nitÄi-gaura-nÄma, Änandera dhÄma, jei jana nÄhi laya
tÄre yama-rÄya, dhare laāye jÄya, narake dĢ£ubÄya tÄya
TRANSLATION
The holy names of Nitai and Gaura are the abode of all jubilation. Those who never utter these names are taken by Yama Maharaja and immersed in the hellish planets.
(2)
tulasÄ«ra hÄra, na pare je chÄra, yamÄlaye vÄsa tÄāra
tilaka dhÄranĢ£a, na kare je jana, vrĢ£thÄya janama tÄāra
Those who never wear tulasi neckbeads take their permanent residence in the abode of Yama Maharaja, and those who never adorn their foreheads with tilaka live their lives in vain.
(3)
nÄ laya harinÄma, vidhi tÄāre vÄma, pÄmara pÄsĢ£anĢ£dĢ£a-mati
vaisĢ£nĢ£ava-sevana, nÄ kare je jana, ki haābe tÄhÄra gati
TRANSLATION
Those who never chant harinama have an unfavorable destiny. They are fallen and their stone-like hearts are filled with deceit. And what will be the destination of those who never serve the Vaisnavas?
(4)
guru-mantra sÄra, kara ei bÄra, vrajete haibe vÄsa
tamo-gunĢ£a jÄābe, sattva-gunĢ£a pÄābe, haibe krĢ£sĢ£nĢ£era dÄsa
TRANSLATION
Now the time has come to receive diksa from Sri Guru. If one chants these mantras carefully, one will come to live in Vraja forever. The mode of ignorance will go, goodness will come in the heart, and one will become the eternal servant of Krsna.

e dÄsa locana, bale anuksĢ£ana, (nitÄi) gaura-gunĢ£a gÄo sukhe
ei rase jÄāra, rati nÄ haila, cÅ«nĢ£a kÄli tÄāra mukhe
TRANSLATION
This Locana dasa instructs everyone to always chant Gaura-Nitaiās holy names. Those who have no affection for gaura-rasa will be publicly defamed ā their faces will be covered with lime and black tar.
