Text 1
āmāra samāna hīna nāhi e soṁsāre
asthira ha’yechi poḍi’ bhaba pārābāre
In this world no one is fallen like me. Drowning in the ocean of birth and death, I am very anxious.

kuladebī jogamāyā more kṛpā kori’
ābaraṇa sambaribe kabe biśwodarī
O Goddess Yogamāyā, O the mother of the worlds, when will you be merciful to me and remove this veil of illusions?
Text 3
śunechi āgame bede mahimā tomāra
śrī-kṛṣṇa-bimukhe bāndhi karāo soṁsāra
In the Vedas and Agamas I have heard your glories. The souls who have turned away from Lord Kṛṣṇa you imprison in the world of birth and death.
Text 4
śrī-kṛṣṇa-sāmmukhya jā’ra bhāgya-krame hoya
tā’re mukti diyā koro’ aśoka abhoya
To the fortunate souls who try to turn toward Lord Kṛṣṇa you give liberation. You free them from fear and grief.
Text 5
e dāse janani kori’ akaitaba doyā
bṛndābane deha’ sthāna tumi jogamāyā
O mother, please be merciful to this servant. Please don’t cheat him. O Yogamāyā, please give him a place in Vṛndāvana.
Text 6
tomāke laṅghiyā kothā jībe kṛṣṇa pāya
kṛṣṇa-rasa prakaṭilo tomāra kṛpāya
How can a person who neglects you find Lord Kṛṣṇa? It is by your mercy that the nectar of Lord Kṛṣṇa is openly visible.
Text 7
tumi kṛṣṇa-sahacarī jagata-jananī
tumi dekhāile more kṛṣṇa-cintāmaṇi
You are Lord Kṛṣṇa’s companion. You are the mother of the worlds. You showed me the cintāmaṇi jewel that is Lord Kṛṣṇa.
Text 8
niṣkapaṭa ho’ye mātā cāo mora pāne
baiṣṇaba biśwāsa bṛddhi ha’ka prati-khaṇe
O mother, I sincerely desire that my faith in the Vaiṣṇavas will grow moment after moment.
Text 9
baiṣṇaba-caraṇa binā bhaba-parābāra
bhakatibinoda nāre hoibāre pāra
Without taking shelter of the Vaiṣṇavas’ feet, Bhaktivinoda has no power to cross to the farther shore of the ocean of birth and death.
