鈥淪ervice to guru is the exclusive purpose of life, and I am forever deprived of that.鈥�

If that is the main thing you want to express, then I have nothing to say. We live in the 尘补峁环补-mandira for the service of 艢谤墨 Hari, guru, and 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫补蝉 and out of a longing for their love. All our efforts are dedicated to that noble end. It is possible to pursue this grand objective wherever one may dwell. 

Those who have maintained a link with guru and 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫补蝉 render real, practical service, while those who are without shelter hold on to life in vain.

This message of the 尘补丑腻箩补苍补蝉 inspires us in service in a special way. Patience and enthusiasm increase the delight of service. Hence, occasional restlessness and discouragement are never capable of overshadowing a real 蝉别惫腻-诲丑补谤尘墨. You are intelligent. What I hope for from you is that you will understand all these matters and forever be inspired in the dharma of service.

I am providing brief answers to your questions:

(1) Singing the poet鈥檚 line two times first鈥�

艣谤墨 ke艣avera 诲腻蝉补 kare n膩ma-sa峁叞炷�谤迟补苍��鈥�

鈥淚s custom and constitutes proper etiquette.鈥�

碍墨谤迟补苍补 is performed under the guidance of the 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫补 尘补丑腻箩补苍补蝉. The poet cannot use 鈥�prabhu 艣谤墨 办别艣补惫补鈥� himself. The guidance of 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫补蝉 is the root of 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫补 dharma. That is why the line the poet has composed is sung first and then we sing [an alternative line] in a mood of servitude to him. The author and poet has humbly written compositions in many places. Will we not discuss them? We must study them and convey their purport to everyone. 鈥溑毎��� Ke艣ava Prabhu鈥� has humbly written 鈥�abh膩g膩 办别艣补惫补 鈥搕he unlucky Ke艣ava鈥�. That is the subject of our study.

(2) In the Sarvasva Tom膩ra 办墨谤迟补苍补, the original, accurate rendering is: 

啶�啶曕い啶苦さ啶苦え啷嬥��

bhakativinoda, tom膩re 辫腻濒补办补, boliy膩 vara峁嘺 kare 

鈥淏haktivinoda accepts You as his sole maintainer.鈥� 

If 鈥�bhakativinoda, tom膩re 辫腻濒补办补, boliy膩 j膩naho more 鈥揃haktivinoda, know Me to be your maintainer鈥� has been printed in the current edition, then this is wholly erroneous and meaningless.

(3) In the 艢谤墨 Guru-肠补谤补峁嘺-padma 办墨谤迟补苍补, 鈥�h膩 h膩 prabho karo 诲补测腻, deho more pada-肠丑腻测腻, ebe ya艣a ghu峁�uka tribhuvana鈥� is the original line. This 办墨谤迟补苍补 of 艢谤墨la Narottama 峁琱腻办耻谤补 is very long; that is why the last line of another 办墨谤迟补苍补 by him has been incorporated and, at present, it is sung like this: 鈥�narottama lailo 艣补谤补峁嘺鈥� or 鈥�tuw膩 pade lainu 艣补谤补峁嘺鈥�. In this case, the use of the word 鈥�narottama鈥� is correct, because there is mention of the poet. Singing 鈥�narottama lailo 艣补谤补峁嘺鈥� first and then singing 鈥�tuw膩 pade lainu 艣补谤补峁嘺鈥� is appropriate.

(4) 鈥�艢谤墨 caitanya-nity膩nanda-艣谤墨-advaita鈥敳荡潜璩倌�鈥濃�搕hese three are 惫颈峁�a测补-vigraha or 产丑辞办迟腻-产丑补驳补惫腻苍; hence, they are maintainers and nurturers. Previously, it was like this in the 辫补诲腻惫补濒墨 [Bengali songbook] collections. Later, 鈥�蝉墨迟腻鈥� was printed by mistake. To suddenly mention a 艣补办迟颈 in the middle of listing 惫颈峁�a测补-vigraha is incongruous; and S墨t膩 cannot be the 艣补办迟颈 of all three. Considering all this, Gau岣嵞珁a 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫补蝉 use the word 驳辞辫迟腻 instead of 蝉墨迟腻. Know that you have my affectionate blessings. Iti鈥�

Your eternal well-wisher,
艢谤墨 Bhaktived膩nta 痴腻尘补苍补
