Published Hindi meaning — contributor not separately identified in this edition

<a id="line-3"></a>भावार्थ - कोई कहता है कि कामनाओं को छोड़ दो। एवं कोई कहता है कि  
<a id="line-4"></a>केवल श्यामसुन्दर का भजन करो। मेरी राय में दोनों भोले हैं। अतः कामना  
<a id="line-5"></a>त्याग एवं हरि अनुराग साथ-साथ करना है।

<a id="line-6"></a>Kou kah ṭaju sab kȧm kou, kah bhaju Sunḍar Shyȧm.  
<a id="line-7"></a>Hauṇ kah ḍou ik sang karu, ṭab ho puran kȧm. [37]

Published English meaning — H.D. Swami Prakashanand Saraswati

<a id="line-8"></a>Some spiritual teachers say that one should renounce all the worldly  
<a id="line-9"></a>desires, and others say to do only Krishn devotion. Jagadguru  
<a id="line-10"></a>Shree Kripaluji Maharaj says that both are naive. Renunciation  
<a id="line-11"></a>and Krishn devotion, both should be practiced together. (Only then  
<a id="line-12"></a>the final goal of God realization will be achieved.)
