1

mana re, keno āra barṇa abhimāna marile pātakī ho'ye jamadūte jā'be lo'ye nā koribe jātira sammāna

अर्थ

O my heart, why are you proud of my caste? When a sinner dies, the yamadūtas carry him away. They don't respect his noble birth.

2

jadi bhālo karma koro' swarga-bhoga ataḥ para tā'te bipra cāṇḍāla samāna narake-o dui jane daṇḍa pā'be eka sane janmāntare samana bidhāna

अर्थ

If they do good deeds, the brāhmaṇa and the outcaste alike go to Svargaloka. If they act badly, the brāhmaṇa and the outcaste alike are punished in hell. The same rules govern the future births of the brāhmaṇa and the outcaste.

3

tabe keno abhimāna lo'ye tuccha barṇa-māna maraṇa abadhi jā'ra māna ucca barṇa-pada dhori' barṇāntare ghṛṇā kori' narakera nā koro' sandhāna

अर्थ

Why are you proud? Pride of caste is petty. If till the moment of death you remain proud of your high caste and contemptuous of other castes, you will only beg to be sent to hell.

4

sāmājika māna lo'ye thāko bhāi bipra ho'ye baiṣṇabe nā koro apamāna ādara byāpāri ho'ye bibada jāhāja lo'ye kabhu nāhi kore' buddhimāna

अर्थ

O my brother, you may live as a brāhmaṇa and accept the honors others offer. Still, do not dishonor any Vaiṣṇava. A petty merchant is naturally respectful to a great merchant who owns many ships. He will not pick a fight, if he is intelligent

5

tabe jadi kṛṣṇa-bhakti sādha' tumi jathā-śakti sonāya sohāga pā'be sthāna sārthaka hoibe sūtra sarba-lābha ihā-mūtra binoda koribe stuti-gāna

अर्थ

If you serve Lord Kṛṣṇa as far as you are able, you will attain a great treasure. Your efforts will meet success. You will attain everything in this life and the next. Bhaktivinoda will sing your glories.
