Śrī Nāma
- gāy gorā madhur svare
- hare kṛṣṇa hare kṛṣṇa, kṛṣṇa kṛṣṇa hare hare
- hare rāma hare rāma, rāma rāma hare hare
-
Lord Gaurasundar sings in a very sweet voice, “Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare, Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare.”

- gṛhe thāko, vane thāko, sadā ‘hari’ bole’ ḍāko,
- sukhe duḥkhe bhulo nāko, vadane harinām kara re
-
Whether you live at home or in the forest always chant the Lord’s Holy Name; in happiness or sadness, don’t forget — chant the Holy Name and fill your lips with Harinām.

- māyā-jāle baddha ho’ye, ācho miche kāja lo’ye,
- ekhona o chetana peye, rādhā-mādhava-nām bolo re
-
Bound in māyā’s net you’ve slaved and toiled in vain. But now that you have a human life and consciousness, chant the Lord’s Name, “Rādhā-Mādhava.”

- jīvana hoilo śeṣa, nā bhajile hṛṣīkeśa
- bhaktivinod-upadeśa, ekbār nām-rase māto re
-
This life must surely end soon, and you have not worshiped Hṛṣīkeśa, the master of the senses. Bhakti Vinod advises: at least once, taste the nāma-rasa, the nectar of the Holy Name.
