श्रीचरणदास उवाच
जय पद्मपलाशाक्ष जगदानन्दकारक |
जय रासरसानन्द जय राधामनोहर ||
साम्राज्यं योगसिद्धिं वा स्वर्गं वा परमं पदम् |
न कामये रमाकान्त भक्तिं देहि सदा त्वयि ||
त्वयि गोपीजनानन्दे भक्तिरेव परं फलम् |
तां त्यक्त्वा गोकुलाधॆश मुक्तिशुक्त्या तु किं मम ||
बृन्दावनमिदं नूनं विशुद्धं हृदयं मम |
तस्मिन् विहार सानन्दं सन्ततं राधया सह ||
Charanadasa said
Victory unto You! Oh! the lotus eyed Krishna! The bestower of happiness on the world! Victory unto You! Oh! The embodiment of divine “Rasarasa’ and the bliss born of it! Victory unto You, the beloved of Devi Radha! I do not long to gain any empire or yogic achievements or residence in the swarm or even the divine abode of the Supreme Being (the Paramapada). Oh! Consort of Devi Radha! Bless me with unwavering devotion to You. Oh! Gokulanandana! Is not nurturing Bhakti towards You, the beloved of the Gopis, the ultimate reward in itself? What benefit am I going to reap in picking up the mere shell - that is, multi, leaving the pearl of Bhakti? Certainly, this pious heart of mine is Shri Brindavan in itself. You come and play here joyfully with Devi Radha.
