth and death.

bhavapāre āche cid-vaicitrya apāra nitya śānti nitya sukhe karaya vihāra
Word for word
bhava-pāre beyond the material realm; āche there is; cid-vaicitrya spiritual variety; apāra incomparable; nitya eternal; śānti peace; nitya eternal; sukhe in happiness; karaya vihāra plays, enjoys
Translation

There beyond the boundaries of this temporary material world is the eternal spiritual abode of the Lord, which is filled with incomparably wonderful transcendental variegatedness, an unlimited variety of spiritual opulences all inconceivably wonderful. There, in the spiritual world, the liberated soul relishes everlasting peace and eternal happiness.
