(1) When will that auspicious day dawn when I will achieve full shelter in the transcendental abode of Vrndavana? (2) The burning fire of this material world will cease, as well as all desires for sense gratification, for by being with the devotees of the Lord, all my longings will be fulfilled. (3) Becoming maddened by their chanting of the holy name of the Lord, I will fall down and roll in the grayish dust at the devotees' feet. (4) When, in a kadamba grove on the bank of the Yamuna River, will I behold the beauty of the Divine Couple within the eyes of my heart? (5) When will a sakhi show her gracious mercy to me by engaging me in conjugal service, keeping me by the side of her own lotus feet? (6) And when will I catch a glimpse of Their divine conjugal pastimes? Becoming filled with the ecstasy of pure spiritual love I will lose consciousness. (7) Falling down, I will remain unconscious for a long time, and I will thus completely forget about my own body. (8) Getting up I will again remember that sight which I saw while unconscious — I saw the pastimes of Krishna while I was swimming in an ocean of tears. (9) Making repeated requests in the presence of the devotees, I will ask them to give just one drop of the ocean of devotion to this wicked person. (10) Bhaktivinoda's incessant longing is for the shelter of the lotus feet of Sri Ananga Manjari. (Original form of Sri Jahnava Devi, Lord Nityananda's consort and pleasure potency.)
