Translation

In this kaliyuga, countless souls will be redeemed if they just remember the name of Hari

O Mind! Meditate upon the easily approachable Vishnu, to attain salvation with ease.

Do not say ‘I do not know about ritual ablutions; I do not know the vow of silence; I know nothing about contemplation’.
Focus your mind on the darling of Jaanaki, the son of Dasharatha, the One who delights in music.

Do not plead ‘I do not know how to worship; I do not know how to make You happy; I am a lowlife’.
Remember with elation: Achyuta, Ananta and Govinda, the provider of salvation.

Do not declare ‘I do not know how to chant; I have no knowledge of penance; I lack good advice’. Think with smartness, about Purandara Vithala of limitless greatness.
