Sri Rupa Manjari Pada | Lyrics & Inner Confidential Meaning | Srila Narottama Das Thakur

In this prayer, Srila Narottam Das Thakur Prabhupada weepingly strings what he feels for the Lotus Feet of Sri Rupa Manjari. Sri Rupa Manjari descended as Srila Rupa Goswamipada, foremost of the six Goswamis and an intimate associate of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.

Sri Rupa Manjari Pada Lyrics:

|| śrī-rūpa-mañjarī-pada, sei mora sampada,
sei mor bhajana-pūjana |
sei mora prāṇa-dhana, sei mora ābharaṇa,
sei mor jīvanera jīvana || (1)
|| sei mora rasa-nidhi, sei mora vāñchā-siddhi,
sei mor vedera dharama |
sei brata sei tapa, sei mora mantra-japa,
sei mor dharama-karama || (2)
|| anukūla habe vidhi, se-pade hoibe siddhi,
nirakhibo e dui nayane |
se rūpa-mādhurī-rāśi, prāṇa-kuvalaya-śaśi,
praphullita habe niśi-dine || (3)
|| tuwā adarśana-ahi, garale jāralo dehī,
ciro-dina tāpita jīvanahā |
hā rūpa koro doyā, deho more pada-chāyā,
narottama loilo śaraṇa || (4)
