Rupanugatya-Mahatmya
The Glories of Following Shrila
Rupa Gosvami
Shrila Narottama dasa
Thakura
shuniyachi sadhu-mukhe bole sarva-jana
shri-rupa-kripaya mile yugala-carana (1)
From the sadhus’ lips I
have heard it told to everyone - by Shri Rupa’s mercy one can
attain Shri Yugala’s
lotus feet.
ha! ha! prabhu sanatana gaura-parivara
sabe mili’ vancha-purna karaha amara (2)
Alas, Sanatana Prabhu! O
eternal associates of Gauranga! Only when you give your
mercy [then Shri Rupa
will give his mercy], all my heart’s desires be fulfilled.
shri rupera kripa jena ama prati haya
se pada ashraya ja’ra, sei mahashaya (3)
Shri Rupa Gosvami, I want
only your mercy. He who takes your lotus feet as his shelter
is mahashaya, a great
personality.
prabhu lokanatha kabe sange laiya jabe
shri rupera pada-padme more samarpibe (4)
When will my holy master
Lokanatha Svami [who is also master of the whole world]
take me with him and
offer me at the lotus feet of Shri Rupa Manjari?
hena ki haibe mora - narma-sakhi-gane
anugata narottame karibe shasane (5)
When will that day come,
when Radha’s dearmost narma sakhis will give direct
instructions to
Narottama, accepting him as their intimate follower (anugata)?
