(1)
dehātma buddhi yār sei jaḍa deha
sei dehe āsvādana nāhi kore keha
(2)
vaiṣṇavete jāti buddhi prabala pracura
līlā āsvādane kintu baḍa bāhādura
(3)
ḍāka gharera kerānī eka gosāñī ṭhakura
bābājī praṇām kare tāhāre pracura
(4)
gosāñī ṭhākura kore jāti abhimān
nityānanda prabhuvare kore khāna khāna

TRANSLATION

1) One who has the material concept that the body is his self cannot relish spiritual mellows.

2) But those who have conceptions of the Vaisnavas are very bold when it comes to relishing the lilas of the Lord.

3) Like the clerk in the post office, one goswami is as such. The babajis all pay their obeisances to him a lot.

4) To the goswami caste who has a great deal of false ego, Lord Nityananda has come to smash their ego to pieces.
