Gītā-mālā

(1)
hari he
veda-vidhi-anusāre, karma kari’ e saṁsāre
punaḥ punaḥ jīva janma pāya
pūrva-kṛta-karma-phale, tomāra vā icchā-bale
janma yadi labhi punarāya

O Hari! By acting in this world according to the injunctions of the Vedas, the jīva takes birth again and again. If, by the results of previous actions or by Your will, I should obtain another birth…

(2)
tabe eka kathā mama, śuna he puruṣottama
tava dāsa-saṅgi-jana-ghore
kīṭa-janma yadi haya, tāhāteo dayāmaya
rahiba he santuṣṭa antare

…then hear this one request of mine, O Puruṣottama: if I should be born even as an insect in the home of one associated with Your servants, O Compassionate One, I shall remain inwardly satisfied.

(3)
tava dāsa-saṅga-hīna, ye gṛhastha ārvacīna
tā’ra gṛhe caturmukha-vibhūti
nā hao kakhana hari, kara-dvaya joḍa kari’
kare bhaktivinoda minati

O Hari, with folded hands Bhaktivinoda makes this prayer – “May I never be born in the house of a foolish householder who is devoid of the association of Your servants, even if that house possesses the opulence of four-faced Brahmā.”
