Translation
In my heart resides Lord Srinath Ji, the holy river Yamunaji and Mahaprabhuji. In my mind are Gokul and Vrindāvan. The courtyard of my body has the forest of the holy basil. This is my very life force. 1) In the courtyard of my soul is Lord Krishna. I behold Girid- hārīji holding the Govardhan mountain. I sacrifice my body and mind unto my Lord Krishna with dark complexion Who is the slayer of the demon Mura. 2) All the devotees of the Lord Vishnu are very dear to me. Everyday I pray to Srinathji to please Him. I received the darshan of Lord Srī Vallabh and He has enchanted my heart. 3) I serve Lord Vitthala every day. I worship Him 24 hours a day. I surrendered my soul at His Lotus Feet of Srinathji and made my life worth living. 4) I joined the spiritual path of devotion. I am in love with chanting and singing the praises of the Lord. I have been graced with the love for child Krishna to sing His glories. 5) I'll not get this opportunity ever again. May I not have to reincarnate again in this human body. May I not have to pass through the cycle of 8.4 million species. May I attain my sweet Lord. 6) Please listen to my request at the last moment of my life. O dear Lord, please be merciful and accept me in Your refuge. May Yamrāj (the demigod of death) never come to get me. But O my Lord, You please come to get me.
