uttāraṇe 'sya bhava-sambhava-lopa-hetoḥ

mūḍheṣu vai mahad-anugraha ārta-bandho

kiṁ tena te priya-janān anusevatāṁ naḥ

Guru of all beings! O Lord! What effort is required for you to deliver everyone, since you are the cause of creation, maintenance and destruction of the universe? O friend of the suffering! You are most compassionate to the fools. But why do you have to deliver us? We simply serve your dear devotees and get delivered.

 

“How can I alone deliver all people?” You are the guru of all beings. Therefore, all people should be delivered, since it is possible for you alone, who take the form of guru, to expand yourself into billions of forms. You should not say you do not have that ability. If you are the cause of the creation, maintenance and destruction of the universe, you should be the cause of delivering everyone. That is your duty. You are most compassionate to the foolish. “I will deliver you and those related to you. But do not be stubborn!” Why should I talk of your delivering us, since we will simply serve your devotees? We will be delivered automatically from the power of serving your devotee.

naivodvije para duratyaya-vaitaraṇyās

tvad-vīrya-gāyana-mahāmṛta-magna-cittaḥ

śoce tato vimukha-cetasa indriyārtha-

māyā-sukhāya bharam udvahato vimūḍhān

I am not disturbed by the insurmountable Vaitaraṇī of the material worlds, since my mind is absorbed in the great sweetness of singing your glories. I lament for the fools, averse to you, who carry the burden of material responsibilities for gaining material happiness from sense objects.

But I do not pray for deliverance from saṁsāra for my self. O Supreme Lord, the best among all! I am not disturbed by Vaitaraṇī, the river of hell, because I am absorbed in the great ocean of chanting your glories. But I lament for the fools who carry the burden of family and ornaments to get material happiness from sense objects.
