antaḥkaraṇa madvākyaṁ sāvadhānatayā śṛṇu। kṛṣṇātparaṁ nāsti daivaṁ vastuto doṣavarjitaṁ॥ [1]
O heart, pay close attention to what I have to say! There is no perfect God other than Śrī Kṛṣṇa. [1]
cāṇḍālī cedrājapatnī jātā rājñā ca mānitā। kadācidapamāne'pi mūlataḥ kā kṣatirbhavet॥ [2]
Even if a Caṇḍāla woman from a low caste rises to the position of queen and receives the king's respect before he becomes displeased with her, she is still in a much better position than she was when she belonged to the Caṇḍāla caste. [2]
samarpaṇādahaṁ pūrvamuttamaḥ kiṁ sadā sthitaḥ। kā mamādhamatā bhāvyā paścātāpo yato bhavet॥ [3]
Before I surrendered myself to You, was I ever exalted? Have I become so fallen that I need to repent after surrendering to You? Obviously not! [3]
satyasaṅkalpato viṣṇurnānyathā tu kariṣyati। ājñaiva kāryā satataṁ svāmidroho'nyathā bhavet॥ [4]
I am aware that every promise made by the Lord is fulfilled; He never breaks a promise. A devotee must always obey the commands of the Lord, or else he will be guilty of disobeying Him. [4]
sevakasya tu dharmo'yaṁ svāmī svasya kariṣyati। ājñā pūrvaṁ tu yā jātā gaṅgāsāgarasaṅgame॥ [5]
This is what the devotee must do. Rest assured that whatever else needs to be done will be accomplished by the Lord Himself. My Lord had ordered me to leave my body at Gaṅgā Sāgara, where the river meets the sea, but I disobeyed Him. [5]
yā'pi paścānmadhuvane na kṛtaṁ taddvayaṁ mayā। dehadeśaparityāgastṛtīyo lokagocaraḥ॥ [6]
I also disobeyed His second order, which He gave me at Madhuvana near Mathurā, to leave that place and return to Him. I will without a doubt comply with His third command to renounce this material world visible to the eyes. [6]
paścātāpaḥ kathaṁ tatra sevako'haṁ na cānyathā। laukikaprabhuvat kṛṣṇo na draṣṭavyaḥ kadācana॥ [7]
Why should I repent now? I am none other than His devotee. Kṛṣṇa must never be viewed as a being of the material world. [7]
sarvaṁ samarpitaṁ bhaktyā kṛtārtho'si sukhībhava। prauḍhāpi duhitā yadvat snehānna preṣyate vare॥ [8]
O heart, you have already devotedly sacrificed everything to Him. Rejoice that you have achieved your goal. If a father does not send his married daughter to her husband out of excessive affection for her, he displeases her husband. [8]
tathā dehena kartavyaṁ varastuṣyati nānyathā। lokavaccetsthitirme syāt kiṁ syāditi vicāraya॥ [9]
Similarly, if I do not fulfill my bodily duty and return to my beloved Śrī Kṛṣṇa, He will not be pleased with me. I should view my spiritual condition through the lens of worldly conventions, such as the principle that a bride belongs only with her husband. Tell me, where do I stand if I do not behave appropriately toward Śrī Kṛṣṇa? [9]
aśakye harirevāsti mohaṁ māgāḥ kathañcana। iti śrī kṛṣṇadāsasya vallabhasya hitaṁ vacaḥ॥ [10]
To prevent any misunderstanding, Hari alone is capable of accomplishing the impossible. I, a devoted devotee of Śrī Kṛṣṇa, have successfully guided my heart in this manner. [10]
cittaṁ prati yadākarṇya bhakto niścintatāṁ vrajet॥ [11]
A devotee will be liberated from all worries if he pays attention to these words. [11]
iti śrīmad vallabhācāryakṛto'ntaḥkaraṇaprabodhaḥ sampūrṇaḥ॥
