śrī-kṛṣṇa-caitanya prabhu dayā kara more
tomā binā ke dayālu jagata-saṁsāre (1)

patita-pāvana-hetu tava avatāra
mosama patita prabhu nā pāibe āra (2)

hā hā prabhu nityānanda, premānanda sukhī
kṛpābalokana kara āmi baḍa duḥkhī (3)

dayā kara sītā-pati adwaita gosāi
tava kṛpā-bale pāi caitanya-nitāi (4)

hā hā swarūp, sanātana, rūpa, raghunātha
bhaṭṭa-yuga, śrī-jīva hā prabhu lokanātha (5)

dayā kara śrī-ācārya prabhu śrīnivāsa
rāmacandra-saṅga māge narottama-dāsa (6)

1) My dear Lord Caitanya, please be merciful to me, because who can be more merciful than Your Lordship within these three worlds?

2) Your incarnation is just to reclaim the conditioned, fallen souls, but I assure You that You will not find a greater fallen soul than me. Therefore, my claim is first.

3) My dear Lord Nityananda, You are always joyful in spiritual bliss. Since You always appear very happy, I have come to You because I am most unhappy. If You kindly put Your glance over me, then I may also become happy.

4) My dear Advaita Prabhu, husband of Sita, You are so kind. Please be merciful to me. If You are kind to me, naturally Lord Caitanya and Nityananda will also be kind to me.

6) O Svarupa Damodara, personal secretary of Lord Caitanya, O six Gosvamis O Sri Rupa Gosvami, Sri Sanatana Gosvami, Sri Raghunatha Bhatta Gosvami, Sri Gopala Bhatta Gosvami, Sri Jiva Gosvami, and Sri Raghunatha dasa Gosvami! O Lokanatha Gosvami, my beloved spiritual master! Narottama dasa also prays for your mercy.

7) O Srinivasa Acarya, successor to the six Gosvamis! Please be merciful to me. Narottama dasa always desires the company of Ramacandra Cakravarti.

কৃপাবলোকন কর আমি বড় দুঃখী (৩)

দয়া কর সীতা-পতি অদ্বৈত গোসাঞি
তব কৃপা-বলে পাই চৈতন্য-নিতাই (৪)

पुनः प्रार्थना
(श्रीचैतन्यमहाप्रभु एवं उनके संगियों की कृपा हेतु पुनः प्रार्थना)

श्रीकृष्णचैतन्य प्रभु दया कर मोरे।
तोमा बिना के दयालु जगत-संसारे ॥१॥

पतितपावन हेतु तव अवतार।
मोसम पतित प्रभु ना पाइबे आर ॥२॥

हा हा प्रभु नित्यानन्द ! प्रेमानन्द सुखी।
कृपावलोकन कर आमि बड़ दुःखी ॥३॥

दया कर सीतापति अद्वैत गोसाइ।
तव कृपाबले पाइ चैतन्य-निताइ ॥४॥

हा हा स्वरूप, सनातन, रूप, रघुनाथ।
भट्टयुग, श्रीजीव, हा प्रभु लोकनाथ ॥५॥

दया कर श्रीआचार्य प्रभु श्रीनिवास ।
रामचन्द्रसंग मागे नरोत्तमदास ॥६॥

हे श्रीकृष्णचैतन्य महाप्रभु! मुझपर दया कीजिए।इस संसार में आपके समान दयालु और कौन है?

हे प्रभु! पतितों को पावन करने हेतु ही आपका अवतार हुआ है, अतः मेरे समान पतित आपको और कहीं नहीं मिलेगा।

हे नित्यानंद प्रभु! आप तो सदैव गौरांगदेव के प्रेमानन्द में मत्त रहते हैं। कृपापूर्वक मेरे प्रति आप दृष्टिपात कीजिए, क्योंकि मैं बहुत दुःखी हूँ।

हे अद्वैतआचार्य! आप मुझपर कृपा कीजिए क्योंकि आपके कृपाबल से ही चैतन्य-निताई के चरणों की प्राप्ति संभव हो सकती है।

हे श्रील स्वरूप दामोदर गोस्वामी! हे श्रील सनातन गोस्वामी! हे श्रील रूप गोस्वामी! हे श्रील रघुनाथदास गोस्वामी! हे श्रील रघुनाथ भट्ट गोस्वामी! हे श्रील गोपाल भट्ट गोस्वामी! हे श्रील जीव गोस्वामी! तथा श्रील लोकनाथ गोस्वामी! आप सब मुझपर कृपा कीजिए, ताकि मुझे श्री चैतन्य-चरणों की प्राप्ति हो।

PURPORT
His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Svāmī Prabhupāda

This is a song composed by Narottama dāsa Thakura. He prays to Lord Caitanya, “My dear Lord, please be merciful upon me, because who can be more merciful than Your Lordship within these three worlds?” Actually, this is a fact. Not only Narottama dāsa Thakura, but Rūpa Gosvāmī also prayed to Lord Caitanya in this way. At the time of the first meeting of Lord Caitanya and Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī at Prayāga, (Allahabad), Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī said, “My dear Lord, You are the most munificent of all incarnations because You are distributing love of Krşņa, Krsna consciousness.” When Krsna was personally present, He simply asked us to surrender, but He did not distribute Himself so eas- ily. He made the condition: “First of all you surrender.” But here in this incarnation, Lord Caitanya, although He’s Krsna Himself, He makes no condition. He simply distributes, “Take love of Krsna.” Therefore Lord Caitanya is approved as the most munificent incarnation. Narottama dāsa Thakura says, “Please be merciful upon me. You are so magnanimous because You have seen the fallen souls of this age, and You are very much compassionate upon them. But you should know also that I am the most fallen. Nobody is more fallen than me,” Patita-pāvana-hetu tava avatara, “Your incarnation is just to reclaim the conditioned souls, fallen souls. But I assure You that You will not find a greater fallen soul than me. Therefore my claim is first.”

Then he prays to Lord Nityananda. He says, hā hā prabhu nityananda, premānanda sukhī, “My dear Lord Nityananda, You are always joyful in spiritual bliss, and You always appear very happy. So I have come to You because I am most unhappy. So if You kindly put Your glance over me, I may also become happy.” Then he prays to Advaita Prabhu: hā hā prabhu sītā-pati advaita gosāi. Advaita Prabhu’s wife’s name was Sītā, therefore He is sometimes addressed as sītā-pati. So Narottama dāsa Thakura prays, “My dear Advaita Prabhu, the husband of Sītā, You are so kind. Please be kind upon me. If You become kind upon me, then naturally Lord Caitanya and Nityananda will also be kind to me.” Actually Advaita Prabhu invited Lord Caitanya to come down. When Advaita Prabhu saw the fallen souls all engaged simply in sense gratificatory processes without understanding Krsna consciousness, He felt very much compas- sionate upon the fallen souls, and He also felt Himself incapable of claim- ing them all. He therefore prayed to Lord Krşņa, “You come Yourself. Without Your personal presence, it is not possible to deliver these fallen souls.” Thus by His invitation Lord Caitanya appeared. “Narottama dāsa Thakura prays to Advaita Prabhu, “If You be kind to me, naturally Lord Caitanya and Nityananda will also be kind to me.”

Then he prays to the Gosvāmīs: hā hā svarūpa, sanātana, rūpа, raghunatha. Svarūpa refers to Svarūpa Damodara, the personal secre- tary of Lord Caitanya. He was always with Caitanya Mahāprabhu, and immediately arranged for whatever Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu wanted. Two personal attendants, Svarūpa Damodara and Govinda were always constantly with Lord Caitanya. Therefore Narottama dāsa Thakura also prays to Svarūpa Damodara, then to the six Gosvāmīs, then next to the disciples of Lord Caitanya-Śrī Rūpa, Śrī Sanātana, Śrī Bhatta Raghunatha, Śrī Gopāla Bhatta Gosvāmī, Jīva Gosvāmī, and Raghunatha dāsa Gosvami. These six Gosvāmīs were directly instructed by Lord Caitanya to spread this movement of Krsna consciousness. Narottama dāsa Thakura also prays for their mercy.

After the six Gosvāmīs the next ācārya was Śrīnivāsa ņcārya. Actually, Narottama dāsa Thakura was in the disciplic succession after Śrīnivāsa ņcārya. Śrīnivāsa ncārya was almost his contemporary. And Narottama dāsa Thakura’s personal friend was Rāmacandra Kavirāja. Therefore he prays, “I always desire the company of Ramacandra.” He desires a devotee’s company. The whole process is that we should always be praying for the mercy of the superior ācāryas and keep company with pure devotees. Then it will be easier for us to advance in Krşņa conscious- ness and receive the mercy of Lord Caitanya and Lord Krşņa. This is the sum and substance of this song sung by Narotama dāsa Thakura.
