The Translation

Surrender do I
Unto that Sadguru , who is
Verily the form of Bliss: lover of Krishna’s company!
And,
A childlike heart has HE!

Surrender do I
Unto that Sadguru , who is
Deeply affectionate: lover of Nama Sankeertanam!
And,
A ‘madhurabhãva’ heart has HE!

Surrender do I
Unto that Sadguru , who is
A treasure house of humility: lover of Bhãgavatas’ company!
And,
A benevolent heart has HE!

Surrender do I
Unto that Sadguru , who
Illuminates ‘Hari Bhakti’: is an ocean of virtues!
And,
A fine devoted heart has HE!

Surrender do I
Unto that Sadguru , who
Works every moment for the benefit of the world: whose body is in ecstatic horripilation!
and,
a ‘Prema-swelled’ heart has HE!
