যা’র নামে বাল্মীকি হৈলা তপোধন যা’র নামে অজামিল পাইল মোচন যা’র নাম-শ্রবণে সংসার-বন্ধ ঘুচে হেন প্রভু অবতরি’ কলি-যুগে নাচে ॥ ১৯৪-১৯৫ ॥

या’र नामे वाल्मीकि हैला तपोधन या’र नामे अजामिल पाइल मोचन या’र नाम-श्रवणे संसार-बन्ध घुचे हेन प्रभु अवतरि’ कलि-युगे नाचे ॥ १९४-१९५ ॥

yā’ra nāme vālmīki hailā tapodhana yā’ra nāme ajāmila pāila mocana yā’ra nāma-śravaṇe saṃsāra-bandha ghuce hena prabhu avatari’ kali-yuge nāce || 194-195 ||

ya’ra name valmiki haila tapodhana ya’ra name ajamila paila mocana ya’ra nama-sravane samsara-bandha ghuce hena prabhu avatari’ kali-yuge nace (194-195)

(194-195) That Lord, whose holy names induced Vālmīki to become enriched by austerities, whose holy names awarded Ajāmila with liberation, and whose holy names when heard destroy one’s material bondage—that Lord, who has incarnated in Kali-yuga, now engaged in dancing.
