Translation
If there is any time remaining in my life, I will perform austerities and force my body to subsist on the bare necessities. Without further confusion I shall pursue that which constitutes my entire self-interest in life, and I shall remain satisfied within the self.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
I will perform austerities and with full attention I shall meditate on the lotus feet of the Lord. If the remainder of my life is like this, I shall reach perfection.
I will make the body withered because I have supplied it with so much enjoyment with great effort. I shall be attentive to the most beneficial goal, meditating on the lotus feet of the Lord. If my life ends in this manner I will be satisfied.
