which we are always anxious.
2-O my Lord, Your holy name alone can render all benedic on to living
beings, and thus You have hundreds and millions of names like Krishna
and Govinda. In these transcendental names You have invested all Your
transcendental energies. There are not even hard and fast rules for
chan ng these names. O my Lord, out of kindness You enable us to eas-
ily approach You by Your holy names, but I am so unfortunate that I
have no a rac on for them.

3-One should chant the holy name of the Lord in a humble state of
mind, thinking oneself lower than the straw in the street; one should
be more tolerant than a tree, devoid of all sense of false pres ge and
should be ready to offer all respect to others. In such a state of mind
one can chant the holy name of the Lord constantly.

sire beau ful women, nor do I want any number of followers. I only
want Your causeless devo onal service birth a er birth.

5-O son of Maharaja Nanda [Krishna], I am Your eternal servitor, yet
somehow or other I have fallen into the ocean of birth and death.
Please pick me up from this ocean of death and place me as one of the
atoms at Your lotus feet.

6-O my Lord, when will my eyes be decorated with tears of love flowing
constantly when I chant Your holy name? When will my voice choke up,
and when will the hairs of my body stand on end at the recita on of
Your name?

7-O Govinda! Feeling Your separa on, I am considering a moment to be
like twelve years or more. Tears are flowing from my eyes like torrents
of rain, and I am feeling all vacant in the world in Your absence.

8-I know no one but Krishna as my Lord, and He shall remain so even if
He handles me roughly by His embrace or makes me brokenhearted by
not being present before me. He is completely free to do anything and
everything, for He is always my worshipful Lord uncondi onally.
