*pūrve*—formerly; *āmi*—I; *rāma-nāma*—the holy name of Lord Rāma; *pāñāchi*—got; *śiva haite*—from Lord Śiva; *tomāra saṅge*—by your association; *lobha haila*—I became greedy; *kṛṣṇa-nāma laite*—to chant the Hare Kṛṣṇa *mahā-mantra.*

**"Formerly I received the holy name of Lord Rāma from Lord Śiva, but now, due to your association, I am greatly eager to chant the holy name of Lord Kṛṣṇa.**
