The English translation of "Vaishnava Janato “ -Poet Naris Mehta
One who is a vaishnav,
Knows the pain of others
Does good to others, especially to those ones who are in misery
Does not let pride enter his mind
A Vaishnav, Tolerates and praises the entire world
Does not say bad things about anyone
Keeps his/her words, actions and thoughts pure
O Vaishnav, your mother is blessed
A Vaishnav sees everything equally, rejects greed and avarice
Considers some one else's wife/daughter as his mother
The tongue may get tired, but will never speak lies
Does not even touch someone else's property
A Vaishnav does not succumb to worldly attachments
Who has devoted himself to staunch detachment to worldly
pleasures
Who has been addicted to the elixir coming by the name of Ram
For whom all the religious sites are in the mind
A Vaishnav, Who has no greed and deceit
Who has renounced lust of all types and anger
The poet Narsi will like to see such a person
By who's virtue, the entire family gets salvation
For those who are interested in listening to the actual rendition of these verses in Gujarati
