<a id="line-3"></a>भावार्थ - हे मूर्ख मन! तू काम क्रोधादि को छोड़ने की मत सोच। वरन्‌

Source Roman transliteration

<a id="line-5"></a>Kȧm kroḍh maḍ lobh kahṇ, man murakh! maṭ choḋ!  
<a id="line-6"></a>Rasik Shiromaṅi Shyȧm ḋhing, ḍe in ko mukh moḋ. [38]

Published English meaning — H.D. Swami Prakashanand Saraswati

<a id="line-7"></a>O my foolish mind, do not think of renouncing anger, pride,  
<a id="line-8"></a>desires and attachments. Instead, transform and relate all these  
<a id="line-9"></a>with the devotional aspect of Shyam Sundar Krishn, the crown  
<a id="line-10"></a>jewel of rasik Saints. (For example: be angry on your own  
<a id="line-11"></a>shortcomings; feel a pride that you belong to Radha Krishn; desire  
<a id="line-12"></a>for doing Their Divine service; and attach yourself in the loving  
<a id="line-13"></a>remembrance to Radha Krishn.)
