Iṣṭa-deve Vijñapti
- hari hari!
- viphale janama goṅāinu
- manuṣya-janama pāiyā rādhā-kṛṣṇa nā bhajiyā
- jāniyā śuniyā viṣa khāinu

- golokera prema-dhana hari-nāma-saṅkīrtana
- rati nā janmila kena tāya
- saṁsāra-viṣānale divā-niśi hiyā jvale
- juḍāite nā kainu upāya

- vrajendra-nandana yei śachī-suta haila sei
- balarāma ha-ila nitāi
- dīna-hīna yata chhila hari-nāme uddhārila
- tāra śākṣī jagāi mādhāi
-
Vrajendra Nandan became Śachī Suta and Balarām became Nitāi. They delivered all the fallen souls with the Holy Name. Jagāi and Mādhāi are evidence of this.

O Rādhā! O Lord Kṛṣṇa! Be merciful to me this time. Narottam Dās says, “Please don’t push me away from Your reddish feet. Without You, who do I have?”
