Pure Devotion: A Translation of a Passage from the Nama Ghosa

Pure Devotion (bhajana)

Victories to you, Krsna, personality of grace,

I do pure devotion at your feet.

Let, into your lotus-like feet, my mind

naturally immerse itself. 188

Victories to you, Rama, creation’s supreme cause,

soul of the creation, master.

Knowing you to be the supreme controlling-entity,

we do pure devotion at your feet. 189

Originless one, ever-present in time and space, O the possessor of all opulences!

We do pure devotion throwing ourselves down before you.

Forsaking even the taste of liberation, the exemplar-devotees

take sole-refuge in you. 190
