TRANSLATION
1-2) Out of compassion for
the fallen souls, Sri Krisna Caitanya
came to this world with His personal associates and divine abode to teach saranagati, surrender to the almighty Godhead, and to
freely distribute ecstatic love of God, which is ordinarily very difficult to
obtain. This saranagati is the very life of the true
devotee
3-4) The
ways of saranagati are humility, dedication of the
self, acceptance of the Lord as ones only maintainer, faith that Krishna will
surely protect, execution of only those acts favorable to pure devotion, and
renunciation of conduct adverse to pure devotion.
5) The youthful son of Nanda Maharaja, Sri Krishna, hears the prayers of anyone
who takes refuge in Him by this six-fold practice.
6) Bhaktivinoda
places a straw between his teeth, prostrates himself before the two Goswamis, Sri Rupa and Sri Sanatana, and clasps their lotus feet with his hands. I am
certainly the lowest of men. he tells them weeping, but please make me the
best of men by teaching me the ways of saranagati
REMARKS/EXTRA INFORMATION:
