kīrtanera ańga śudhu nahe ḍhāka ḍhol
ādhunik dhārāya nahe kīrtaner rol

(2)
hari sevāra anukūla sakala-i mādhava
tri-jagater bhoktā hoy ekalā yādava

(3)
māyār vaibhava yata radior śabda
kīrtanera dvārā sadā koro tāhā stabdha

(4)
māyā kackaci saba saḿvādera patra
kīrtana koroho tāhe jagate sarvatra

(1) The component of kirtana is not always through drums. The sound of kirtana is not this modern system.
(2) Anything favorable for devotional service is all nondifferent from Madhava. The only enjoyer of the three worlds is Yadava.
(3) Maya’s pride and joy is in the words emanating from the radio. Destroy these words through the means of kirtana, always.
(4)  Maya’s is all these newspapers. Preach that throughout the whole world.
