hari he
tava pada-paṅkajinī, jīvāmṛta-sañcāriṇī
ati-bhāgye jīva tāhā pāya
se amṛta pāna kari’, mugdha haya tāhā hari
āra tāhā chāḍite nā cāya
O Hari! Your lotus feet distribute the nectar of life. Only by great good fortune does a jīva attain it. Drinking that nectar, one becomes captivated and no longer desires to give it up.

niviṣṭa haiyā tāya, anya sthāne nāhi yāya
anya rasa tuccha kari’ mane
madhu-pūrṇa-padma-sthita, madhuvrata kadācita
nāhi cāya ikhu-daṇḍa-pāne
Becoming absorbed in it, one does not go elsewhere, considering all other tastes insignificant. A bee situated in a honey-filled lotus never desires the juice of sugarcane.

e bhaktivinoda kabe, se paṅkaja-sthita ha’be
nāhi yā’be saṁsārābhimukhe
bhakta-kṛpā bhakti-bala, ei duiṭi su-sambala
pāile se sthiti ghaṭe sukhe
This Bhaktivinoda says: When will I become situated at those lotus feet and no longer turn toward worldly existence? By obtaining these two excellent supports – the mercy of the devotees and the strength of bhakti – that state is happily attained.
