pāpe purala pṛthibī parisara pekhi parama dayāla prema-paya paripūrṇa payo-nidhi prakaṭa praṇata-pāla

Seeing that the earth was filled with sins, the supremely merciful Lord, the protector of the surrendered souls, flooded the earth with an ocean of ecstatic spiritual love.

2 Refrain
pahuṁ patita-pābana nāma paśupa preyasī pirīti para-rasa praṇaya pīyūṣa dhāma
Translation

He who bears the name Patita-pāvana (purifier of the fallen) is the Supreme Lord. He is the abode of the nectar of spiritual love. He is Lord Krsna, for whom the gopis feel the sweet nectar of love.

praṇata-pālaka padabī pāla-i pūraba parikara meli pracura pātaki-pāpa parihara pāda pariṇata keli
Translation

He who is the protector of the surrendered souls came to this world, met with His previous associates, enjoyed pastimes, and removed the sins of this world.

pūja-i paśupati padma āsana pāda-paṅkaja-dwandwa para pañca pathe paḍi pekhi nā pekhala jagadānanda andha
Translation

Śiva and Brahmā worship His lotus feet. Blind Jagadānanda, who stumbles as he walks on the path, even if he looks, cannot see Him.
