भज गोविन्दं भज गोविन्दं
भज गोविन्दं मूढमते ।
सम्प्राप्ते सन्निहिते काले
नहि नहि रक्षति डुकृङ्करणे ॥
भज गोविन्दं 1

bhaja govindaṃ bhaja govindaṃ
bhaja govindaṃ mūḍhamate ।
samprāpte sannihite kāle
nahi nahi rakṣati ḍukṛṅkaraṇe ॥
Bhaja Govindam 1

Worship and praise Govinda, worship and praise Govinda; worship Govinda, O you, of poor wit. When the God of Death is nearing, never indeed, never surely, does protect the indulgence in grammar—the study of sutras like ḍukrnkarane!
