Translation:
(1) Lord Gaurasundara sings in a very sweet voice, Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare/ Hare
Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare.
(2) Whether you are a householder or a sannyasi, constantly chant "Hari! Hari!" Do not forget this
chanting, whether you are in a happy condition or a distressful one. Just fill your lips with the hari-nama.
(3) You are bound up in the network of maya and are forced to toil fruitlessly. Now you have obtained
full consciousness in the human form of life, so chant the names of Radha-Madhava.
(4) Your life may end at any moment, and you have not served the Lord of the senses, Hrishikesa. Take this
advice of Bhaktivinoda Thakura: "Just once, relish the nectar of the holy name!"
