A P

iteous Plea to Nitai

Krishna Das

(Refrain) jaya jaya nityänanda räya

aparädha päpa mora tähära nähika ora

uddhäraha nija karuëäya

All glories! All glories to Nityananda Ray! Please do

not think of my sins and offenses. Kindly deliver me.

ämära asata mati tomära näme nähi rati

kahite nä bäsi mukhe läja

janame janame kata kariyächi ätma-ghäta

ata-e se mora ei käja

My heart is very sinful and is not attracted to your

holy name. I do not like to speak of these things.

Shame fills my mouth. In how many repeated births

did I destroy any chance that I had to make spiritual

advancement? That is why I am in such a state.

tumi-o karuëä-sindhu pätaké janära bandhu

ebära karaha yadi tyäga

patita-pävana näma nirmala se anupäma

tähäte lägaye baòa däga

You are an ocean of mercy. You are the friend

of the sinners. If you abandon me now, then your

peerless and glorious reputation as

patita-pävana

(purifier of the fallen) will be greatly stained.

pürube yavana-ädi kata kata aparädhé

tarä-icha çuniyächi käne

kåñëa-däsa anumäni öhelite näribe tumi

yadi ghåëä nä karaha mane

How many

yavanas and other offenders have

you already delivered? With my own ears I heard

how you delivered them. I, Krishna Das, think this:

O my Lord, if in your heart you have not become

averse to me, then do not push me away.
