Lyrics
Verse 1
jihva tane rasa prati upastha kadarthe udara bhojane tane visama anarthe
Verse 2
carmma tane sayadite, sravana kathaya ghrana tane surabhite caksu drsye yaya
Verse 3
karmendriya karme sane bahu-patni yatha grha-pati akarsaya mora mana tatha
Verse 4
e mata avastha mora sri-nandanandana ki rupe tomara lila kariba smarana
Translation
Verse 1
Dragged by tongue towards a taste, by genital to perversion; needlessly the belly craves lavish food consumption.
Verse 2
The skin demands luxurious comforts, the ear demands sweet talks; the nose demands sweet fragrance, as the eye for scenery looks.
Verse 3
Like a man with many wives, splayed by their demands – thus the mind is dragged by the senses' commands.
Verse 4
O dear son of Nanda, this is my situation; how will Your sweet pastimes be my heart's contemplation?"
