(1)
ṭhākura vaiṣṇava-pada avanīra su-sampada
śuna bhāī hañā eka mana
āśraya laiyā bhaje tāre kṛṣṇa nāhi tyaje
āra saba mare akāraṇa
(2)
vaiṣṇava-caraṇa-jala prema-bhakti dite bala
āra keha nahe balavanta
vaiṣṇava-caraṇa-reṇu mastake bhūṣaṇa binu
āra nāhi bhuṣaṇera aṅta
(3)
tīrtha-jala pavitra-guṇa likhiyāche purāṇe
se saba bhaktira pravacana
vaiṣṇavera pādodaka sama nahe ei saba
jāte haya vāñcchita pūraṇa
(4)
vaiṣṇava-saṅgete mana ānandita anukṣaṇa
sadā haya kṛṣṇa-para-saṅga
dīna narottama kānde hiyā dhairya nāhi bāndhe
mora daśā kena haila bhaṅga |

| MEANING |
| (1) The lotus feet of the saintly Vaiṣṇavas are the greatest wealth in this world. O my dear brothers! Please listen attentively. One who takes shelter of the Vaiṣṇava and worships Kṛṣṇa, is never forsaken by Kṛṣṇa. Others die without reason. |
| |
| |
| (2) The water that has washed the feet of a Vaiṣṇava gives divine strength to a person engaged in loving devotional service. Nothing else is more powerful than this. The dust of the feet of the Vaiṣṇavas upon my head is the only decoration needed at the time of death. |
| |
| |
| (3) The purifying qualities of the water of the holy places are mentioned in the Purāṇas and at every discourse on bhakti. However, the water from the feet of a Vaiṣṇava cannot be compared with water from even the holy places. One’s desires are fulfilled by taking this water. |
| |
| |
| (4) By associating with the Vaiṣṇavas, one feels blissful discussing the topics of Lord Kṛṣṇa. Becoming impatient due to forgetfulness of Kṛṣṇa, Narottama dāsa thus laments. |
