Anadi Karama Phale

nāno

Due to my past fruitive activities, I have fallen into this great ocean of nescience, and I do not find any means of getting out. Day and night my heart burns from the poison of these worldly activities, and so my mind is not at all satisfied.

I am always making hundreds and thousands of plans to become happy, but all these plans give me pain twenty-four hours a day. Indeed, I am being dashed again and again by the waves of the ocean of materialism. In addition, there are many thieves and rogues, of whom six are prominent: lust, anger, greed, envy, illusion, and madness. They are causing me great fear, and in this way my life is coming to an end.

The two thugs of mental speculation and fruitive activity have cheated me, misled me, and finally thrown me into the ocean of misery. Under the circumstances, my dear Kṛṣṇa, O ocean of mercy, You are my only friend. I have no strength to get out of this ocean of nescience, so I pray to Your lotus feet that You will be kind and by Your strength lift me out of this ocean of suffering.

Kindly lift up this fallen servant of Yours and fix me as one of the particles of dust at Your lotus feet. Please give this Bhaktivinoda shelter at Your lotus feet. I am Your eternal servant, but somehow or other I forgot You and have now fallen into this entangling network of Māyā. Kindly save me.
