TRANSLATION

1-2) Out of compassion for the fallen souls, Sri Krisna Caitanya came to this world with His personal associates and divine abode to teach saranagati (the goal of surrender), surrender to the almighty Godhead, and to freely distribute ecstatic love of God, which is ordinarily very difficult to obtain. This saranagati is the very life of the true devotee

3-4) The ways of saranagati are humility, dedication of the self, acceptance of the Lord as one’s only maintainer, faith that Krishna will surely protect, execution of only those acts favorable to pure devotion, and renunciation of conduct adverse to pure devotion.

5) The youthful son of Nanda Maharaja, Sri Krishna, hears the prayers of anyone who takes refuge in Him by this six-fold practice.

6-7) Bhaktivinoda places a straw between his teeth, prostrates himself before the two Goswamis, Sri Rupa and Sri Sanatana, and clasps their lotus feet with his hands. “I am certainly the lowest of men.” he tells them weeping, “but please make me the best of men by teaching me the ways of saranagati”

TRANSLATION

1) I did not worship Lord Gauranga Prabhu and thus I became full of suffering.  I refused to accept the treasure of pure love of Krsna, and thus I became lost.

2) I reject the treasure of love of Krsna and deliberately struggled to become poor.  I dived into a host of sinful deeds.

3) I rejected the association of the saintly devotees, and instead tried to enjoy among the impious non-devotees.  In this way I became caught in the noose of karma.

4) I continually drank the virulent poison of sense-gratification.  I refused to swim in the nectar of Lord Caitanya's sankirtana movement.

5) Why do I stay alive?  What happiness do I have?  Why did Narottama dasa not die long ago?

I offer my respectful obeisances unto the six Gosvamis, namely Sri Rupa Gosvami, Sri Sanatana Gosvami, Sri Raghunatha Bhatta Gosvami, Sri Raghunatha Dasa Gosvami, Sri Jiva Gosvami, and Sri Gopala Bhatta Gosvami, who are always engaged in chanting the holy name of Krishna and dancing. They are just like the ocean of love of God, and they are popular both with the gentle and with the ruffians, because they are not envious of anyone. Whatever they do, they are all-pleasing to everyone, and they are fully blessed by Lord Caitanya. Thus they are engaged in missionary activities meant to deliver all the conditioned souls in the material universe.

Significado e Tradução por Sua Divina Graça A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami

O brāhmaṇas, na nona encarnação, o Senhor orou pelos sábios, aceitou o corpo de um rei [Pṛthu] que cultivava a terra para produzir vários produtos, e por essa razão a terra era bonita e atraente.

Antes do advento do rei Pṛthu, houve um grande estrago de má administração devido à vida cruel do rei anterior, o pai de Mahārāja Pṛthu. A classe inteligente dos homens (a saber, os sábios e os brāhmaṇas) não apenas orou para que o Senhor descesse, mas também destronou o rei anterior. É dever do rei ser piedoso e, assim, cuidar do bem-estar geral dos cidadãos. Sempre que há alguma negligência por parte do rei no cumprimento de seu dever, a classe inteligente dos homens deve destroná-lo. A classe inteligente de homens, no entanto, não ocupa o trono real, porque eles têm deveres muito mais importantes para o bem-estar do público. Em vez de ocupar o trono real, eles oraram pela encarnação do Senhor, e o Senhor veio como Mahārāja Pṛthu. Homens realmente inteligentes ou brāhmaṇas qualificados nunca aspiram a cargos políticos. Mahārāja Pṛthu escavou muitos produtos da terra e, assim, não apenas os cidadãos ficaram felizes por ter um rei tão bom, mas a visão completa da terra também se tornou bonita e atraente.
