Word for Word
and translation
1
parama koruna-supremely
merciful; pahu dui jana-the two Lords;
nitai gauracandra-Lord Nityananda and Lord Gauracandra; saba avatara-of
all incarnations;
sara-They are the essence; siromani-and the crest jewels;
kevala ananda-kanda-exclusive fountains of bliss.
1. The two Lords, Nitai-Gauracandra, are very merciful.
They are the essence of all incarnations.
The specific significance of these incarnations is that They introduced
a process of chanting and dancing that is simply joyful.
2
bhajo bhajo-just worship, just worship; bhai-O brothers!;
caitanya nitai-Lord Caitanya and Nityananda; sudrdha visvasa kori'-with
firm faith;
visaya chadiya-giving up sense gratification; se rase-in that mellow of
worship; majiya-absorbing;
mukhe-with your mouth; bolo hari hari-chant Hari! Hari!
2. My dear brother, I request that you just worship Lord
Caitanya and Nityananda
with firm conviction and faith. If one wants to be Krsna conscious by
this process,
one has to give up his engagement in sense gratification.
One simply has to chant, "Hare Krsna! Hari Hari!" without any motive.
3
dekho-just see; ore
bhai-O dear brothers!; tri-bhuvane-within the three worlds;
nai-there is none; emona-such as these; doyala data-charitable givers
of mercy;
pasu-even the animals; pakhi-and the birds; jhure-weep; pasana
vidare-stones melt;
suni'-upon hearing; jara-whose; guna-gatha-glorification of Their
qualities.
3. My dear brother, just try and examine this.
Within the three worlds there is no one like Lord Caitanya or Lord
Nityananda.
Their merciful qualities are so great that upon hearing them even birds
and beasts cry and stones melt.
4
samsare
majiya-entrapped in the materialistic sense gratification process;
rohili podiya-falling and remaining; se pade-for Their lotus feet;
nahilo asa-you have no aspiration; apana karama-your own bad karma;
bhunjaye-you are being punished (lit. 'enjoying'); samana-by Yamaraja,
lord of death;
kahoye locana-dasa-thus says Locana dasa.
4. But Locana dasa regrets that I am entrapped by sense
gratification.
Since I have no attraction for the lotus feet of Lord Caitanya and Lord
Nityananda,
then Yamaraja, the superintendent of death, is punishing me
by not allowing me to be attracted by this movement.

C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupâda
This is a song
by Locana Dasa Thakura. Pahu means "Lord," and dui jana means "two."
Locana Dasa Thakura declares that the two Lords,
Nitai-Gauracandra--Lord Nitai and Lord Caitanya-- are very merciful
(parama koruna). Saba avatara-sara siromani. Avatara means
"incarnation," and saba means "all." They are the essence of all
incarnations. The specific significance of these incarnations is that
prosecuting Their way of self-realization is simply joyful (kevala
ananda-kanda), for They introduced chanting and dancing. There are many
incarnations, like Lord Rama and even Krsna, who taught Bhagavad-gita,
which requires knowledge and understanding. But Lord Caitanya and
Nityananda in- troduced a process that is simply joyful--simply chant
and dance. Therefore, Locana Dasa requests everyone, bhajo bhajo bhai,
caitanya-nitai: "My dear brother, I request that you just worship Lord
Caitanya and Nityananda with firm conviction and faith." Don't think
that this chanting and dancing will not lead to the desired goal. It
will. It is the assurance of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu that one will get
all perfection by this process. Therefore one must chant with firm
faith and conviction (biswasa kori').
But what is the
process? The process is visayo chariya, se rase majiya. If one wants to
be Krsna conscious by this process, one has to give up his engagement
in sense gratification. That is the only restriction. If one gives up
sense gratification, it is sure that he will reach the desired goal.
Mukhe bolo hari hari: one simply has to chant, "Hare Krsna! Hari Hari!"
without any motive of sense gratification.
Dekho ore bhai,
tri-bhuvane nai. Locana Dasa Thakura says, "My dear brother, you just
try and examine this. Within the three worlds there is no one like Lord
Caitanya or Lord Nityananda, because Their merciful qualities are so
great that They make even birds and beasts cry, what to speak of human
beings." Actually, when Lord Caitanya passed through the forest known
as Jharikhanda, the tigers, elephants, snakes, deer, and all other
animals joined Him in chanting Hare Krsa: It is so nice that anyone can
join. Even the animals can join, what to speak of human beings. Of
course, it is not possible for ordinary men to induce animals to chant,
but if Caitanya Mahaprabhu could inspire animals to chant, at least we
can encourage human beings to adopt this path of Hare Krsna mantra
chanting. It is so nice that even the most stonehearted man will be
melted. Pasana means "stone." It is so nice that even stone will melt.
But Locana Dasa
Thakura regrets that he is entrapped by sense gratification. He
addresses himself, "My dear mind, you are entrapped in this sense
gratification process, and you have no attraction for chanting Hare
Krsna. Since you have no attraction for the lotus feet of Lord Caitanya
and Lord Nityananda, what can I say? I can simply think of my
misfortune. Yamaraja, the superintendent of death, is punishing me by
not allowing me to be attracted by this movement."
