Gauranga Karuna Koro
"Be Merciful Lord
Gauranga"
By Mahabhagavata Shrila
Narottama dasa Thakura
Translated by Swami
Gaurangapada.
(1)
gauranga karuna koro,
dina hina jane
mo-samo patita prabhu,
nahi tri-bhuvane
1) "O my dear Lord
Gauranga Mahaprabhu! Please bestow Your causeless mercy upon this lowly,
destitute and insignificant soul. O Lord! There is no one more fallen and
downtrodden than myself in all the three worlds."
(2)
dante trna dhori' gaura,
daki he tomar
krpa kori' eso amar,
hrdoya mandire
2) "Humbly holding
straw between my teeth, O Lord Gauranga, I am desperately calling out to You
now loudly! Please be compassionate upon me and come now to reside within the temple
of my heart forever."
(3)
jadi doya na koribe,
patita dekhiya
patita pavana nama,
kishera lagiya
3) "If You do not
give me Your supreme mercy, seeing how fallen and condemned I am, then how can
You claim to own Your Name of Patita Pavana which means the merciful Savior of
the most fallen?
(4)
podechi bhava tuphane,
nahika nistar
shri charana tarani dane,
dase koro par
4) "I am plunged
amidst the violent hurricane-stricken waves in the ocean of this material world
which are constantly battering me. Feeling totally lost, I see no means to
escape from this deluge. Quickly give me the shelter of Your supremely divine
Lotus Feet and Holy Names, which will act like a divine boat in which Your
servant (me) will be able to cross over this expansive ocean of birth and
death.
(5)
shri krishna chaitanya
prabhu, daser anudas
prarthana koraye sada,
narottam das
5) "Narottama Dasa, the
servant of the servant of Lord Shri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, ceaselessly
makes this prayer at the Lotus Feet of Lord Gauranga Mahaprabhu and begs Him to
fulfill it."
