(1) Vrndavana is beyond the descriptive power of words. It is the best of all holy places. It is self-manifest, filled with most intense transcendental bliss, free from the touch of material miseries of old-age and death, and the place where Lord Krishna eternally enjoys nectar pastimes. (2) Radha and Krishna's love is more glorious than gold purified in ten thousand flames. Radha and Krishna make great waves in the ocean of nectar. The love in Their eyes is like a cakorabird. Kama and Rati meditate on Them. Their love and happiness are the closest of friends. (3) Charming Srimati Radharani, the best of the gopis, stays on Lord Krishna's left side, Her complexion the colour of the filament of a golden flower, clothed in the garment of ecstatic love for Krishna and a blue silk sari, and Her limbs are beautiful with many ornaments. (4) Become Their gopi-companion. Make Them more dear than life. With your eyes drink the nectar of Their beauty and pastimes. Dive in an ocean of bliss. Always serve the youthful Divine Couple, who are seated on a jewel throne and beyond the rules of the Vedas. (5) Why don't you worship Lord Hari now that you have this rare human birth? If you don't worship Him, what do you think will be your fate after death? Give up all other duties. Don't worship the demigods. Serve Lord Krishna's feet. (6) Do not worship Lord Nandanandana, the blissful master of Vraja, and the entire world around you will become filled with pain. Become attracted to higher material realms, the attainment of liberation, or the hellish pleasures of this sphere, and your valuable human birth will become spoiled. (7) Do not put your trust in the material body. After death Yamaraja will punish you and your karma will push you into an ocean of pain. Now that you have heard and understood this, please follow the path of the saints and scriptures. Worship and love the feet of the youthful Divine Couple. (8) The fruitive worker of karma-kanda and the speculations of jnana-kanda are two pots of poison. If one drinks these two poisons, and then proclaims that they are both as sweet as nectar, he will fall from the human realm and spend a long time wandering in many species of life, eating many abominable things, and enjoying many horrible pleasures. (9) They who proclaim someone else as their Lord and don't love Radha-Krishna don't understand anything of loving devotional service. Not asking about devotional service and all their thoughts placed in the illusory material world, they have wasted their lives. (10) Most people know only of work and philosophy. They don't know anything about devotional service. Each with a different opinion, they are all fools. Don't listen to their talk. Learn about devotional service, the life of the devotees. (11) Lord Hari is present in every corner of the material world. Brahma and Siva are His order-carriers. Talk of His pastimes is very very sweet. One who knows this is a great soul. I yearn for his association. (12) Thirst to attain Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Worship Him. Love Him as the residents of Vraja did. Reside in Vrajapura, where Lord Krishna eternally enjoys pastimes. Stay in the company of great souls that relish the nectar of Krishna. Great souls stay always in Vraja, day and night their hearts full of love for Krishna. That is the truth. It is not otherwise. Srila Jiva Gosvami has proved it. (13) I will meditate on the lotus feet of the devotees, hear from them, remember Lord Krishna's gopi-friends, and always be happy in Vrajapura. (14) I will meditate on the youthful Divine Couple and sing of Their nectar pastimes. I pray for that. In this life or after death I have no other desire. Thus speaks poor-hearted Narottamadasa.
