श्रीगुरु चरन सरोज मधुर मकरंद मनोहरताई । मन मधुकरहिं पवाय सहित रुचि सुचि सनेह सरसाई ॥ सर्वोपरि श्रीनाम कान्ति कमनीय कहौं सुखदाई । युगलानन्यशरण सर्वस सद संपति नाम बड़ाई ॥१॥

Fresh English draft

Having caused the bee of my mind to drink, with pure delight, the lovely sweet nectar of Śrī Guru’s lotus feet, and having steeped it in affection, I shall tell of the supremely beautiful, joy-giving radiance of the divine Name. Yugalānanya Śaraṇa says: praise of the Name is my all-in-all and the true wealth of the good.

नाम परम अभिराम कामप्रद सदमत दृग से देखो । श्रीसीतावर नाम महामनि उजियारौ जग लेखो ॥ नाम सुजस गुनगान करो नित नाम प्रताप परेखो । युगलानन्य नाम सुमिरन बिन नर पाहन पवि पेखो ॥२॥

Fresh English draft

With the eye of sound understanding, behold the Name as supremely delightful and desire-fulfilling. Know the world to be illumined by the great jewel that is the Name of Śrī Sītā’s Lord. Daily sing the Name’s fair fame and virtues; discern the Name’s majesty. Yugalānanya says: without remembrance of the Name, regard a person as stone and thunderbolt—insensible and hard.

जय श्रीयुगलकिशोर नाम चितचोर चैन चित दानी । जयति प्रियापरतंत्र लाल हिय हरन रहस रसखानी ॥ जयति सरस उज्ज्वल उतंग गुन घन अनुराग बितानी । युगलानन्यशरण जीवन जय विदित विभव बरबानी ॥३॥

Fresh English draft

Victory to the Name of Śrī Yugala-kiśora, stealer of the heart and giver of peace to the mind. Victorious is the Name that captivates the heart of the Beloved’s own darling, wholly governed by Her, and is a treasury of secret rasa. Victorious is that luscious, radiant, exalted mass of virtues, spreading loving attachment. Yugalānanya Śaraṇa says: victory to the Name, his very life, whose glory is renowned in noble utterance.

Fresh English draft

Blessed is the Name of Śrī Sītā’s Lord: an adorned and lovely dawn. It acquaints one with the radiance of love and trust in the Supreme Lord, giver of highest bliss. Within stainless, transcendent experience it flashes forth the massed beauty of the supreme Beloved’s form. Yugalānanya says: without remembrance of the Name, diverse discussions only lead one astray.

Directly collated against PDF page 23 / printed page 17 at 500 dpi. The source reads `सादी सहर`; its explanation offers both a festively adorned city and a simple, lovely dawn as possible construals.

Fresh English draft

What has been gained by performing countless multitudes of pilgrimages, austerities, and disciplines? The splendour won by forever bearing cold and heat upon one’s head is merely displayed within worldly existence. Who could count one’s gifts? Without the Name they are worm-eaten and no better than grass. Yugalānanya says: for the sake of Sītā’s Beloved, the Name alone is the means of attainment.

By the splendour of the Name’s own majesty, Śeṣa bears the earth upon his head. Through the auspicious power of the Name, the sun makes the cosmic egg shine.

Become utterly intoxicated, again and again, and voice the Name with your tongue. Lose every desire and servitude to desire; contemplate the fragrance of trust. Repeatedly speak and ponder the knowable virtues of the Name, steadying the mind in loving attachment.

The cooling majesty of the Name will erase the hard array of affliction and darkness. It will draw the heart back from talk of desire, wealth, women, and the like. Bestowing Rāma—the radiant, tender-limbed abode of dark beauty—it will drive away pains hard as adamant. Yugalānanya says: the Name, through tender compassion, will enfold one in beautiful longing.

Sink into the ocean of the Name and tear apart the leaf of self-regarding cleverness. Weeping night and day, body overwhelmed, delight in the Name and abandon deceit.

Blessed is the surrendered one devoted to the Name alone, whose conduct and understanding are of this kind: graceful speech and living, disciplined practice, the taking up of virtues, and a distinctive longing of one’s own. Love, intimacy, and trust are of one flavour, like Majnūn’s devotion to Laylā. Yugalānanya says: the true worth of lovers is exactly what it ought to be.

What is gained by expounding doctrines while you still do not chant the Name? Gathering a heap of mere talk, you rejoice and, deluded, waste away. Yet when you hear the life-stories of saints filled with love for the Name, you tremble. Yugalānanya Śaraṇa says: scorning the lion, you go and hide beside a jackal.

Though they have obtained the excellent treasure honoured by Śrī Śaṅkara, they do not love it. Alas, what deep regret: with the wish-fulfilling jewel close at hand, they die hungry.

Abandoning pain, with body, mind, and speech they establish loving recollection of the Name. Pondering within the mind the Name’s meaning—the essence beyond every principle—they become drunk with joy. Realizing the unity of Name and Named, they sink into love of the Name. Yugalānanya says: through the Name’s compassion, the Beauty-treasure’s splendour flashes before them.

जिनके ज्ञान गुमान मान तिन से न नाम गुन कहिए । जो वे प्रश्न करें वादन हित तउ अति चुप ह्वै रहिए ॥ अमल अमोल महामनि नाहक खोलि खेद खर सहिए । युगलानन्य परत्व पदारथ समय बदत मुद लहिए ॥४५॥

Fresh English draft

Do not tell the Name’s virtues to those proud and conceited about their knowledge. If they question merely to debate, remain entirely silent. Do not needlessly uncover the stainless, priceless great jewel and endure harsh distress. Yugalānanya says: speak of this supreme reality at the proper time and receive joy.

जैसे कृषीकार सुन्दर सुचि धान पाय सुख पावै । तजै पयाल जानि अंतर गुनि तिमि सतनाम समावै ॥ पढ़ि सुनि निखिल ग्रंथ अर्थन पुनि छोड़ि सुनाम लोभावै । युगलानन्यशरण घृत गहि घट अलग किए हरषावै ॥४६॥

As a farmer rejoices on obtaining beautiful clean grain and, discerning the difference, leaves the straw, so one enters the true Name. Having read and heard all scriptures and understood their meanings, one leaves them behind and is drawn to the beautiful Name. Yugalānanya Śaraṇa says: taking the clarified butter, one gladly sets the vessel aside.

समुझि कृतज्ञ सुगुन राखे रस चाखे नाम पियूषन को । संतत संत सुसंग सजै तम तजै भजै कुलभूषन को ॥ राग अराग पराग प्रलय नाशै तजि नेह कुरूपन को । युगलानन्यशरण अन्तर उर शोभा नाम मयूषन को ॥४७॥

Fresh English draft

Understanding and becoming grateful, one keeps the Name’s virtues and tastes its nectar. Constantly adorned by the holy company of saints, one abandons darkness and worships the ornament of Raghu’s line. Attachment, indifference, aversion, and ruin dissolve; one leaves affection for dry and graceless hearts. Yugalānanya Śaraṇa says: within the inner heart shines the radiance of the Name.

पार भए पर नाव काम कहो कौन रहे दृग देखो । निज मोकाम जब जाय मिल्यो पुनि पंथागमन नहि लेखो ॥ भेंट्यो सुजन सनेहवंत फिरि वृथा खोज अविशेषो । युगलानन्य नाम जपि के श्रम साधन निरस निरेखो ॥४८॥

Fresh English draft

Once the crossing is made, what use remains for the boat? See with your own eyes. Having reached and met one’s destination, one no longer considers travelling the road again. Once the loving good Beloved is met, further searching is purposeless and nothing remains. Yugalānanya says: after chanting the Name, behold laborious disciplines as tasteless.

कस्तूरी सुचि सरस सुरभि गुलशन गुलाब जिन पाया है । तिनको प्याज गांठ लहसुन दुर्गंध कहो कब भाया है ॥ शाहनशाह सल्तनत हासिल हुए न भीख मंगाया है । युगलानन्य नाम रस चाखत साधन सकल बिलाया है ॥४९॥

Whoever has found musk and the pure, luscious fragrance of a rose garden—when could the stench of onion and a bulb of garlic please them? Once the emperor’s kingdom has been gained, no one sends the king to beg. Yugalānanya says: on tasting the Name’s rasa, every lesser discipline disappears.

A lion never eats grass at any time—this is a true and certain statement. A royal swan never pecks at a shell: the boundary is firmly drawn.
