কোন প্রেমে হরি, ব'ধে ব্রজনারী, গেল মথুপুরী করে অনাথা। কোন প্রেম-ফলে, কালিন্দীর কূলে, কৃষ্ণপদ পেলে মাধবীলতা ॥'' "Let your mind be the bird *chakora*, and cry for a drop of mercy, even as the bird cries for a drop of water from the clouds. From the divine feet bearing the marks of ধ্বজ (the flag), বজ্র (the thunder), and অঙ্কুশ (the hook) flowed the Ganges, and what is that but the stream of His mercy? Bathe yourself in this, the sacred stream of divine mercy. You will be immortalised in love.
