TRANSLATION
1)
What was my condition after repeatedly chanting the holy name? The realization
that "I am the eternal servant of Krsna" spontaneously became
manifest within my heart.
2)
I realized that I was ensnared in the noose of maya's
illusion, being trapped within this dull mundane universe, and that I simply
experience misery in various ways due to separation from Lord Govinda.
3)
Furthermore, I realized that I do not like this worldly existence. "Where
can I go to see Krsna?"-this was my great anxiety.
4)
Crying and crying, tears poured from my eyes, appearing just like torrents of
rain in the monsoon season.
5)
Unable to bear separation from Lord Govinda any
longer, for me the passing of a moment became like a hundred long ages.
6)
As I look about in all directions, the surface of the earth appears to be void,
and my very life-breath feels empty. What am I doing? What am I doing? I do not
feel at all tranquil, and the life within my body is slipping away.
7)
O residents of Vraja-dhama! Please save my life and
show me the Lord of Sri Radha! O consider
the prayers of this Bhaktivinoda and take him into
His company!
8)
I am unable to further tolerate this separation from my Lord Sri Krsna and am
ready to give up my life in two days or four.
