vaiṣṇava-saṅgete mana, ānandita anukṣaṇa,
sadā haya kṛṣṇa-parasaṅga
dīna narottama kānde, hiyā dhairya nāhi bāndhe,
mora daśā kenô hôilô bhaṅga
The heart feels joyful at every moment in the company of Vaiṣṇavas, where topics of Kṛṣṇa are always discussed. With a restless heart, Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura cries, “Why have I been torn from their association?”
