ye ānila premadhana
যে আনিল প্রেমধন করুণা প্রচুর
হেন প্রভু কোথাঽ গেলা আচার্য ঠাকুর ১
ye ānila premadhana karuṇā pracura
hena prabhu kothā’ gelā ācārya ṭhākura 1
ye — who; ānila — brought; premadhana — the treasure of divine love; karuṇā — compassion; pracura — profuse; hena — such; prabhu — a master; kothā’ — where; gelā — gone; ācārya ṭhākura — Śrī Śrīnivāsa Ācārya (according to some this refers to Advaita Ācārya). NOTE: According to the Gauḓīya Vaiṣṇava Abhidhāna Śrīnivāsa Ācārya disappeared in 1610 and Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura disappeared in 1611 so it is possible that Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura wrote this song at the end of his manifest pastimes in this world
He who brought the treasure of prema, out of his great compassion––where has such a venerable personality as Śrī Śrīnivāsa Ācārya gone?

কাংহা মোর ভট্টয়ুগ, কাংহা কবিরাজ
এককালে কোথাঽ গেলা গোরা নটরাজ ৩

ekakāle kothā’ gelā gorā naṭarāja 3

পাষাণে কুটিব মাথা, অনলে পশিব

সেসব সঙ্গীর সঙ্গে যে কৈল বিলাস
সেসঙ্গ না পায়া কান্দে নরোত্তমদাস ৫
se-saba saṅgīra saṅge ye kaila bilāsa
se-saṅga nā pāyā kānde narottamadāsa 5
se — these; saba — all; saṅgīra — associates [of Gaurāṅga]; saṅge — in association; ye — who (refering to the ‘ĵe’ in the first verse: Śrīnivāsa Ācārya); kaila — performed; bilāsa — pastimes; se — that; saṅga — association; nā — not; pāyā — having obtained; kānde — cries; narottamadāsa — Narottama dāsa
Unable to obtain the association of that Śrī Śrīnivāsa Ācārya, who performed pastimes with the associates of Mahāprabhu, Narottama dāsa weeps.
