Lyrics (with translation in English):

sabse oonchi prema sagai

"Of all forms of worship of the Lord, love is the best."

duryodhana ko meva tyago
saga vidura ghara pai

"Lord Krsna renounced the delicacies that Duryodhana offered, and ate vegetables at Vidura's house."

jhuthe phala sabari ke khaye
bahu vidhi prema lagi

"As Lord Ramacandra, He ate fruits which were already filled with love from Sabari."

prema ke basa arjuna ratha hankhyo
bhula gaye thakurai

"Out of pure love for Arjuna, He took the position of being his charioteer, and He forgot that He was the Lord."

aisi prita badi vrndavana
gopina naca nacai

"Such love did Lord Krsna portray in Vrndavana when He danced with the gopis in the rasa lila."

sura akrura is layaka nahi
kaha lag karau badai

Sura Dasa asks, "In what way could I worship the merciful and magnanimous Lord?"
