bhakati-ratana-khani ughāḍiyā prema-maṇi nija guṇa soṇāya muḍiyā uttama adhama nā-i yāre dekhe tāra tāṅ-i dāna kare jagata juḍiyā
Translation

He opened the mine bearing the jewels of devotional service. He gathered the jewels of ecstatic spiritual love. He added the gold of His own spiritual virtues. He did not see that one person was higher an another was lower. He gave these jewels and gold to every person. He filled the world with cooling bliss.

śuniyā nitāira guṇa kemana karaye mana tāhā ki kahite pāri bhā-i lākhe lākhe haya mukha tabe se manera sukha nitāi-candera guṇa gāya
Translation

What does my heart feel now that I have heard of Lord Nitāi's glories? O my brother, how can I describe it? I pray that I may have millions and millions of mouths. Then my heart will be happy. Then I be able to sing the glories of Lord Nitāicandra.

emana dayāra ṭhāṅ-i kothā-o śuniyā nā-i āchuka dekhāra kāja dūre (yāra) nāme-i ānandamaya sakala bhubana haya tāra lāgi kebā nāhi jhure
Translation

I have heard that Lord Nitāi has given His mercy to everyone. Someone I have not yet attained it. It stays far away from me. By chanting Lored Nitāi's holy names the whole world is now filled with bliss. Why, then, do tears of bliss not stream from my eyes?

pāṣāṇa samāna hiya seho yāya milā-iyā yāra guṇa gā-ite śunite kahe ghanaśyāma dāsa yāra nāhi biśoyāsa se-i se pāṣaṇḍī abanīta
Translation

Even though I have met Lord Nitāi, and even though I hear and chant His glories, my heart remains like stone. Ghanaśyāma says: It must be that i have no faith in Lord Nitāi. I am the greatest offender on the earth.
