bhaktyaikayanyatra krita-

     rtha-manino dhiras tad etan na vayam tu vidmah

shri-radhika-madhava-

     vallabham nah sada navadvipa-vanam tu samsrayah

 

aneka pandita-gana ekatra manase,

kritartha manaya anya tirthera manase

se saba amara nahi bujhi bare pari,

navadvipa-vana matra asraya vicari

 

Translation by Swami Gaurangapada:

 

“A sober devotee may feel proud and satisfied by practicing pure unalloyed devotional service in some other place or tirtha. I am not interested in knowing whether he is successful or not, because I shall personally always take full shelter of the forests of Navadvipa, which are very dear to Shri Shri Radhika-Madhava.
