10 versionsMind, body, and family, whatever may be mine, I have surrendered at Your lotus feet, O youthful son of Nanda!
In good fortune or bad, in life or death, all my difficulties have disappeared because I have chosen those lotus feet of Yours as my only shelter.
Slay me or protect me as You wish, for You are the master of Your eternal servant.
If it is Your will that I be born again, then may it be in the home of Your devotee.
Let me be born again even as a worm, as long as I may remain Your devotee. I have no desire to be born as a Brahmā averse to You.
I yearn for the company of that devotee who is completely free of all desire for worldly enjoyment or liberation.
Father, mother, lover, son, Lord, preceptor, husband—You are everything to me.
Bhaktivinoda says, "O Kāna, please hear me! O Lord of Rādhā, You are my life and soul!"
