TRANSLATION
1)
O venerable Vaisnava. O ocean of mercy,
be merciful unto your servant. Give me the shade of your lotus feet and purify
me. I hold on to your lotus feet.
2)
Teach me to control my six passions; rectify my six faults, bestow upon me the
six qualities, and offer unto me the six kinds of holy association.*
3)
I do not find the strength to carry on alone the sankirtana
of the holy name of Hari. Please bless me by giving
me just one drop of faith with which to obtain the great treasure of the holy
name of Krsna.
4)
Krsna is yours. You have the power to give Him to me. I am simply your servant
running behind you shouting, "Krsna! Krsna!"
REMARKS/EXTRA INFORMATION:
*The
six passions are those pertaining to words, the mind, anger, the tongue, the
stomach and the genitals. The six faults are overeating, attachment to material
things, inability to follow regulative principles, sense gratification, useless
idle talk, and impure habits. The six positive qualities are enthusiasm in
practicing devotional service, firm faith in devotional processes, a strong
desire to attain prema-bhakti, a favorable service
attitude, avoidance of non-devotees, and appreciation of the company of
devotees. The six methods of association are to go to an assembly of devotees,
to invite devotees into one's home, to discuss and hear devotional topics, to
take the maha-prasada of devotees and to offer maha-prasada to devotees.
