O my Lord, You are the only worshipable person, for You are the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the reservoir of all opulences. Your secure lotus feet are the only source of protection for all Your devotees, whom You satisfy by manifesting Yourself in various forms. O my Lord, You deliver Your devotees from the clutches of material existence. Nondevotees, however, remain entangled in material existence by Your will. Kindly accept me as Your eternal servant.
Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
I worship wholeheartedly the Lord with lotus feet, the highest shelter of all six qualities, the ornament of the devotees, the object of meditation for Brahmā, the destroyer of material life, who has prema for me, your servant. Bhaje bhaje ni ā araṇa-pada-paṅkajam means I worship wholeheartedly he who has lotus feet. Out of joy he repeats the verb. Bhagasya means “possessing the six qualities.” Bhakteṣv alam means “who remains like an ornament for the devotees.” Bhāvita-bhūta-bhāvanam means “he upon whom Brahmā meditates” or “he by whom Brahmā is created.” I worship you (tvā), who have prema for me, Śiva (bhava-bhāvam).
