hari he
tumi jagatera pitā, tumi jagatera mātā
dayita tanaya hari tumi
tumi suhṛt mitra guru, tumi gati kalpa-taru
tvadīya-sambandha-mātra āmi
O Hari! You are the father of the universe, You are the mother of the universe. You are the beloved and the son. You are the well-wisher, the friend, and the guru. You are the refuge and the wish-fulfilling tree. I am simply one related to You.

tava bhṛtya parijana, gati-prārthī akiñcana
prapanna tomāra śrī-caraṇe
tava sattva tava dhana, tomāra pālita jana
āmāra mamatā tava jane
Your servant, Your attendant, destitute and seeking shelter, surrendered at Your feet. I am Your possession, Your wealth, one maintained by You. My sense of possessiveness is toward Your people.

e bhaktivinoda kaya, ahantā-mamatā naya
śrī-kṛṣṇa-sambandha-abhimāne
sevāra sambandha dhari’, ahantā-mamatā kari’
tad-itare prākṛta vidhāne
Bhaktivinoda says – “True ‘I-ness’ and ‘my-ness’ arise from identification with one’s relationship to Śrī Kṛṣṇa. Accepting the relationship of service, I maintain this sense of ‘I’ and ‘mine’; apart from that, it belongs to the material arrangement.”
