Prayer to the Vaishnava
(from Prarthana)
(1)
ei-baro karuna koro vaishnava gosai
patita-pavana toma bine keho nai
(2)
jahara nikate gele papa dure jay
emona doyala prabhu keba kotha pay
(3)
gangara parasa hoile pascate pavan
darsane pavitra koro—ei tomara gun
(4)
hari-sthane aparadhe tare hari-nam
toma sthane aparadhe nahi paritran
(5)
tomara hridoye sada govinda-visram
govinda kohena—mora vaishnava paran
(6)
prati-janme kori asa caranera dhuli
narottame koro doya apanara boli’

Translation:
(1) 0 Vaishnava Gosvami, please be merciful to me now. There is no one except you who can purify the fallen souls.
(2) Where does anyone find such a merciful personality by whose mere audience all sins go far away?
(3) After bathing in the waters of the sacred Ganges many times, one becomes purified, but just by the sight
of you, the fallen souls are purified. This is your great power.
(4) The holy name delivers one who has committed an offense to Lord Hari, but if one commits an offense to
you, there is no means of deliverance.
(5) Your heart is always the resting place of Lord Govinda, and Lord Govinda says, "The Vaishnavas are in
My heart."
(6) I desire the dust of your holy feet in every birth I may take. Please consider Narottama yours, and be
kind upon him.
