gauranga karuna koro, dina hina jane
mo-samo patita prabhu, nahi tri-bhuvane (1)

O my dear Sri Gauranga! Please show your mercy to this lowly and destitute soul. O Lord! There is no one more fallen than myself in all the three worlds.


dante trna dhori’ gaura, daki he tomar
krpa kori’ eso amar, hrdoya mandire (2)

Holding grass between my teeth, O Gaura, I am calling out to you! Please be compassionate upon me and come to reside within the temple of my heart.


jadi doya na koribe, patita dekhiya
patita pavana nama, kisera lagiya (3)

If you do not give your mercy, seeing how fallen I am, then how can you be known as Patita Pavana, the merciful saviour of the fallen?


podeci bhava tuphane, nahika nistar
sri carana tarani dane, dase koro par (4)

I am plunged amidst the violent hurricane-stricken waves in the ocean of material existence, from which there is no escape. Kindly give me the gift of your divine lotus feet, which are compared to a boat in which your servants can cross over the ocean of birth and death.


sri krsna caitanya prabhu, daser anudas
prarthana koraye sada, narottam das (5)

Narottam Das, the servant of the servant of Sri Krishna Caitanya, constantly offers this prayer.
