Like a rod


mahima vraja-iliaya darato 'pi nisevitah
yair yais tan dandavan naumi
bhaktan bhismarjuna dikah


I lay myself down like a rod to honor
the many devotees of the Lord

who like Bhisma and Arjuna
serve the glories of Vraja's pastimes
even in distant separation.

( Sriman Bhaktivinode Thakur )
