Jambavatī Dāsī
Jambavati Dasi
My dear father Srila Prabhupada
Languishing in darkness I have played
In heedless wanton and senseless ways.
Seeking to gratify my senses only,
I have wandered weak and lonely
So many careless thoughtless days.

O my sweet father master, Jayate!
Jayate golden saintly sun of mercy.
Without Your benediction smile,
Without Your cares for fallen souls,
The cold sword death would cut us down
To cast us deep in the dark dungeon of hell.
Jayate golden saintly sun of mercy.
Without Your benediction smile,
Without Your cares for fallen souls,
The cold sword death would cut us down
To cast us deep in the dark dungeon of hell.
But by Your mercy all is saved.
There is a chance, our only chance,
To see the light of day.
So kindly take me deeper, Prabhupada,
In the service of the holy name,
That all souls may know Your shelter.

In the service of the holy name,
That all souls may know Your shelter.
If only we can serve You.
What can I say? Helplessly I am in disarray,
Only hoping for some way
To be useful at Your feet,
Never able to repay Your causeless grace.

Golden in Krsna's radiant smile,
You are dancing as a cowherd boy.
So kindly help us sing Your glories far and wide,
O saint among the highest.

So kindly help us sing Your glories far and wide,
O saint among the highest.
Appreciation I have not for
Your unending river of prefect love,
Just help us sing the praises of some
Sweet sounds of the Golden Vaisnava,
The mercy incarnate of Lord Caitanya and Nityananda.

Kindly help us chant Your glories
In the sweet and holy names.
By Your mercy I humbly beg You
Lift this burden of opposite nescience
Just so this poor tongue can always be
