Translation

My dear son, I am certainly most unfortunate, for I can no longer see your mild smiling. You have closed your eyes forever. I therefore conclude that you have been taken from this planet to another, from which you will not return. My dear son, I can no longer hear your pleasing voice.

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

My dear son! I am certainly most unfortunate, for I can no longer see your mild smiling, your joyful eyes and lotus face. Have you gone to the world from which you cannot return? Have you been taken by cruel Yamarāja? Because of this, I can no longer hear your pleasing voice. O my son! I do not see your lotus face with a happy smile, since you do not awaken. Have you gone the next world, from which you cannot return? What is your fault by which Yamarāja has taken you? Because you have been taken, I do not hear your sweet words.
