TRANSLATION

1. O my dear brothers! Just pass your lives by adhering to the proper path of religiosity. Constantly chant Hari-nama, O brothers, for other than Lord Hari you have no friend.

2. Accepting whatever livelihood that suits you, just live your life honestly. Fill your mouths with the constant chanting of “Hari! Hari!” This is the only alms I beg of you!

3. Remain absorbed in the lotus feet of Lord Gauranga, renounce all other ambitions, and worship Vrajendra-Nandan. If you would do this much, then I will experience great pleasure.

4. I am Cand Baul Das, and I wish only to receive your mercy. I have informed you of my desires, for I sing as I have been personally ordered by Lord Nityananda.
