Å›rÄ«vÄsa kahena, — kene kaha viparÄ«ta
ká¹›pÄ-mÅ«lye cÄri bhÄi ha-i tomÄra krÄ«ta

 Å›rÄ«vÄsa kahena - ÅšrÄ«vÄsa ṬhÄkura replied; kene - why; kaha viparÄ«ta - do You speak just the opposite; ká¹›pÄ-mÅ«lye - by the price of Your mercy; cÄri bhÄi - we four brothers; ha-i - become; tomÄra - of You; krÄ«ta - purchased.


Text

ÅšrÄ«vÄsa then replied to the Lord, “Why are You speaking in a contradictory way? Rather, we four brothers have been purchased by Your mercy.â€
