Meaning

Oh mind! Reflect upon Lord Madhava with great joy always
Do not ever pay attention to these maidens of mere flesh
Alas! Life is like water held in a mud pot, which when broken flows out
If one does not curb these wicked thoughts, how does the world prosper?
When the house is already on fire, what is the use of thinking of not digging a well?
Please merge in your heart the lovely red lotus-like feet of lord Ambujanabha
