TRANSLATION

My dear Lord of the Vaikuntha planets, where there is no
anxiety, my mind is extremely sinful and lusty, being sometimes
so-called happy and sometimes so-called distressed. My mind is
full of lamentation and fear, and it always seeks more and more
money. Thus it has become most polluted and is never satisfied in
topics concerning You. I am therefore most fallen and poor. In
such a status of life, how shall I be able to discuss Your activities?
