Anadi karama-phale. Anadi karama-phale pori' bhavarnava-jale taribare na dekhi upaya. This is a song sung by Bhaktivinoda Thakura depicting the picture of the conditioned soul. It is said here, Bhaktivinoda Thakura is speaking, taking himself as one of the ordinary human being, that due to my past fruitive activities, I have now fallen in this ocean of nescience, and I do not find any means of coming out of this great ocean. It is just like the ocean of poison, e visaya-halahale, diva-nisi hiya jvale.

As, if anyone takes some pungent food, it burns the heart, similarly, as we are trying to be happy by sense enjoyment, actually it is just becoming the opposite, a cause of burning our heart. E visaya-halahale, diva-nisi hiya jvale, that burning sensation is going on twenty-four hours, day and night.

Mana kabhu sukha nahi paya, and on account of this my mind is not at all in satisfaction. Asa-pasa-sata-sata klesa dey abirata, I am always making plan, hundreds and thousands, how I shall become happy, but actually all of them giving me trouble, pains, twenty-four hours.

Pravrtti-ūrmira tahe khela, it is exactly like the waves of the ocean, always dashing one another, that is my position. Kama-krodha-adi caya, batapare dey bhaya, besides that, there are so many thieves and rogues. Especially they are six in number, namely lust, anger, envy, illusion, and so many ways, they are always present, and I am afraid of them. Abasana hoilo asi' bela, in this way, my life is becoming advanced, or I am coming to the point of end.

Jnana-karma thaga dui, more pratariya loi, although this is my position, still, two kinds of activities, namely mental speculation and fruitive activities, they are cheating me. Jnana-karma thaga, thaga means cheater. There are jnana-karma thaga dui, more pratariya loi, they are misleading me, and abasese fele sindhu-jale, after misleading me, they bring me on the seashore, and pushes me down within the sea.

E heno samaye bandhu, tumi krsna krpa-sindhu, under the circumstance, my dear Krsna, you are the only friend, tumi krsna krpa-sindhu. Krpa kori' tolo more bale, now I lave no strength to get out of this ocean of nescience, so I request, I pray unto Your lotus feet, that by Your strength, You kindly pick me up.

Patita-kihkare dhari' pada-padma-dhūli kori', after all, I am Your eternal servant. So, somehow or other, I am fallen in this ocean, You kindly pick me up, and fix me as one of the dust of Your lotus feet.

Deho bhaktivinoda asraya, Bhaktivinoda Thakura entreats, that "Kindly give me shelter on Your lotus feet.'' Ami tava nitya-dasa, actually I am Your eternal servant. Bhuliya mayara pas, somehow or other I forgot You, and I am now fallen in the network of maya. Baddha ho'ye achi doyamoy, my dear Lord, I have been entangled in this way. Kindly save me.
