1) O Gopinatha, I have no means of success, but if You take me, having bestowed 
your mercy upon me, then I will obtain deliverance from this world.

2) 0 Gopinatha, I have fallen into the perils of material illusion. Wealth, 
wife, and sons have surrounded me, and lust has wasted me away.

3) 0 Gopinatha, my mind is crazy and does not care for any authority. It is 
always senseless and has remained in the dark pit of worldly affairs.

4) 0 Gopinatha, I have accepted my defeat. All of my various endeavors were 
useless. Now You are the only hope.

5) 0 Gopinatha, how shall I make any advancement when my mind has come under 
the control of the powerful senses and does not abandon its attachment to 
materialism?

6) 0 Gopinatha, after sitting down in the core of my heart and subduing my 
mind, please wake me to You. In this way the horrible dangers of this world 
will disappear.

7) 0 Gopinatha, You are Hrsikesa, the Lord of the senses. Seeing me so 
helpless, please control these senses of mine and deliver me from this dark and 
perilous worldly existence.

8) 0 Gopinatha, the noose of materialism has become fixed around my neck. 
Taking up the sword of Your mercy and cutting this bondage, make this 
Bhaktivinoda Your humble servant. 

All of my various endeavors were useless. Now You are the only hope
