arra avidy-jl, jodendriya the kl, jve phele vis aya-sgore // 1 //
O Lord, this material body is a place of ignorance, and the senses are a network of paths to death. Somehow, we have fallen into this ocean of material sense enjoyment.
tr madhye jihv ati, lobhamoy sudurmati, t 'ke jet kothina
samsre // 2 //

And of all the senses the tongue is most voracious and uncontrollable; it is very difficult to conquer the tongue in this world.
krs n a bado doymoy, kori bre jihv jay, svaprasd-anna dilo bhi // 3 //
But You, dear Kr s n a , are very kind to us and have given us such nice prasda, just to control the tongue.
sei annmrta
po, rdh-krs n a-guna go preme dko caitanya niti // 4 //
Now we take this prasda to our full satisfaction and glorify You Lord-Rdh and Kr s n a-and in love call for the help of Lord Caitanya and Nitynanda.
