vaiṣṇavera ucchiṣṭa tāhe mora mana-niṣṭha vaiṣṇavera nāmete ullāsa vṛndāvane cautārā tāhe mora mana-gherā kahe dīna narottama dāsa
Word for word

My mind is firmly convinced of the spiritual benefit obtained by eating the remnants of foodstuff left by the devotees. The names of the devotees are my happiness. The land of Vrndavana is the enclosure within which I keep my mind. Poor-hearted Narottama dasa speaks in this way.
