mukha-bāhūru-pādebhyaḥ puruṣasyāśramaiḥ saha
catvāro jajñire varṇā guṇair viprādayaḥ pṛthak
'From the mouth, arms, waist and the legs of the Supreme Lord - mukha bāhu ūru pādebhyaḥ puruṣasya
Appeared distinctly the four social and sacral orders - jajñire pṛthak catvār varṇāḥ aḥāśramaiḥ
With their particular qualifications, beginning with the brahmanas - saha guṇaiḥ
ya eṣāḿ puruṣaḿ sākṣād ātma-prabhavam īśvaram
na bhajanty avajānanti sthānād bhraṣṭāḥ patanty adhaḥ
Whoever of these, which being fallen - ye eṣām bhraṣṭāḥ
does not directly worship or neglect - na bhajanti sākṣāt avajānanti
the Supreme Enjoyer, the Soul of all existence, the Supreme Controller - puruṣam ātma-prabhavam īśvaram
falls from his platform deeper and deeper - patanti sthānāt adhaḥ
jñānī jīvan-mukta-daśā pāinu kari' māne
vastutaḥ buddhi 'śuddha' nahe kṛṣṇa-bhakti vine
The ones that have transcendental knowledge think - jñānī kari māne
That they attained the stage of liberation in this very life - pāinu daśā jīvan-mukta
In fact their intelligence (discriminating power) is not purified - vastutaḥ buddhi nahe śuddha
Lacking devotional service for Krişna -vine bhakti kṛṣṇa
In this connection Şri Cetanya quotes Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (10.2.32) as the gods addressed Krişna at His birthday:
ye 'nye 'ravindākṣa vimukta māninas
tvayy asta-bhāvād aviśuddha-buddhayaḥ
āruhya kṛcchreṇa paraḿ padaḿ tataḥ
patanty adho 'nādṛta-yuṣmad-ańghrayaḥ
All the other (who are not Your devotees) oh, the One with lotus like eyes (Krişna) - ye anye aravinda-akṣa
Think themselves liberated, without being devoted to You - māninaḥ vimukta asta-bhāvāt tvayi
Rising through austerities and penances on the supreme platform - āruhya kṛcchreṇa param padam
Because they didn’t considered your lotus like feet- anādṛta ańghrayaḥ yuṣmat
Their intelligence is not pure - buddhayaḥ aviśuddha
And they fall there from - patanti adhaḥ tataḥ
