TEXT 123
পাইয়া মানুষ জন্ম,                      যে না শুনে গোরগুণ, হেন জন্ম তার ব্যর্থ হৈল।
পাইয়া অমৃত্যুমী,                      পিয়ে বিষগর্ত-পামি, জন্মিয়া সে কেনে নাহি মৈল ॥ ১২৩ ॥
pāiyā mānuṣa janma, ye nā śune gaura-guṇa, hena janma tāra vyartha haila pāiyā amṛtadhunī, piye viṣa-garta-pāni janmiyā se kene nāhi maila
SYNONYMS
pāiyā mānuṣa janma —anyone who has gotten the form of a human body;  ye —who;  nā —does not;  śune —hear;  gaura-guṇa —the qualities of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu;  hena janma —such a birth;  tāra —his;  vyartha haila —becomes useless;  pāiyā —getting the opportunity;  amṛtadhunī —of the river of nectar;  piye —drinks;  viṣa-garta-pāni —water in a poison pit of material happiness;  janmiyā —taking birth as a human being;  se —he;  kene —why;  nāhi —did not;  maila —die.
TRANSLATION
Anyone who attains a human body but does not take to the cult of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu is baffled in his opportunity. Amṛtadhunī is a flowing river of the nectar of devotional service. If after getting a human body one drinks the water in a poison pit of material happiness instead of the water of such a river, it would be better for him not to have lived, but to have died long ago.
