Translation
1) I offer my humble obeisances to Lord Krishna, the Lord of Yadu dynasty. He removes the sorrows of His devotees. He is the consort of Goddess Maha Lakshmī. He is the slayer of the demon Keshi. 2) Srī Krishna is the protector of the cows and the cowherds. He is the Lord of the universe. He is omnipresent in His creation. He is the slayer of the demon Madhu. He lifted the sacred Govardhan mountain to save the people of Vraj. He is the Lord of the gopis. He is the God of Love enchanting all. 3) All glories to Srī Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and Srī Nityānandā Prabhu! All glories to Srī Advaita Acharya and his consort, Srī Sītā Thakurānī! All glories to Lord Hari, the spiritual Master, the Vaishnavas, Srīmad Bhāgavatam, and Bhagavad Gītā! 4) All glories to Srī Rūpa Gosvami, Sanātana Gosvami, Raghunātha Bhatta Gosvami, Srī Jīva Gosvami, Gopāla Bhatta Gosvami, and Raghunātha Dāsa Gosvami! 5) I offer my obeisances to the Feet of these six Goswamis. By bowing to them, all obstacles to devotion are destroyed and all spiritual desires are fulfilled. 6) I am the servant of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Who is the Lord of the six Goswamis. Their lotus food dust is my Mahaprasad (five kinds of foodstuffs), my life and soul. 7) Birth after birth, I desire to serve the Lotus Feet of the six Goswamis and always live in the association of pure Vaishnavas. 8) When the six Goswamis lived in Vraja, they revealed the lost holy places and the eternal pastimes of Srī Rādhā and Srī Krishna. 9) In bliss say the Name of the Lord and worship the transcendental realm of Vrindāvan while absorbing your mind in meditation upon the Lotus Feet of the spiritual Master and the vaishnavas. 10) Hoping to attain the cherished service to the Lotus Feet of the Guru and the Vaishnavas, narottama Das Thakura (we all) sings this sankirtana of the holy names of the Lord.
