     1. I take shelter of Lord Kåñëa, the master of all the worlds. I pray that some day I will see Him with my own eyes. He is Lord Viñëu, embraced by the goddess of fortune. He is the witness residing in the bodies fo all moving and unmoving beings. He is supremely pure. He is the killer of the demons. His eyes are lotus flowers. He holds a club, conchshell, and cakra. He wears a glorious flower-garland. He is always blissful and handsome.
     2. I take shelter of Lord Kåñëa, the master of all the worlds. I pray that some day I will see Him with my own eyes. From Him the sky, the wind, the universes, and all else were born. With a fragment of His own bliss He protects all the worlds. He killed the Madhu demon. At the time of cosmic devastation with a single fragment of His power He removes everything, taking it all within Him. He is all-powerful.
     3. I take shelter of Lord Kåñëa, the master of all the worlds. I pray that some day I will see Him with my own eyes. The yamas, niyamas, senses, and all else rest within His heart. The wise philosophers see that He is the supreme object of worship, the magician that has manifested this world.
     4. I take shelter of Lord Kåñëa, the master of all the worlds. I pray that some day I will see Him with my own eyes. Standing in this world, He controls the earth, although this truth even the earth itself does not understand. This the Vedas declare of Him. He is the master of all the nuniverses. He is supremely pure. He is the supreme controller. He is the supereme object of meditation. He gives liberation to the sages, demigods, and human beings.
     5. I take shelter of Lord Kåñëa, the master of all the worlds. I pray that some day I will see Him with my own eyes. By His power Indra and the demigods defeat the demons. No one is independent of Him. Nothing ever happens without His sanction. He removes the pride of they who are proud of their learning or their victory over others. 
     6. I take shelter of Lord Kåñëa, the master of all the worlds. I pray that some day I will see Him with my own eyes. A person who does not meditate on Him becomes a pig or some other beast. A person who does not know anything about Him becomes afraid of repeated birth and death. A person who does not remember Him is born as a worm for a hundred births. He is the all-powerful Lord.
     7. I take shelter of Lord Kåñëa, the master of all the worlds. I pray that some day I will see Him with my own eyes. He cuts into pieces the fears and sufferings of the people. He is the best of all shelters. He is the remover of illusions. He is dark like a raincloud. He is graceful and handsome. He is the friend of the boys in Vraja. He is the friend of Arjuna. He is self-born. He is the father of all who are born. To all who act rightly He gives the gift of happiness.
     8. I take shelter of Lord Kåñëa, the master of all the worlds. I pray that some day I will see Him with my own eyes. Whenevr there is a decline of religion and the people of the worlds are distrubed by troubles, then Lord Kåñëa, who is the unborn master of the worlds and the upholder of religious principles, manifests His form in this world. He is the protector of the saintly devotees. He is effulgent, pure, and handsome. He is glorified in all the scriptures. He is the master of Vraja.

     1. In a forest by the Yamunä's banks, in a cottage of vines, He enjoys amorous pastimes with the proud gopés. With the fragrant sweetness of His nectar flute-melodies He makes the gopas and cows intoxicated with bliss. I worship Lord Bindu-Mädhava.
     2. His four arms hold the club, conchshell, cakra, and Çäåìga bow. The nectar of His merciful glance is sprinkled on Arjuna. He is the lotus temple where the thoughts of Sanandana-kumära and silent sages stay. His glories purify all the worlds. I worship Lord Bindu-Mädhava.
     3. His lotus feet glisten with light flowing from the new jewel crowns of the dig-éçvara demigods. Moon-crowned Çiva and lotus-born Brahmä bow before Him. His eyes are lotus petals filled with the nectar of mercy. He breaks all enemies into pieces. I worship Lord Bindu-Mädhava.
     4. He reclines on a bed of kalpa-flowers, a bed resting on the glorious snake-king Ananta Çeña's coils, coils splashed by the milk-ocean's waves. A garment splendid like molten gold is wrapped about His waist. He breaks into pieces His enemies' glistening sharp weapons. I worship Lord Bindu-Mädhava.
     5. Descending to this world as Lord Matsya, and skillfully destroying the pride of a demon who had stolen the Vedas, He satisfied lotus-born Brahmä. He delivers the poor souls drowning in the ocean of repeated birth and death. He swiftly flies on the bird-king Garuòa. I worship Lord Bindu-Mädhava.
     6. Manifesting the form of Lord Kürma, He held up the mountain-king Meru, which had been placed upon Him by the demons and demigods in the midts of the ocean. Manifesting the form of Lord Varäha, He killed the pride-anointed demon Hiraëyäkña. He put an end to the demon Hiraëyakaçipu. I worship Lord Bindu-Mädhava.
     7. On the head of Virocana's son Bali He placed His foot. With His e battle-axe He killed the demon kings of the earth. With Lord Çiva's great bow and other weapons in His powerful arms, He defated the earth's son Näraka. I worship Lord Bindu-Mädhava.
     8. He defated the Yamunä's swift current. The pride of the demons' wives He broke into pieces. His army defeated Kälayävana's army. He is Balaräma's younger brother and Gada's elder brother. I worship Lord Bindu-Mädhava.
     9. This Bindu-Mädhaväñöaka follows the description of the Lord's ten avatäras, a description given in the famous book named Païca-cämara, a book written by a devotee of Lord Nåsiàha. Anyone who reads or recites these prayers attains even rare or difficult-to-attain desires.

Song 2 (Kedära-räga)

1. gopé-gaëa-kuca-kuìkume raïjita
     aruëa basana çobhe aìge
käëcana-känti-binindita-kalebara
     rä-i paraña rasa-raìge
2. (Refrain) dekha dekha aparüpa gaura-biläsa
läkha yubaté rati yo guru lampaöa
     so aba karala sannyäsa
3. yo braja-badhü-gaëa        dåòha-bhuja-bandhana
          abirata rahata ägora
so tanu pulake pürita aâa òhara òhara

4. yo naöa-bara ghana-çyäma kalebara
     båndä-bipina-bihäré
kahaye balaräma naöa-bara so aba
     akiëcana ghare ghare prema-bhikhäré

     1. In the past He bore marks of red from the kuìkuma on the gopés’ breasts. Now a saffron garment decorates His limbs. In the past He was delighted by Çrématé Rädhäräëé’s sweet touch. Now His fair body rebukes the splendor of gold.
     2. (Refrain) Look! Look at Lord Gaura’s wonderful pastimes! The great debauchee who loved millions of girls now has accepted sannyäsa.
     3. In the past He was tightly bound by the vraja-gopés’ arms. Now He is always overcome with the ecstasy of a devotee’s spiritual love. Now the hairs of His body stand erect in spiritual love. Now tears of spiritual love stream from His eyes.
     4. He was the graceful dancer whose body was dark like a monsoon cloud, the dancer who enjoyed pastimes in Våndävana Forest. Balaräma däsa says: That best of dancers has now become a penniless sannyäsé. Now He goes from house to house begging everyone to give the alms that they will fall in love with Lord Kåñëa.

Song 3 (Sindhuòä-räga)

1. rüpa-koöi-käma jini        bidagadha-çiromaëi
          goloke bihare kutühale
braja-räja-nandana       gopikära präëa-dhana

2. (Refrain) hari hari ki çela rahila mora buke

3. saìge bilasita yära        rädhä candräbalé ära

4. chäòi nägaräli-beça        bhrame pahuà deça deça

cintämaëi nija-guëe      uddhärilä jagaj-jane
          balaräma däsa bahu-düre

     1. Why does He whose handsomeness defeats millions of Kämadevas, who is the crest jewel of the wise and playful, who enjoys blissful pastimes in Goloka, who is Nanda’s son, and who is the gopés’ life-treasure now roll about on the ground?
     2. (Refrain) Alas! Alas! A javelin is plunged in my chest! Why does the king of the rasikäs now weep in the midst of the holy chanting in saìkértana? I do not understand. My heart is filled with pain.
     3. Formerly He enjoyed many pastimes with Rädhäräëé, Candrävalé, and how many hundreds of teenage vraja-gopés? Now the Lord will not even look at a woman’s face. Why did He become a sannyäsé holding a daëòa?
     4. Rejecting His garments of a playful lover, the Lord now wanders from place to place. Going from house to house, He visits the fallen people. With the cintämaëi jewels of His glorious virtues He delivers the people of the world. Only Balaräma däsa is left behind.

Song 4 (Kämoda-räga)

1. kali-yuga matta mataìgaja maradane kumati kariëé düre gela
pämara duragata          näma motima çata

balaräma däsa kahe       ata-eba se jama-mäha
          hari hari çabada kheyäti

     1. The wild elephants of Kali-yuga have fled. The deer of wicked thoughts are noe far away. They who in the past were sinful and misled now wear necklaces strung with hundreds of pearls of the holy names.
     2. (Refrain) The wonderful fair lion of Lord Gaura now enters the mountain cave that is the town of Navadvépa.
     3. Hearing that lion’s roar of sankirtana, the tigers of sins become terrified and the deer of anima and other other yogic powers renounce all their pride.
     4. The rabbits and jackals of renunciation, yajëa, self-control, vows, and equanimity are all afraid. Balaräma däsa says: This comes from the glory of Lord Gaura’s chanting “Hari! Hari!”

Song 5 (Bhäöiyäri-räga)

1. (Refrain) yata yata abatära sära
ghuçite rahila ämära gorä abatära
2. brahmära durlabha kåñëa prema näma dhana

5. swarga-martya-pätäla òubila saba gräme

     1. (Refrain) He is the best of all avatäras. This I say of my Lord Gaura-avatära.
     2. The treasure of Lord Kåñëa’s holy name and love for Lord Kåñëa—a treasure even the demigod Brahmä finds difficult to attain—Lord Gaura gives to everyone, even to the caëòälas. He fills the world with that treasure.
     3. He plunges even the mlecchas, blapshemers, and others like them into a flood of the nectar of ecstatic spiritual love. He makes everyone in the world dance and sing.
     4. He makes even the birds, beasts, tigers, deer, and fish dance, sing, laugh, and weep in kértana.
     5. He plunges the heavenly, middle, and lower worlds in the nectar of ecstatic love. Only Balaräma däsa is not plunged. Only he is cheated.

Song 6 (Kämoda-räga)

1. nabadwépa-gagane uyala dina räti

2. dekha dekha gaura jalada abatära

8. täpita cätaka tirapita bhela

9. òubala abané käho nähi öhäma
saàsärera acale rahalu balaräma

     1. Staying in the sky of Navadvépa, a monsoon cloud day and night showers nectar rains on the moving and unmoving beings.
     2. Look! Look! The monsoon cloud of Lord Gaura has descended to this world! Without stop It showers the nectar of ecstatic spiritual love.
     3. Now the whole world is filled with rain. Now the people are plunged in the nectar of Lord Kåñëa’s glories.
     4. Now the wild-peacock devotees dance. Even the beggar non-devotees are plunged in the nectar waters.
     5. Nourished by the rains, the vine of bhakti grows very large and fills the three worlds. Everyone, from the highest to the lowest, will taste the fruit of divine love that grows on that vine.
     6. The monsoon cloud of Lord Gaura hurls a thunderbolt of kértana, a thunderbolt that falls on the imposter sannyäsés. The roaring cloud hurls another thunderbolt, a thunderbolt that breaks the impersonalists into pieces.
     7. Another thunderbolt cleaves in two the snake of karma’s heart. Then Kali-yuga’s bewildering illusions are drowned in that monsoon’s flooding waves of nectar. 
     8. The thirsty cätaka birds of the devotees are all delighted by drinking the nectar falling from that monsoon cloud. Now the ten directions are filled with flooding rivers of nectar.
     9. The whole world is plunged in the flooding nectar of ecstatic spiritual love. There is no escape. Only Balaräma däsa has escaped. Standing on the dry mountain peak of repeated birth and death, he has escaped that flood.

Song 7 (Rämakeli-räga)

1. gaura sundara pahuà        nadéyä udaya kari

3. gadädhara dekhi kände      pahuà thira nähi bändhe

     1. Coming to Nadéyä filling the worlds with His gift of ecstatic spiritual love and giving everyone the gift of Lord Kåñëa’s holy names Lord Gaurasundara delivered the sinners the blasphemers the poor the fallen the low-born and everyone else.
     2. (Refrain) Hearing of Lord Gauräìga’s glories my life-breath weeps. Seeing the people did not know the truth Lord Gauräìga His heart unsteady began to call out “Chant the holy name of Hari!” 
     3. Seeing Gadädhara Lord Gauräìga began to weep. Walking with unsteady steps with His hands He grasps Svarüpa Dämodara and Rämänanda Räya. Saying “Ah! The graceful footprints of My Lord!” Lord Gauräìga began to roll about in the dust. Then embracing Lord Nityänanda He wept.
     4. Everyone including even the blind and deaf became wild because of Lord Gaura’s glories. In all the directions no one knew anything but Him. Raising His arms He chanted “Haribol!¢ He hugged the fallen people. Lord Gaura plunged the people of the world in the nectar of ecstatic spiritual love. From the highest to the lowest He transformed every person into a great devotee of the Lord. Only Balaräma däsa He did not transform. Only Balaräma däsa was cheated.

Song 8 (Çré-räga)

1. kothäya ächila gorä emana sundara

     1. Where is anyone handsome and glorious like Lord Gaura? His handsome form charms all of Nadéyä.
     2. His glistneing hair is neatly bound and decorated with raìgaëa mälaté yüthé pärulé bakula and many other kinds of flowers. 
     3. Eager for nectar how many black bees floy amongst those flowers? When they see Lord Gaura they cannot keep their life’s breath peaceful within their bodies.
     4. A necklace of pearls and jewels glistens on His chest. On His every limâ ornaments glisten like lightning.
     5. Kuìkuma and sandal paste anoint His limbs. His arms reach to His knees. A forest garland rests on His neck.
     6. He walks slowly and gracefully. He sways from side to side. His neck sways from side to side. He is a flood of nectar.
     7. His anklets sweetly jangle as He walks. Balaräma däsa says: Please worship Him.

Song 9 (Beloyära-räga)

1. sahaja-i käëcana-känti kalebara hera-ite jaga-jana-mano-mohaniyä

     1. His form is splendid like gold. Gazing at Him the world’s people find their hearts enchanted. How many millions of Kämadevas does He enchant? His splendid garments defeat the rising sun.
     2. His heart is overcome with the ecstatic love Çré Rädha’ feels. Slowely he walks. He stumbles and falls to the ground. He trembles and perspires. The hairs of His body stand erect. Loudly He roars.
     3. He staggers as He walks. He cannot keep still. Like two clouds His eyes shower a monsoon of tears. He is drowning in an nectar ocean of ecstatic spiritual love. He cannot swim to the shore. He hugs the fallen sinners. He sprinkles them with His tears.
     4. How many times does He call out “Hari! Hari!¢ and weep? Day and night He is wild with ecstatic love. Hearing Him chant “Hari! Hari!” the whole world is delivered. Only fallen Balaräma däsa is not delivered. Only he is cheated.

Song 5 (Çré-räga)

     1. He is a great avatära! O my brothers He is a great avatära! To the fallen people of the world He gave the treasure-house of ecstatic spiritual love.
     2. Lord Gauracandra’s pastimes are wonderful. He is glorious like a king. Staggering in ecstasy He steadies Himself by holding a Vaiçëava’s shoulders.
     3. No other avatära is like Him.

     1. (Refrain) Look! Look at Lord Gaura's wonderful pastimes! As in the past He lifted Govardhana Hill. so again He lifted it in Navadvépa and Néläcala.
     2. As the people of the world were worshiping Kali-yuga Lord Gaura taught them to worship instead the Govardhana Hill of pure devotional service. That hill has nine parts beginning with the part of hearing the Lord's glories. On that hill are many kalpa-taru trees whose fruits are the five rasas.
     3. The grass on that hill is the devotees’ bodily hairs standing erect in ecstasy. The streams on that hill are the tears that flow from the devotees’ yearning hearts. The gentle breezes blowing by that hill are the devotees’ trembling in ecstasy. Using their own senses as the paraphernalia of worship the people woprshiped that Govardhana Hill of devotional service. At the end they attained their desired boon the jewels of ecstatic spiritual love.
     4. Seeing what the people of the world had done the King Indra of Kali-yuga trembled with rage. Taking with him the Airävata elephant of impiety the Queen Indrani of wicked thoughts and the great hosts of his armies that Indra came to this world.
     5. As the clouds of lust showered torrents of rain and the thunderbolts of anger fell the people of the world became afraid. As hailstones of greed an illusion fell and a sharp hurricane wind of envy and other vices blew the people's peacefulness flew away.
     6. Aware of the calamity that had fallen on the people merciful Lord Gauräìga thought and thought trying to find a solution. Deciding that to life the life of a devotee is the best solution He lifted the Govardhana Hill of devotional service. 
     7. When the people took shelter under that hill their suffering and lamentation fled far away. Their fear of Kali-yuga was broken into pieces. The embarrassed King Indra of Kali-yuga was defeated and he spoke many prayers before Lord Kåñëa's lotus feet.
     8. Now humbled he asked forgiveness. He was an individual soul taking shelter of the Supreme Lord. He said “O Lord I praise Your glories. Please do not punish me. You are the Supreme Truth. This I know for certain."
     9. Then Lord Gauräìga gave mercy to him. That is why Kali-yuga is known as a fortunate and glorious time. In this world to this day Kali-yuga is famous in this way. Caitanya däsa says: Yuga after yuga manifesting this pastime like the lifting of Govardhana Hill the Lord delivers the fallen souls.

     2. Tilaka glistens on his forehead. He is plunged and plunged in the nectar of ecstatic spiritual love. His eyes are now reddish. 
     3. A gentle smile rests on His lips. His words are sweet. Tilting His neck He casts a glance. He sighs. 
     4. His chest sways to and fro. His garland of raìgana flowers sways with it. How many nectar pastimes does He enjoy? How much of the nectar of ecstatic spiritual love does He taste?
     5. His limbs are anointed with sandal paste. He is graceful and playful. A campaka flower that is the king of sweet fragrances decorates His curly hair.
     6. Devakénandana says: O foolish friend please listen. Why do you not accept the truth the truth that Lord Gaura is Kåñëa Himself Kåñëa the amorous teenage boy who wears a forest-flower garland.

     1. Now that Lord Gaura has gone ot East Bengal His close associates suffer. How many ways do they lament? Anyone who hears Lakñmépriyä-devé weep feels his heart break in two. He feels daylight had suddenly become blinding darkness.
     2. (Refrain) Alas! Alas! She cannot bear separation fro Lord Gauräìga. If once again she saw Lord Gaura's face then all her sufferings would perish. Then her life's breath would remain in her body.
     3. Hearing Çacé's laments every living being weeps. Mäliné tries to console her. The ladies of Nadéyä weep moment after moment. Their garments and ornaments no longer seem glorious to them.
     4. How many days must pass before the auspicious day comes the day when they see Lord Gauräìga walk on the path by the Gaìgä's banks? Hearing words come from His moonlike face the living entities will find their burning sufferings turn into cooling bliss. Alas! Now that Lord Gaura is absent Govinda Ghoña's body has become emaciated wasted away.

   4. Tears flowed from His reddened eyes. He could not find the limit of that ecstatic love. He renounced everything.
   5. He renounced everything, accepted sannyäsa, and wandered from place to place. He tried to understand Rädhä's love, but He could not.
   6. Govinda däsa says: It was in the company of Svarüpa Dämodara and Rämänanda Räya that Lord Caitanya, overwhelmed, tasted the nectar of ecstatic love for Çré Çré Kiçoré-Kiçora, the teenage divine couple.

They begged everyone please to accept the great treasure of love They had brought from the spiritual world of Goloka. I acted very badly. I refused to accept it.
   2. (Refrain) O my wicked heart! A great javelin is now pushed into my heart. The saìkértana chanting of the holy names brought a great monsoon of spiritual love. Every heart was plunged in that monsoon. Only my heart was not plunged. Destiny cheated me.
   3. Resting in the shade of the kalpa-taru tree of the feet of Çré Guru and the Vaiñëavas every soul has forgotten his burning sufferings. Not I. I am very unfortunate. I drank poison. Now I have become like a wild man. Even after a yuga I will not be delivered.
   4. I will throw myself into a fire. I will drown in the waters. Sinful I will drink poison and die. If in spite of all my efforts destiny does not allow me to die then how can I be happy as I live and breathe?
   5. I do not hear the descriptions of Lord Gauräìga's glories. Alas! Alas! I burn in the flames of a fire. The Hare Kåñëa mahä-mantra does not fill my mouth. Govinda däsa has become a walking corpse.

   4. Lord Çiva meditates on Their feet. Four-headed Lord Brahmä yearns to meet Them. These two Lords Lord Caitanya and lord Nityänanda, embrace the fallen souls and weep. What more shall Govinda däsa say?

   1. In Kali-yuga Lord Caitanya made the earth fortunate and glorious. He was the purifier of the fallen souls. At that time He manifested a form effulgent like gold a form effulgent like Çré Rädhä’s.

   2. (Refrain) Descending to this world Lord Caitanya purified the fallen souls. Seeing (the fallen souls bitten by) the snake of Kali-yuga Lord Caitanya became like Dhanvantari. Giving them the medicine of Lord Kåñëa's holy names He rescued the fallen souls.
   3. Gadädhara and the other great great devotees chanted Lord Gaura's glories. The Supreme Personality of Godhead the master of the all the worlds the master who stays in the spiritual world of Goloka descended to this world. He chanted "Hari!" In ecstasy He rolled on the ground.
   4. Remembering the glories of His previous incarnation He fell unconscious again and again. At these times the earth became filled by bliss by His touch. The touch of His lotus feet and lotus toenails made the whole world glorious. Only Govinda däsa was cheated of Their touch.

   2. In my heart I see Lord Advaita the husband of Sétä. 
   3. To Lord Gaura He offers new tulasé-maëjaré after new tulasé-maëjaré. He smiles and smiles. Sometimes Lord Gaura manifests a fair form sometimes a dark form or sometimes a red form. How many different forms does Lord Gaura manifest? Who knows?
   4. At Lord Gaura's right is Puruñottama Paëòita. At His left is Vämadeva. Gazing at these glorious pastimes everyone is filled with wonder. Govinda däsa thus sings the glories of Lord Gaura.

Song 1 (Kämoda-räga)

1. iha kali-yuga dhanya       nityänanda çré-caitanya

          hena yuge baïcita kaila bidhi

     1. Kali-yuga is a fortunate and glorious time for then Lord Caitanya and Lord Nityänanda descend to this world to save the fallen souls. With compassionate eyes seeing the suffering fallen souls the two Lords string a jewel-necklace of the holy names.
     2. Because His very virtuous Lord Gaura gives away the great treasure of spiritual love. Going from person to person He gives every fallen soul the gift of this treasure. Accompanied by His devotees Lord Gaura-Hari goes from house to house begging and begging everyone please to accept His gift.
     3. To everyone even to the fools the lame and the blind He gives His gift of ecstatic spiritual love. Now everyone becomes wild with ecstatic spiritual love. Turning away from food and drink they sing and dance.
     4. I did not worship a Lord that was so kind. I was born. Not yet have I died. I was cheated of the treasure Lord Nityänanda brought. Kåñëa däsa who is worthless like a pile of ashes says: I have no hope but Him. Even though it is the auspicious Kali-yuga destiny still cheated me of this treasure.

     1. (Refrain) He whose body was dark now has a fair complexion. Leaving Gokula He came to Nadéyä. Putting down His flute He now sings the holy names.
     2. Leaving the Yamunä He came to the Gaìgä's banks. There He enjoys pastimes. Putting down His yellow garments now He wears the saffron cloth of a sannyäsé.
     3. Sweet-faced Rädha‘ is no longer at His left. The vraja-gopis are no longer around Him. Now Gadädhara Paëòita is at His left. Now He always enjoys pastimes with His devotees.
     4. He abandoned His glorious hair. Now He wears a çikhä. With His mouth He now loudly calls the holy names. Hari-vallabha says: Turning away from crooked playful glances He now makes flooding rivers of tears flow from His eyes.

     1. First I shall bow down. Then I shall sing. I sing that Lord Gauräìga Gosa-i Lord Advaita and Lord Nityänanda are my only shelter. I have no shelter but Them. 
     2. O Lords please place Your glance of mercy upon me. Please write that I am the servant of Your servants.
     3. I grasp Your feet. Please be merciful to me. There is no one like You. Casting a glance on the fallen souls of every place You deliver them all.
     4. You give shelter to anyone who approaches You. With my eyes in my heart or in my dreams I have not seen anyone like You.
     5. Who speaks kind words the way You do?  O Lords I a poor sinner place a request before You.
     6. Placing a blade of grass between my teeth I place my request before You: Please place this Vallabha däsa always at the Vaiñëavas’ feet.

Jagadänanda

Song 1 (Sri-räga)

1. päpe purala påthibé parisara pekhi parama dayäla
prema-paya paripürëa payo-nidhi prakaöa praëata-päla
2. (Refrain) pahuà patita-päbana näma

4. püja-i paçupati padma äsana päda-paìkaja-dwandwa
para païca pathe paòi pekhi nä pekhala jagadänanda andha

     1. Seeing that the earth was filled with sins, the supremely merciful Lord, the protector of the surrendered souls, flooded the earth with an ocean of ecstatic spiritual love.
     2. (Refrain) He who bears the name Patita-pävana (purifier of the fallen) is the Supreme Lord. He is the abode of the nectar of spiritual love. He is Lord Krsna, for whom the gopis feel the sweet nectar of love.
     3. He who is the protector of the surrendered souls came to this world, met with His previous associates, enjoyed pastimes, and removed the sins of this world.
     4. Çiva and Brahmä worship His lotus feet. Blind Jagadänanda, who stumbles as he walks on the path, even if he looks, cannot see Him.

Song 2 (Dhanaçé-räga)

1. ageyäna-dhwänta duranta nimagana
     akhila loka nehäri

2. (Refrain) saba diga daraçana bhela

4. dulaha sampade déna duragata

janama ändhala      ekali rahu häsa
          jagata bähira düra

     1. Seeing that all the worlds were plunged into the unbearable darkness of ignorance, He placed a glistening lamp in Navadvépa.
     2. (Refrain) Now all the directions are clearly seen. The glistening light shines within and without. All the darkness has fled far away.
     3. Now everyone has left the bad path. Now everyone happily walks on the path of the saints. Everyone wears a golden necklace of the Lord's holy names, a necklace where the jewels are the ecstasies of spiritual love.
     4. Now the poor misguided people are rich with that great spiritual treasure. The whole world is filled with that treasure. Only one lonely person, a person blind from birth, is shut out from that world of treasure.

Song 3 (Dhanaçé-räga)

1. nara hari-näma antare achu bhävaha habe bhaba-sägare pära
dhara re çrabaëe nara hari-näma sädare cintämaëi uha sära
2. yadi kåta-päpé ädare kabhu mantraka-räja çrabaëe kare päna

4. ithe kåta biñaya tåñëä pahuà näma-härä yo dhäraëe çrama tära
kutåñëa-jagadänanda kåta-kalmaña kumati rahala kärägära

     1. O people, when in your hearts you love Lord Kåñëa's holy names, then you will cross to the farther shore of the ocean of birth and death. O people, with your ears please grasp Lord Kåñëa's holy names. With love and respect hold the cintämaëi jewel of Lord Kåñëa's holy names.
     2. If you have committed sins, then with your ears drink the sweet nectar of the king of mantras. Lord Çré Kåñëa Caitanya will save you from all sins and sufferings.
     3. Accept Lord Gaura as your master. Take shelter of the Vaisnavas. Wear the necklace of Lord Kåñëa's holy names. Even the most misbehaved and unimportant person in this world will become a saint by chanting Lord Kåñëa's holy names.
     4. One should thirst after Lord Kåñëa's holy names. One should wear a necklace of Lord Kåñëa's holy names. With great diligence one should meditate on Lord Kåñëa's holy names. These words were spoken by Jagadänanda, a person who thirsts after the wrong things, a sinner with a wicked heart, a criminal who resides in a prison.

Song 4 (Kämoda-räga, Kandarpa-täla)

1. däminé-däma-damana ruci daraçane, düre ge-o darapaki däpa

4. yo sama bidhika adhika nähi anubhaba, tulanä dibära nähi öhora
jagadänanda kahu pahuàka tulanä pahuà nirupama gaura-kiçora

     1. His glory eclipses lightning. It makes the glistening mirror's pride flee far away. Who counts golden flowers glorious in comparison to Him? He makes the reddish dawn burn with envy.
     2. (Refrain) I approach Lord Gaura's gloriosu form and I surrender everything to Him. I gaze at the nectar moon of His face. I fall at His feet. I grasp His feet glorious with ten toenails.
     3. I gaze at His golden form. Aware of how unworthy I am, I burn with shame. I feel as if my body had burned to ashes, as if I had entered a great fire.
     4. No one is greater than Him. No one is equal to Him. Jagadänanda says: Only the Lord Himself is the Lord's equal. Lord Gaura-kiçora has no equal.

Song 5 (Çré-räga)

1. gaura-kalebara mauli manohara cikura aiche nehäri
janu hema mahédhara çikhare cämara de-i ura-para òäri
2. péna ura upanéta kåta upabéta, sétimä raìga

4. jagata änanda pahuìka pada-nakha, lakha-i aichana chanda
janu ménaketana, karu nirmaïchana, caraëe de-i daça canda

     1. I gaze at Lord Gaura hair and head and form like a golden mountain summit and a cämara whisk.
     2. His glorious broad chest adorned with a sacred thread is like a golden mountain where a glistening wave-filled Gaìgä flows.
     3. His glorious limbs half covered by garments, He is like a dawning sun shining from behind the clouds.
     4. Lord Gaura's toenails that delight the worlds are like the püjari Kämadeva offering ärati and placing ten moons before Lord Gaura's feet.

Jagannätha däsa

Song 1 (Bhäöiyäri-räga)

1. phälguna-purëimä tithi çubhaga sakali

2. ambare amara sabe bhela unamukha

7. déna-héna uddhära ha-ibe bhela äça

     1. When Lord Gaura takes birth at an auspicious moment during the full-moon of Phalguna month, there will be a joyous tumult.
     2. When Lord Gaura takes birth the demigods will appear in the sky. They will crane their necks to see Him. All sufferings will flee far away.
     3. Conchshells and dundubhi drums are sounded with great joy. The demigods call out, “Jaya!¢ and shower flowers.
     4. Men, women, children, everyone raise a great tumult of “Hari!", a tumult that fills the worlds.
     5. Then, when the full-moon was manifest, at an auspicious moment Lord Gaura took birth in this world.
     6. Then, when Rähu swallowed the moon, a great cry of “Hari! Hari!¢ filled the worlds.
     7. Seeing the great hope that the poor fallen people will soon be delivered, Jagannätha däsa now floats in bliss.

     1. Glory to Çacé's son, Lord Gaura-Hari! Glory to the purifier of the worlds! Glory tothe Lord who enjoys pastime sin Nadéyä!
     2. Glory to the Lord who delivered Cäpäla-Gopäla! Glory to the Lord who removed teh sins of Jagäi and Mädhäi!
     3. Glory to the savior of all the worlds! Glory to the Lord who holds a daëòa and kamaëòalau!
     4. Glory to Lord Gaura-Hari, who manifests the form of the youthful divine couple! Glory to the Lord who enjoys pastimes in the heart of enthralled Jaya däsa!

          çamana-kiìkare dibe phäìki

     1. In the ocean of Çacé's womb, the regal jewel of Lord Gauräìga was manifest in this world. Gazing at the spelndor of this jewel, the people of the world yearned to attain it, and the great sins quickly hid. 
     2. (Refrain) Ah! He came and gazed at the moon of Lord Gaura! In the presence of the moon of Lord Gauräìga's face, of what use is the moon in the sky? Gazing at the moon fo Lord Gauräìga's face, the sky's embarrassed moon wept.
     3. Anyone who drinks the nectar of that moon finds his hunger flees far away. The sky's moon says: The very name of this moon is nectar. Anyone who drinks that nectar finds the hungers of this world of birth and death flee far away. That person becomes free from old age and death.
     4. On the nectar moon of Lord Gaura's face flows a nectar river of Lord Keñka's holy names. JOäna däsa has himself taken some sips from that river. When the drummer of Lord Gaura's holy name beats his big drum, the fears of this world fo birth and death flee. Those drumbeats scatter Yamaräja's servants.

Song 2 (Dhänaçré-räga)

1. (Refrain) hema-baraëa bara       sundara bigraha

          jOäna däsa naha pära

     1. (Refrain) His graceful golden form is a divine tree, a tree where His boldy hairs standing erect are the leaves, His ecstatic spiritual love is the ripe fruit, and His gentle smile is the flowers.
     2. Charming, wonderful, glorious Lord Gaura dances by the Gaìgä's stream. To the residents of the three worlds He gives a necklace of the jewels of devotional service.
     3. His body is filled with the nectar of ecstatic spiritual love. His nectar form displays the symptoms of ecstatic love. His graceful motions are like an intoxicated elephant's walk. He enchants the heart. He overwhelms millions of Kämadevas.
     4. Glorious is the circle of the earth! Glorious is Nadéyä-pura! Glorious, glorious is the age of Kali! Glorious is Lord Gaura's descent to this world! Most glorious of all glories is His saìkértana movement of chanting the holy names! JOäna däsa knows nothing more glorious than saìkértana.

     1. Look! Look! Look! Who is this person with a fair complexion, with curved eyebrows and eyes with crooked glances? He cannot be Nanda's gopa son. He cannot be Yaçodä's beloved son. He cannot be the boy that robbed the gopés of their hearts.
     2. In the past His hair was glorious. Now His head is shaved. Now He wears a kaupéna and a sannyäsé's garments. In the past He charmed the gopés' hearts. In the past He played charming melodies on his flute. Now He carries a sannyäsé's daëòa.
     3. In the past He sat under a kadamba tree, placed the flute to His lips, and played melodies that were actually songs chanting Çré Rädhä's name. Now He stands by the Gaìgä's banks, raises His arms, and always sings in saìkértana.
     4. In the past He was the teenage hero of amorous pastimes. In the past He enjoyed many pastimes with the gopés in the middle of the forest. Now He wears the garments of a sannyäsé. Accompanied by His companions, He begs everyone to accept the chanting of Lord Kåñëa's holy names. Känu däsa speaks these words.

Song 2 (Baräòé-räga)

     1. Nowhere have I seen mercy like this, mercy to the fallen souls. Never have I seen mercy like the mercy Lord Caitanya gave to the poor fallen people.
     2. Following the yuga-dharma, He wandered as a sannyasi from place to place. Meeting the poor souls He begged them to accept the treasure of ecstatic spiritual love. In this way He gave His mercy.
     3. He mercifully gave the great hidden treasure of nama-sankirtana, of the chanting of His own holy names. He was equally merciful to all, to the saints, sinners, fools, lame, blind, and sick. 
     4. When He saw how the three worlds suffered the three-fold miseries, His eyes filled with tears fo love. Showering His glance of mercy, He brought cooling relief to the suffering worlds. Känu däsa speaks these words.

     1. Nitäi and Caitanya are exalted avatäras. No one is merciful like Them.
     2. How many hundreds of mlecchas, caëòälas, blasphemers, and offenders did They deliver? 
     3. Why does the descent of Nitäi and Caitanya to this world mean nothing to me? Alas! My heart is very cruel. How can I live a happy life?
     4. Many many avatäras have come to this world. O my brothers, none of Them are like these avatäras. 
     5. I did not worship those two Lords. Raising my hand to my mouth, I have drunk poison.
     6. The whole world is plunged into the nectar of kértana brought by Lord Gaura. Alas! Not even a drop of that nectar has touched this unfortunate soul.
     7. With his own hands Kåñëa däsa pulls the hairs from his head. Alas! Alas! I am very unfortunate! Why do I not die?

     1. O blapshemer brother, why do you not understand? Your eyes have become useless. Although Lord Gauräìga is the best of all avatäras, still you turn your eyes from Him.
     2. The people drink liquor and kill unborn children and commit many sins. The tantric religion has covered the world. Bringing many gifts, the people worship yakñas, räkñasas and Goddess Mänasä.
     3. Seeing the peoples' fallen condition, my mnaster, Çré Caitanya became manifest in Navadvépa.He begged everyone to please accept the holy name of Lord Hari, a name delivers the chanter. In this way the Lord stopped the decline of true religion.
     4. With the gift of Lord Hari's holy name He delivered Jagäi, Mädhäi, and a host of sinners. By His influence the brähmaëas and yavanas now meet and embrace. Even just once you should see this sight.
     5. The blasphemers have now become devotees. The lame now walk. The blind now see. Poor Kåñëa däsa says: If you have no faith in these words, you will not be delivered.

     1. The great gardener of Çäntipura brought a young sapling from Vaikuëöha and gave it to Nitäi. Nitäi took the sapling from His hand. När3ä carefully planted it.
     2. In the most glorious place of Nadéyä He made a garden. There the gardener planted the Caitanya tree. Day after day the tree grew. Its branches and leaves were beyond number. The gardener watered it, and it grew.
     3. Watered with the waters of bhakti (devotional service), that beautiful tree bore two kinds of fruits: näma (the holy name) and prema (ecstatic spiritual love). The birds that are the invidual spirit souls yearn to taste those two fruits. There is always an uproar. 
     4. The gardener Nitäi joyfully picked these two kinds of fruits, placed them in a basket, and carried that basket on His head. Those fruits He distributed to everyone without considering caste or birth. Anyone who tasted these fruits found all his sufferings and troubles came to an end.
     5. Saying, "Please take. Take. Take.", the gardener Nitäi gave those fruits to everyone, even down to the caëòälas. Whoever wished those fruits at ocne received them. The persons who did not wish those fruits received them anyway. Even the yavanas relished those fruits.
     6. Because of my past misdeeds I did not see that tree. I did not see that merciful gardener. Placing a blade of straw between my teeth, I, wicked-hearted Kåñëa däsa, say: Alas! Alas! A flaming calamity has fallen on my head!

Song 4 (Dhänaçé-räga)

          pä-iyä baïcita kåñëa däse

     1. Lord Gaura is a flowing river of spiritual love, a river where Lord Nitäi is the waves and mercy is the breeze blowing in the four directions. Now the ecstasies of love rise and fall in that river. Now the world lets out a tumultous roar. Now every person's burning sufferings and thirsts are at once destroyed.
     2. (Refrain) Look! Look! There are the merciful Lords Caitanya and Nitäi! In the moonlight the swans of the devotees drink and drink from that river of love. Loudly they sing. Not one of them is cheated of drinking that nectar.
     3. Rüpa Gosvämé and Sanätana Gosvämé dive deep into that river. Up they come holding treasures of many jewels, jewels they carefully string onto vines of devotional service, string into necklaces they place on the fallen souls' necks, souls the flames of whose sufferings will soon be extinguished, will far away be cast.  
     4. In those waters of nectar grows a lotus forest filled with nectar pastimes of saìkértana, a forest whose fragrance fills the worlds, a forest where the wild bumblebees and blossoming flowers are the devotees. Alas! Kåñëa däsa is still cheated of the nectar of that forest.

     1. From the ten directions hundreds and hudreds of flooding rivers of the sweetest nectar of Lord Kåñëa's pastimes flow into the eternal lake of Lod Caitanya's pastimes. O swans of the devotees' thoughts, please fly to that lake.
     2. (Refrain) O devotees, please hear my words about Lord Caitanya. All of you please make Lord Kåñëa's graceful feet the ornaments of your bodies. This I request of you.
     3. O bumblebees of the devotees' thoughts, please taste the sweet nectar in the blossoming lotus forest of the truths of devotion to Lord Kåñëa. Day and night please fly in the blossoming lotus forest of ecstatic love for Lord Kåñëa.
     4. O swans and cakraväka birds of the devotees, please enjoy many kinds of pastimes in those lotus forests. Always stay amongst the lotus-stalks of Lord Kåñëa's pastimes. Enjoy there.
     5. O swans and cakraväka birds of the devotees, go to that lake of Lord Caitanya's pastimes. Always enjoy pastimes there. Your sufferings will be broken into pieces. You will find supreme happiness. Kåñëa däsa confidently speaks these words.

          gäya kichu déna kåñëa-däsa

     1. Moment after moment the great saints shower on the garden of this world a monsoon of the nectar of Lord Gaura's pastimes. From these monsoon rains grow the fruits of ecstatic spiritual love. Again and again the devotees eat these fruits. By eating these fruits the people of the world become alive with the ecstasy of spieitual love.
     2. The nectar of Lord Caitanya's pastimes with the camphor of Lord Kåñëa's pastimes combine to make a very great sweetness. Persons who in their hearts carry the mercy of the spiritual master and the saints can understand the great sweetness of that nectar drink.
     3. If a devotee merely eats food and drinks drinks and does not taste the nectar of the Lord's pastimes, then his life will become very weak. But if he tastes a single drop of that nectar then his body and mind will blossom with happiness. Then he will dance and sing and laugh.
     4. If a person drink that nectar alone and nothing else, then the faith in his heart will become very strong. He will not fall down into the pit of illogical ideas. He will not fall into the horrible whirlpool of sins. He will not fall into a calamity where all is lost.
     5. O hearers of this song, please make the graceful feet of Çré Caitanya, Çré Nityänanda, Çré Advaita, and all Their devotees the ornament you carry on your heads. Do this and all your desires will be fulfilled.
     6. Please place the graceful feet of Çré Rupa Gosvami, Çré Sanatana Gosvami, and Çré Raghunatha dasa Gosvami upon your heads. Then your desires will be fulfilled. In this way poor Kåñëa däsa sings a brief song about some of the nectar of Lord Kåñëa's pastimes and the nectar of Lord Caitanya's pastimes.

     1. O my brothers, at the Nadéyä ferry-landing is a wonderful ferry-boat. At that ferry-boat's stern stand Lord Nitäi and Lord Caitanya, the boat's captain.
     2. In that ferry-boat Çré Rüpa, Çré Sanätana, Çré Jéva, Çré  Gopäla, and the two Çré Raghunäthas are the six oarsmen.
     3. Loudly Lord Nitäi calls, "O My brothers, who amongst you will cross the ocean of birth and death? Without paying even a single penny, you may cross in Our ferry to the other shore.
     4. "Without taking the trouble to pay even a little attar incense, who will cross, O My brothers, to the farther shore? Caitanya and Nitäi will take everyone across."
     5. Kåñëa däsa says: O my brothers, please chant, “Hari! Hari!" At the ferry-landing of Caitanya and Nitäi you need not pay even a single penny.

     1. (Refrain) Please meditate on youthful Lord Gaurasundara as the hero Kåñëa, Kåñëa who wears a forest garland. Kåñëa, who is an ocean of mercy and who dearly loves the devotees, has now become Lord Gaurasundara, the moon of Nadéyä.
     2. His face is a moon. His lips are flowers. Flooding waves of ecstatic spiritual love flow from His eyes as tears. His face is effulgent like millions of moons. His curly hair is decorated with flowers. Tilaka decorates His nose and forehead. His teeth are pearls. His smile is nectar. He is splendid like rainclouds and lightning.
     3. Shark-shaped earrings glisten at His cheeks. His neck shines with the Kaustubha jewel. He wears reddish garments. His words are kind. He is filled with grace and glory. His limbs are anointed with sandal-paste. He shames millions of Kämadevas. He wears candana bracelets, jewel anklets, and a glorious sacred-thread.
     4. The devotees sing His gloires. The goddess of fortune serves His feet. Please slowly, slowly approach Him. Surrender everything to Him. Poor Kåñëa däsa says: My yearn to attain the shelter of Lord Gaura's feet. I pray that Lord Nitäicandra, who purifies the fallen, will give to me the gift of ecstatic spiritual love.

     1. A shoreless ocean of bliss flooded Lord Gauracandra's abhiñeka. Thus the devotees describe the Lord's pastime.
     2. From head to foot the hairs of His body stod erect. He defeated the golden lion's mane or the kadamba flower's buds.
     3. His heart is filled with ecstasy. With a choked voice He speaks broken words. He fulfills everyone's desires.
     4. Lord Gaura, who is Çacé's son, is the life's treasure of all who live. Hearing the description of His moonlike face brings cooling bliss to every heart.
     5. Of all who have faith in Lord Gauracandra's pastimes sad Kåñëa däsa is the servant. He is the servant of their servants.

Song 8 (Kalyäëa-räga)

     1. The full-moon of Lord Garua-Hari mercifully appeared on the horizon of Nadiya. Grievous sins were all destrioyed. The three worlds were filled with joy. The universe was filled with the sound of "Hari!"
     2. At that moment Lord Advaita R.aya stood up in His house and began to dance, His heart filled with joy. He and Haridäsa sang a tumultuous kértana. Why did They dance? No one knew.

6.
7.
8.

     1. Seeing Lord Gaura's form more glorious than Kämadeva, Kämadeva after Kämadeva are ashamed. Seeing Lord Gaura's form more glorious than gold, gold personified turns pale and burns in the flames of grief.
     2. (Refrain) What is equal to Lord Gaura's glorious form? In a secluded place Lord Gauräìga rolls on the ground. When will I see Him always?
     3. Compared to Lord Gaura's glorious form, the fair atasi flower is like an ugly bug. To see Lord Gaura's fair form is perhaps a little like seeing lightning flash hiding behind a monsoon cloud.
     4. Lakñmékänta däsa says: Nothing in the three worlds is like Lord Gaura. I will blacken my family's reputation if need be, but I will keep Lord Gaura in my heart. I will worship Him.

     3. The ferry-boat is Lord Kåñëa's holy names. The boat-captain is the spiritual master. The oars in the outstretched hands are saìkértana.

     2. In Kali-yuga the people have fallen lifeless and unconscious. By giving them the nectar of Lord Kåñëa's holy name, these two Lords have brought them back to life.
     3. O my brothers, what kind of avatäras sare these two Lords? Never have i heard of anyone like Them. They deliver the fallen sinners. They go from house to house searching for them.
     4. O my brothers, never have there been such avatäras. Never in any yuga. What avatära begs the sinners for a gift of their sinful reactions?
     5. Even when They were struck and blood flowed from Their bodies, these avatäras, begging them please to accept the gift of ecstatic spiritual love, delivered the attackers.
     6. These avatäras filled the three worlds with the nectar of love for the holy names. Only Locana däsa could not taste that nectar. Only he was cheated of that nectar.

          näbhi hema sarobara
kaöi kari-ari       uru hema-giri
          e locana manohara

     1. Look! Now that you have filled your eyes, what further questions do you have? In Nadéyä-nagara, in Çacé's house, in the daytime a moon shines.
     2. Gold purified how many thousands of times shines as Gaura's fair body? From the monsoon-cloud of Çacé's womb has come a stationary lightning-flash.
     3. How many glorious moons shine as Gaura's face? Even at night they fill all the directions with light. Yearning to gather nectar, the black bees of His eyes fly to the lotus flowers of His ears.
     4. His graceful arms reach to His knees. His navel is a gold lake. His waist is a lion's waist. His thighs are golden mountains. He charms Locana däsa's heart.

     1. One day Lord Gaura suddenly thought in His heart: “For the benefit of the people there, I will go east."
     2. Taking His closest companions with Him, Lord Gaura would travel east. He who is mother Çacé's very life was restless to travel.
     3. To His mother Lord Gaura said: "Please don't worry. I will always be near you."
     4. To Lakñmépriyä smiling Lord Gaura said: "Serve My mother. Be devoted to her."
     5. Accompanied by His close companions, Lord Gaura began His auspicious journey. With a happy heart He traveled.
     6. Brähmaëas and saintly persons stayed on the bank of the Padmävaté. Effulgent spiritual men an women bathed at the ghäöas there.
     7. When Lord Viçvambhara bathed in the Padmävaté, everyone became freed of sins by bathing there.
     8. The people who lived in the east Lord Gaura begged to accept the holy name. He gave them the chanting of Lord Kåñëa's holy name.
     9. He did not consider who was pure or impure, or who had acted well or ill. Everyone He carried to farther bank of the river of birth and death.
     10. Lord Gaura built a boat of näma-saìkirtana (chanting of the holy names). He personally begged everyone to enter that boat. With that boat He brought them all to the farther bank of the river of birth and death.
     11. Anyone who fled from Him, He caught in His arms. Lord Gauräìga, who is Lord Kåñëa Himself, carried those persons to the farther bank of the river of birth and death.
     12. Locana däsa says: Lord Gaura is the master of all the worlds. Giving His mercy to the people, He made them all pure at heart.

     1. Lakñmépriyä-devé, who is devoted to her husband, and who has dedicated her life's breath to her husband, happily serves mother Çacé.
     2. She dresses and decorates the Deity. She cleans the house. She burns incense, lights lamps, cooks for the Diety, prepares sandal paste and flower garlands, and perfoems many other like services.
     3. Çacé artistically decorates the Deity room in many ways. Rapt in this service, she forgets herself.
     4. As long as they are rapt in the Deity's service, Çacé and Lakñmépriyä are are not broken into pieces by grief.
     5. Still, in separation from Lord Gauräìga, Lakñmépriyä finds her heart is tormented with grief. In His absence, her love for Him overwhelms her body.
     6. Her grief in His absence eventually assumed the form of a snake. Seeing that snake, Lakñmépriyä felt great wonder in her heart.
     7. That snake bit Lakñmépriyä's foot. Then Lakñmépriyä returned to the spiritual world. This Locana däsa says.

     1. Lord Gaura returns home with many jewels. To mother Çacé He happily gives the wealth He had brought.
     2. Lord Gaura bows down before her and gazes at her face. He face drawn and withered, Çacé speaks not a word.
     3. Lord Gaura says, "Mother, why is your face so drawn and withered? When I see your face so sad, My heart bursts into flames.
     4. Hearing these words, Çacé speaks some broken words in a  choked voice. Tears stream from her eyes and wet the cloth over her heart.
     5. She has no power to speak. Grief fills her throat. Finally she says, "My daughter-in-law has gone to Vaikuëöha."
     6. Lord Gaura says, "Renounce your grief. O mother, please hear My words. No one can destroy his destiny, the destiny Lord Brahmä writes on his forehead."
     7. Carefully listening to her son's words, Çacé did not lament. She did not lament in her heart.
     8. Locana däsa says: Please hear this pastime, the pastime of Lakñmépriyä's ascent to Vaikuëöha. In this way I have sung of Lord Viçvambhara's pastimes.

     1. (Refrain) O my brothers, please look in the Agama and Nigama scriptures. No one is merciful like Lord Caitanya and Lord Nitäi. This the sinners do not know.
     2. He who is the moon of Våndävana and who in the Satya, Tretä, and Dväpara-yugas taught meditation, yajëa, and Deity worship, has now become the best of dancers. In this yuga He teaches the love the gopés felt.
     3. He who is the master of Gokula, who killed Kaàsa and Keçé, and who was Yaçodä's little boy, has descended to the town of Navadvépa. Now He is Lord Gaura-Hari. Now He delivers the sinners.
     4. In this world He met Balaräma, His elder brother, and He also met His eternal associates. He taught the chanting of His holy names. He taught the glories of ecstatic spiritual love. Even the fallen Caëòälas He made swim in the tears of spiritual love flowing from their eyes.
     5. The fools who rejected Lord Caitanya and who thought themselves great scholars and philosophers were all demons in their previous births. Dvija Mädhava Däsa says: For this offense these fools were for a whole yuga be cheated of Lord Gaura's gift.

     1. Dark Kåñëa and beautiful Rädhä have combined in a single fair form. This truth the common people doubt.
     2. That fragrant form contains the sweetest nectar. That form is like a tree filled with ripe fruits.
     3. He who previously took birth as a gopa has now descended as a brähmaëa to this world. Even the Vedas do not understand Him. His pastimes are very confidential. 
     4. He openly revealed the chanting of Lord Hari's holy names. Now no other sound is heard from any man's or woman's mouth.
     5. Tasting the sweet nectar at the lotus flower of Lord Gaura's feet, Mädhavé däsa sings this sweet song.

Manamatha däsa

Song 1 (Bibhäsa-räga, Daçakuçi)

1. niçi parabhäta samaye kiye pekhaluà, rasamyaa gaura-kiçora

4. gaura-carita réta ki kahaba sampréta, bujha-ite bujha-i nä päri

     1. At dawn I saw charming Lord Gaura-kiçora. His limbs were anointed with sandal and kuìkuma. His ornaments glistened.
     2. All night He had performed kértana. All night He danced, overcome with ecstatic love. The hairs stood erect on His graceful body. His pastimes were glorious.
     3. His reddish eyes were restless. In an eyeblink ecstatic spiritual love arose within Him. He gently smiled.
     4. Who can describe the truth of Lords Gaura's pastimes? I have no power to understand them. Manamatha says: Lord Gaura, who is very difficult to attain, now enjoys pastimes in Nadéyä. An ocean of mercy, under His feet He now tramples Kali-yuga's sins.

     1. (Refrain) The avadhüta Lord Gaura dances. Without stop the perfect full moon of His face tastes the nectar of the mahä-mantra.
     2. His reddish yees defeat the red lotus petals. The pupils of His eyes are like black bees. Tears of ecstatic spiritual love flow down His chest like a celestial Gaìgä flowing down a golden mountain.
     3. His waist defeats the lion's waist. He wears a kaupina and saffron outer garments. On His neck rests a damanaka-flower garland. His ornaments glisten. His nose is like a sesame blossom.
     4. His two graceful arms are two golden lotus-stems. His hands play like two elephant-trunks. The red lotus-flowers are not their equal. Lord Gaura's touch fills the earth with bliss.
     5. From head to foot, the hairs stand erect on His body, hairs glorious like blossoming blue flowers. His trembling body is like a banana tree at dawn. In his heart Mädhava Ghoña yearns to attain Lord Gaura's company.

Muräri

Song 1 (Pahiòä-räga)

häsiyä muräri bole       e nahe kolera chele
          sannyäsé ha-ibe gaura-hari

     1. In Çacé's courtyard crawls infant Gauracandra, who charms all the worlds. For a moment He grasps His mother's finger and walks. Then again He crawls and crawls. Sometimes He walks a few steps, and then again He tumbles to the ground.
     2. As He crawls a splendid tiger-claw necklace swings to and fro on His chest. A lightning-flash smile glistens on the moon of His face. Now His every limb is anointed with dust. How can His mother bear it? She picks Him up.
     3. He is agitated. He cries. Child Gaura scrambles from His mother's lap. She places Him on the ground. Again He crawls. Muräri smiles and says: This is not just another little boy on his mother's lap. This is Lord Hari withn a fair complexion, Lord Hari who later will become a sannyäsé.

Song 2 (Kämoda-räga)

1. çacéra duläla mano-raìge

2. mäjhe gorä çiçu cäri päçe

6. ghana ghana hari-bola çuni

7. muräri änande bhara-püra

     1. His heart filled with delight, Çacé's small son plays with the other boys. 
     2. With the other boys around him on four sides, child Gaura dances. He gently, gently laughs.
     3. Hand in hand, the boys dance to the singing.
     4. One moment there is clapping of hands. The next moment there are calls of "Bravo! Bravo!"
     5. Child Gaura sings, "Hari! Hari!" The other boys also sing, "Hari!"
     6. Hearing the boys sing, "Haribol!", Kali-yuga trembles. He knows a calamity is coming.
     7. Muräri is flooded with bliss. Now the king of sins flees far away.

Narahari däsa

Song 1 (Kämoda-räga)

          yaça gäya däsa narahari

     1. Descending to this world in Navadvépa, Lord Gaura-hari became Çacé's son and enjoyed many pastimes. Performing saìkértana with His dear associates, He filled everyone with bliss.
     2. Accepting a sannyäsé's garments, the Lord wandered from place to place. Then He stayed always at Néläcala. Wild with the ecstatic love Rädhä felt, He did not know if it were day or night. He made the whole world wild with that kind of spiritual love.
     3. Seeing Lord Gaura-Hari's wonderful pastimes, neither Lord Nityänanda-Balaräma, nor Lord Advaita, the abode of transcendental virtues, nor Gadädhara, nor Çréväsa, nor anyone else could remain peaceful. Without stop they were all overcome with ecstatic spiritual love.
     4. Lord Gaura-Hari carefully brought with Him rare and precious jewels, jewels even the demigods cannot obtain. The Lord kindly distributed those jewels to everyone. In this way He made the Kali-yuga a glorious and fortunate time. Thus Narahari däsa sings the glories of Lord Kåñëa Caitanya.

Song 2 (Baräòé-räga)

1. (Refrain) anupama gora abatära

          guëa gäya narahari däsa

     1. (Refrain) The avatära Lord Gaura is without equal. In every country He distributed the nectar of the nine-fold activities of devotional service. He did not consider anyone's caste or birth.
     2. Please worship Lord Gaura. Run far from all worldly duties. Renounce all false desires. The glistening light from the moon of Lord Caitanya has filled the three worlds. Now everything is easily seen.
     3. Lord Caitanya is a kalpa-taru tree. He is the master of all living entities. He brought glory to this world. With compassionate eyes He saw how the souls in this world had become defiled. So He happily gave them the gift of Lord Kåñëa's holy names.
     4. Yajëa, japa, meditation and Deity-worship are the methods of worship for other yugas. In this yuga they are very difficult to perform. In this horrible Kali-yuga the people are sinners. Still, by chanting the holy names they are easily delivered.
     5. Lord Caitanya is mercy personified. Who is His equal? The fallen souls' desires He fulfills. In my heart I do not know anything. Weeping and weeping, Narahari däsa sings Lord Gaura's glories.

Song 3 (Dhänaçé-räga)

1. (Refrain) gauräìga ke jäne mahimä tomära
kali-yuga uddhärite patita-päbana abätara
2. çyäma-mahodadhi       kemane bidhätä 
     mathiyä se kara-täla

3. tri-bhubane prema          bädara ha-ila
          gaura-prema-bariñaëe
déna héna jana      o rasa magana
          narahari guëa gäne

     1. (Refrain) O Lord Gauräìga, who knows Your glories? O purifier of the fallen, You descended to this world to deliver the people of Kali-yuga.
     2. How, simply by playing the karatälas, did You churn the great ocean of love for Lord Kåñëa? O Lord Gauranga, how many flooding currents of nectar did You make flow from that ocean?
     3. You made a monsoon of ecstatic spiritual love flood the three worlds. The poor fallen souls are now plunged in that flood of love. Narahari thus sings the glories of Lord Gauräìga.

Song 4 (Bibhäsa-räga)

1. (Refrain) päçarä nä yäya ämära gauracändera lélä
yäìra guëe paçu-päkhé bujhaye      galiyä paòaya çilä
2. yäìhära nämera lägi        maheça ha-ila yogé

          aparüpa çré-aìgera çobhä
änande bibhora ati       narahari däsa tathi
          dekhiyä se kanakera äbhä

     1. (Refrain) I will not forget Lord Gauracandra's pastimes. When they hear His glories the birds and beasts becoem plunged in bliss and the very stones melt with bliss.
     2. Chanting His name, Çiva has become a yogé and Brahmä is rapt in meditation. Although the chanting of the holy names is difficult even for Brahmä to attain, Lord Gauracandra freely gives that chanting to the people of the three worlds. He begs them please to accept it.
     3. Lord Gauräìga's limbs are charming and glorious. Standing erect, the hairs of His body are like blossoming kadamba flowers. The glory of His limbs is wonderful. Gazing at the golden splendor of His limbs, Narahari däsa is overcome with bliss.

     1. When, on the Phälguna-pürëimä, He who is the supremely auspicious moon of Gokula was manifest in Nadéyä-nägara, an ocean of bliss flooded house after house.
     2. (Refrain) Placing Him on her lap, Çacé gazed at her newborn son. Both were fill with bliss. The maternity-room was filled with glorious splendor.
     3. From the four directions everyone ran to see the child. No one was peaceful. In the darkness of the eclipse, who could see anyone? Numberless people came.
     4. Gazing at the infant's sweetness, everyone filled his eyes. They forgot their own bodies. Narahari says: Why did everyone fall in love with Çacé's newborn son?

bhaëata narahari bipula-bali kali garaba-bhare bhela cüra

     1. Manifesting a fair form, Gokula's master was gloriously manifest from Çacé's supremely auspicious womb. The demigods came there. Filling the room, they bowed down and offered prayers.
     2. On the auspicious full-moon night of Phalguna month, Rahu swallowed the rising moon. At that time the Lord manifested His holy name first. Only in the next moment did He manifest His form.
     3. Sounds of "Jaya! Jaya!" filled the world. No one was peaceful. Gazing at the infant in Jagannätha Miçra's house, everyone became wild with bliss.
     4. Newer and newer kinds of glory and auspiciousness were manifest. Everyone's desires were fulfilled. Narahari says: At that moment powerful Kali-yuga's pride was crushed into dust.

Song 7 (Basanta-räga)

1. jaya jaya jaya maìgala-raba, phälguna-pürëimä-niçi naba çobhita

          miçra-bhubana kautuke narahari hiya unamatäya-e

     1. There are auspicious sounds of "Jaya! Jaya!  Jaya!" On a beautiful full-moon night of Phälguna from Çacé's womb is manifest the fair form of Lord Gaura, Lord Gaura who is in truth Kåñëa, the delight of Vraja. Infant Lord Gaura is effulgent. He is like kuìkuma or like an always-shining lightning flash. The sweetness of His moonlike face fills everyone with wonder, breaks into pieces the peaceful composure of everyone.
     2. Sitting on the clouds, the demigods gaze at Lord Gaura. From the sky they shower flowers. The hairs of their bodies stand erect in ecstasy. How many desires come from the demigods' hearts, desires manifested as restless, beautiful words? How much delightful effulgence flows from the demigods' eyes, effulgence pretending to be tears?
     3. The Kinnaras sweetly sing. "Dhädhiki dhikitä dhik dhik dhik kaöatak!", the mådaìgas sweetly say. The celestial dancing-girls dance. Many glorious dramas are enacted in their dances. "Kathai thai thai ti a-i a-i!", the drums declare.
     4. The ten directions are effulgent and clear. Fragrant breezes blow from the Malaya Hills. The cuckoos chant “Kuhu!" How many glorious signs of spring, the king of seasons, are manifest? The heavenly Gaìgä sweetly flows. Nadéyä is overcome with bliss. The wonder who has appeared in Jagannätha Miçra's home makes Narahari's heart wild with bliss.

Song 8 (Basanta-räga or Toòi-räga)

          utsahe karu kichu nähi småti

     1. Gokula's master, who steals the hearts of all the worlds, has come as Lord Gaura. At that auspicious moment, of what use was the ordinary moon in the sky? Gazing at her son's face. Çacé became filled with bliss. How can anyone describe what she felt?
     2. Multitude after multitude of Nadéyä-pura's women came carrying plates with gifts. Elegantly dressed and decorated demigoddesses mingled with the human women. Once gazing at the newborn infant boy, no one remained peaceful.
     3. Çré Sétä-devé came to the maternity room. Gazing at the infant, she became blissful at heart. Mäliné and many other ladies also came. They floated in bliss. What auspicious ritual did they not perform?
     4. How many cowherd ladies came? Hundreds and hundreds of cowherd men came bringing gifts of yogurt. Everyone was beautifully dressed and decorated. Their hearts were overcome with bliss. They filled the courtyard of the house with their gifts of yogurt.
     5. Some played the karatälas and others laughed and danced. Disguised as cowherd men, the demigods watched all of this. In the courtyard the people encouraged each other to dance. Who did not dance? There were loud calls of "Jaya! Jaya!"
     6. Instrumental music playeed. There was great bliss. Nothing could be compared to it. Jagannätha Miçra house became like Mahäräja Nanda's palace. Narahari says: Is anything like this festival of the Lord's birth? I cannot think of anything like it.

     1. Intent on performing a pious ritual, joyful at heart, and bringing various articles for the ceremony, the men and women of Nadéyä come to Nimäi's anna-praçäna ceremony.
     2. They filled their eyes with the splendor of Çacé's son as, decorated with new ornaments, and a silk garment tied about His waist, He sits on fortunate Nélämbara's lap on the edge of a swing.
     3. His body defeats the gold lotus flowers. How can the weak glory of the moon be compared to His glorious face? How can it be compared to the splendor of the wonderful sweet smile that lights His face as He accepts the first drop of sweet-rice?
     4. At this festival who can remain peaceful? No one can place on his mouth words to describe the bliss he feels. Everyone praises Çacé and Jagannätha Miçra. Narahari's heart is flooded with bliss.

     3. Then, with a gesture indicating His desire, little Nimäi clambers from His father's lap and enters the courtyard.
     4. Crawling on all fours, He travels in the courtyard. On His graceful feet the gold anklets jingle.
     5. The crawling infant turns and looks. Jagannätha Miçra stands and watches the sweetness of His motions.
     6. Facing His father, the infant says, "Mama!" Pickign Him up and placing Him on His lap, the father brushes the dust from His body.
     7. Then he places the child in His mother's hands. Gently gently laughing and laughing, the child stands in His mother's lap.
     8. The splendor of His teeth is like drops of milk. Who can be peaceful and indifferent when He smiles and luaghs?
     9. With her eyes drinking the sight of her son, the mother felt herself always floating in an ocean of bliss.
     10. In His mother's lap that child is splendid nad glorious. Narahari worships that child, a child who enchants the hearts of all the world.

     3. Hearing these words, He who is the moon of Nadéyä happily smiles and grasps His mother's finger.
     4. Slowly slowly she stands Him up. Taking two or four steps, He begins to walk.
     5. Letting go of her finger, He falls to the ground. Çacé places Him in her lap and kisses His face.
     6. Standing in her lap, He moves His feet. The anklets on His reddish feet jingle.
     7. First stroking with His finger, He drinks from her breast. I cannot speak any metaphors or similes to describe how glorious He is.
     8. From the four directions everyone gazes at Him. Narahari worships Him.

Song 12 (Bibhäsa-räga)

     1. At dawn a great bliss fills Çacé's house. Speaking for hundreds and hundreds of yugas with His thousand mouths, Lord Çeña cannot describe anything of it.
     2. How much bliss does child Gauracandra give to His associates? I know a trap has been set in Çacé's courtyard, a trap to enchant all the worlds.
     3. Leaving His bed, child Gauracandra runs and runs. Anyone who comes near is filled with bliss. They are all plunged in the ocean of Gauracandra's charming glory. They have no power to leave and return to their homes.
     4. At every moment wonderful love takes birth in their hearts. They offer their hearts and bodies to child Gauracandra's reddish feet. This Narahari says.

Song 13 (Bibhäsa-räga)

     1. Alas! Alas! Alas! Who does not weep because of child Gauräìgacandra's pastimes? Unable at night to see child Gauracandra, Nadéyä's people cannot maintain their lives.
     2. Lying on their beds to sleep, they cannot think of anything but child Gauräìgacandra. Their hearts are rapt in thinking of child Gauräìgacandra. At dawn they rise and say, "Gaura! Gaura!" They are overcome with the nectar of love for child Gaura.
     3. The men and women cannot think of any metaphors or similes to describe child Gaura. How many times did they try? No one could think of anything that would compare to child Gaura's beautiful glories.
     4. With their friends at their side, all the adults of Nadéyä worship the child that is Narahari's master. To child Gaura they speak sweet words filled with love.

Song 14 (Bibhäsa-räga)

     1. Please listen, O friend with the saintly heart, and in a secluded place I will tell you a great secret. The son of Vraja's king came to this place.
     2. No one is like HIm in Nadéyä-nägara. No one was unhappy when his glories were manifest. Without seeing Him, Çréväsa, Murari Gupta, and so many great devotees could not even stay alive.
     3. Lord Advaita, the great tapasvé from Çäntipura, stayed here in Nadéyä. With how many sweetnesses and glories is Nadéyä filled. Even with the greatest effort I could not describe them all.
     4. Alas! Alas! Alas! Will there ever again be a wonderful child like Gauracandra? Please place a necklace around child Gauracandra's neck, child Gauracandra who is Narahari's everything.

     1. Lord Advaita's wife Sétä Öhäkuräëé, who is flooded with the nectar of spiritual love, with unblinking eyers looks at child Gaura's handsome smiling face.
     2. Again and again rapt in meditation on His youthful glories, she cannot remain peaceful. A flood of tears flows from her eyes.
     3. How many words of love take birth in her heart? Her heart is overcome. Speaking to Çacé, she struugles to express her feelings.
     4. She offers every blessing. She speaks words of praise. The ocean of her happiness has no shore. Narahari says: Who has the power to understand all that is in her heart?

Song 17 (Bibhäsa-räga)

1. çrébäsa-banitä ati su-carita snehera mürati yena

2. praphullita tanu anupama ädha basana jhäpiyä mukhe

     1. In this world no saintly wife wife devoted to her husband is like Çréväsa's wife, who is always modest and saintly, and who is like spiritual love personified.
     2. Her peerless form blossoms with happiness. Her face is half covered by her garment. Standing next to Sétä, she gazes at the small boy who brings joy to her heart.
     3. Surrounded by His dear associates, child Gaura stands in the courtyard. The handsome moon of His face shines. His limbs glisten like gold. 
     4. He is decorated with garlands of newer and newer flowers. He floats in an ocean of splendor. Narahari däsa is attacked by a great calamity of wonderful love for Him.

Song 18 (Bibhäsa-räga)

6. e-i rüpa kata kahiyä turite karaya maìgala néta
narahari eka mukhe ki kahibe atula mäyera préta

     1. At sunrise the bliss in Çacé's heart has no end. As she gazes at her son's face, so many tears flow from her eyes she cannot see. 
     2. Grasping Sétä's feet, she earnestly speaks sweet words. She says, "I have all faith in you. You are good and saintly. I know nothing bad of you."
     3. Sétä says, "I know you well. May Nimäicandra always be pure. May He live long. May He always be happy. These benedictions I will give."
     4. Çacé says, "I will not ask any benedictions for myself. How many benedictions will I request? I ask that you give the benediction that the stars of my son's eyes will peacefully remain at home. I will destroy the great flood of His restlessness. 
     5. "Nimäi is my life and breath. Only my Viçvarüpa is like Him. Let Him not be separated from me for even a single sesame seed's worth of time. Please give that benediction to me." 
     6. How many words are spoken like this? Then the auspicious ritual is quickly performed. Narahari has only one mouth. How can he describe the peerless love mother Çacé feels for Lord Gaura?

Song 19 (Bibhäsa-räga)

     3. The adults, the men and women, are filled with love for Him. Gazing and gazing at His moonlike face, no one can remain peaceful.
     4. Without stop tears flow from their eyes. Their hearts are filled with bliss. Again and again they recount the pastimes of child Gauräìga, Gauräìga who is Narahari's very life and breath.

Song 20 (Bibhäsa-räga)

1. nadéyära ati          puëyabaté pati-

          kibä sirajila e hena lehä

     1. Where do the thoughts of Nadéyä's saintly ladies run? Not to their own children. At every moment the ladies talk of Çacé's son.

     1. Some people think child Nimäi is never restless or reckless. Ah, please hear this story of what He did one day. Grasping the edge of His mother's garment, He walked in the courtyard. Then He saw His own shadow.
     2. Letting go of the edge of His mother's garment, He played with His shadow. Then He came upon a snake. Then He reclined on that fearsome snake's coils. What happiness did He find in that? I do not know.
     3. Screaming, "Haya! Haya!", everyone ran there. The snake tried to flee, but child Nimäi grabbed Him. Everyone sobbed. Çacé was wild. With a great struggle she pulled Nimäi into her arms.
     4. Another time child Nimäi motioned to a great bird flying in the sky. "That bird wants to carry Me away!", Nimäi said again and again. Clinging to His mother's neck, He sobbed.
     5. The tears from His eyes made His black kajjala run like two strings of sapphires or like spots on the moon of His face. What did He see with His eyes?
     6. Here someone may say: "I am not fooled by these words. Still, when I hear them my life's breath begins to break and I fall into weeping. Lord Nimäi, the child who is Narahari's very life and breath, may perhaps be bewildered as He enjoys these pastimes, but His devotees are not. Without wavering, their hearts know the true identity of the child Nimäi.

     1. He who is the moon of Nadiya and the crown of rasikas is resplendant in His glorious wedding-garments. 
     2. His graceful limbs are anointed with sandal-paste. Sandal-paste tilaka adorns the half-moon of His forehead.
     3. He wears a crown of many different flowers. Who is not enchanted by seeing Him?
     4. Black kajjala decorates His eyes.

     3. Someone anoints Lord Gaura's limbs with fragrant sandal-paste. Somone offers Him a jasmine garland. The devotees are overcome with ecstatic love, their hearts pierced by flower-arrows of love for Lord Gaura.
     4. Some say that Lord Gaura is Jänaké's beloved Räma, that He is Rädhä's beloved Kåñëa, handsome like Kämadeva. In Nayanänanda's heart this thought arises: Lord Gaura is the life's breath of my Gadädhara. I do not know anything more than this.

     1. Why did the Supreme Lord leave Goloka? Why did He change His dark form into a form with a fair complexion?
     2. Why, leaving behind His pastimes of joking and laughter, does the Lord now weep? I do not know. Why and for whom did Lord Gaura set His trap of ecstatic spiritual love? 
     3. One moment He calls out "Kåñëa! Kåñëa!" and weeps. The next moment He calls out, "Sakhé! Sakhé!"
     4. One moment He calls out, "Mathurä! Mathurä!" Another moment He calls out, "Akrüra!" He is distraught.
     5. Moment after moment He calls out, "Wretched moon! Wretched sandal paste!" He rolls in the dust. Surrounded by His companions, He weeps.
     6. "Although they have been burned into ashes, the saintly gopés do not give up their lives!", He says. Filled with distress, He rolls on the ground.
     7. Gadädhara weeps. He hugs the master of his life. Rämänanda Räya weeps. He is tossed to and fro by ecstatic spiritual love.
     8. Svarüpa Dämodara and Rüpa Gosvämé also weep. Remembering these pastimes, but not understanding anything of them, Nayanänanda däsa also weeps.

Song 3 (Dhänaçé-räga)

1. gorä mora guëera sägara
premera taranìa täya uöhe nirantara
2. gorä mora akalaìka çaçé

     4. My Lord Gaura is a kalpa-taru tree of ecstatic spiritual love, a tree whose shade gives a blissful residence to the spirit souls.

7. nayanänanda kahe sukha säre
se-i båndäbana bhela nadéyä-nägare

     1. Is this not a lake of spiritual bliss, a lake where waves of ecstatic love rise and fall?
     2. Lord Viçvambhara dances. Overcome with love, the earth cannot remain peaceful with the touch of His feet.
     3. Lord Viçvambhara is like a golden moon. How many streams of nectar does He shower? He cannot remain peaceful. 
     4. Some of His dear associates are swans. Some are bumblebees. Some are cakora birds.
     5. Overcome with ecstatic spiritual love, the people of Nadéyä dance. There are newer and newer waves after waves of dancing.
     6. Now even the poor and fallen people easily gather newer and newer jewels of devotional service.
     7. Nayanänanda says: The supremely blissful spiritual land of Våndävana is now present in the towns of Nadéyä.

Song 5 (Bälä-räga or Dhänaçé-räga)

1. ä-ota piréti          mürati-maya sägara

          sabäkära pürä-ila äça

     1. A wonderful Lord who is an ocean of spiritual love personified and who is the king of the brähmaëas has come. His devotee companions are filled with newer and newer glory. The spireitual nectar of love He tastes is always newer and newer. His form is like a treasury of newer and newer precious jewels.
     2. (Refrain) Glory, glory to the Lord who enjoys pastimes in Nadéyä! He brings with Him the glory of Våndävana and all the Vaikuëöha worlds. He brings with Him the best of all kinds of happiness.
     3. Glory, glory, great glory to Him! Now a flooding celestial nectar Gaìgä of spiritual love blissfuly flows. How many times does He drink from that nectar river, bathe in it, and plunge into it? How many times does He embrace His companions?
     4. In every house, in every flower-filled garden, and under every tree He enjoys pastimes. Nayanänanda says: Giving away the gift of ecstatic spiritual love, Lord Viçvambhara fulfills every person's desires.

Song 6 (Suha-i-räga)

1. kali-ghora-timire          garäsala jaga-jana
          dharama karama rahu düra

nayanänanda bhaëe        se-i se sakala jäne
          sarba-siddhi kara-tale tära

     1. The horrible darkness of Kali-yuga swallowed the people of the world. Religion and pious deeds fled far away. Into that situation very merciful Lord Gaura brought a cintämaëi jewel.
     2. (Refrain) My brothers! O, my brothers! No one has the power to describe all of Lord Gaura's glories. How many Ganeças and how many Brahmäs may try to describe Him? They have no power to describe all of His glories?
     3. Of what use is a person's learning if he studies the four Vedas and the six systems of philosophy, but does not worship Lord Gauräìga? He is like a person without eyes. He is like a blind man trying to see himself in a mirror. Of what use is all his studying?
     4. A person who does not know that Lord Gauräìga is the Supreme does not know anything of Vedas or philosophy. Nayanänanda says: A person who knows that Lord Gauräìga is the Supreme knows everything. All mystic powers rest in the palm of his hand.

Song 7 (Dhänaçré-räga)

1. mukha-khäni purëimära çaçé kibä mantra jape
bimba biòambita adhara sadä-i kena kämpe
2. (Refrain) gorä näce naöana raìgiyä

3. cända kandaye mukha chända dekhiyä

4. käïcä käïcana jini naba rasera gorä
buka bähi paòe prema paraçera dhärä
5. kahaye nayanänanda manera ulläse
punaù ki dekhiba gorä gadädhara paçe

     1. The full-moon of His mouth chants japa of the mahä-mantra. Why do His lips, lips that mock the bimba fruits, always tremble?
     2. (Refrain) Lord Gaura gracefully dances. He places a gift of ecstatic spiritual love in every living entity's heart.
     3. Seeing the moon of Lord Gaura's face weep, every person's eyes have become like monsoon clouds shedding showers of tears.
     4. Sweet with new nectar, Lord Gaura defeats new gold. A flood of tears of ecstatic love streams down His chest.
     5. Nayanänanda says: With a joyful heart will I again see Lord Gaura at Gadädhara's side?

     2. Glory to Çré Rädhä! Glory to Lord Kåñëa! Glory to Lord Govinda! Glory to the Yamunä! Glory to Våndävana! Glory to Lord Caitanya and Lord Nityänanda! Glory to Rüpa Gosvämé and Sanätana Gosvämé!
     3. Rüpa Gosvämé and Sanätana Gosvämé are eternally my very life and soul. O Rüpa Gosvämé and Sanätana Gosvämé, please be merciful and give to me service ot the divine couple's feet.
     4. O my heart, please chant, "Rädhe! Kåñëa!" Please chant, "Rädhe! Kåñëa!" Please chant, "Våndävana! Vaàçéväöa on the Yamunä's banks!"
     5. O my heart, please chant, "Rädhe! Kåñëa!" Please chant, "Rädhe! Kåñëa!" Please reside in Vrajabhümi near the Yamunä.
     6. Please chant, "Rädhe! Kåñëa! Rädhe! Kåñëa! Rädhe! Kåñëa!" In Navadvépa Lord Gauracandra established His marketplace!
     7. Please chant, "Rädhe! Kåñëa! Rädhe! Kåñëa! Rädhe! Kåñëa!" Please be eager to chant the holy names of Çacé's son, Lord Gaura!
     8. Please chant, "Rädhe! Kåñëa! Rädhe! Kåñëa! Rädhe! Govinda!" Paramänanda bows down before Çré Rädhä-ramaëa.

Song 2 (Kämoda-räga)

1. gorä abatäre yära na haila bhakti-rasa
     ära tära na dekhi upäya

          paramänandera parihära

     1. Now that Lord Gaura has descended to this world, anyone who does not relish the sweet nectar of bhakti is like a person whose eyes cannot see even when the sun is shining bright. I do not see any way to help such a person. Destiny has cheated him.
     2. (Refrain) Please worship Lord Gauracandra's feet. O my brothers, in all the three worlds no one is merciful like Lord Gaura. He is the great purifier of the fallen souls.
     3. He is like a monsoon cloud made of gold. He is a great lake of ecstatic spiritual love. He is an ocean of mercy descended to this world. What kind of heart will not find cooling bliss when it meets Lord Gaura? How can I understand such a heart?
     4. The mantra of Lord Kåñëa's holy names has come to carry everyone across the ocean of birth and death. Lord Gauräìga personally carries everyone to the farther shore of that ocean. The souls now drowning in that ocean will all be lifted up and rescued. Only Paramänanda is still left behind.

Song 3 (Suha-i-räga)

1. (Refrain) gorä dayära abadhi guëa-nidhi

2. bhuja-yuga äropiyä bhakatera kändhe

3. preme chala chala          nayana-yugala

5. bhubana bhariyä preme utarola patita-päbana näma
çuniyä bharasä paramänandera manete nä laya äna

     1. (Refrain) Lord Gaura is a treasure-house of virtues. His mercy is the highest limit of all mercy. In the towns of Nadéyä and on the Gaìgä's banks Lord Gauräìga enjoys pastimes without stop.
     2. He tries to walk. He has no power to do it. Resting both His arms on two devotees' shoulders, Lord Gauracandra weeps, “Hari! Hari!"
     3. How many flooding rivers of tears of ecstatic love flow from His eyes? The hairs of His body stand erect. The earth has no power to support His fair form.
     4. Surrounded by His associates, He turns and dances. “Hari! Haribol!", He calls. His arms clinging to the shoulders of two dear friends, He staggers as He walks. 
     5. He makes the whole world agitated with ecstatic spiritual love. That is why He bears the name Patita-pävana (the purifier of the fallen). Hearing His glories, Paramänanda has faith in Him alone. No other kind of faith rests in Paramänanda's heart.

Song 4 (Bibhäsa-räga)

1. paraça-maëira saìge       ki diba tulanä

paramänandera mane       e baòa äkuti re
          gauräìgera daya kabe habe

     1. How shall I say Lord Gauräìga is like a touchstone? By its touch a touchstone turns objects into mere gold. But by His touch My glorious Lord Gauräìga creates how many priceless jewels, jewels that even sing and dance?
     2. (Refrain) Çacé's son is Lord Kåñëa Himself, Lord Kåñëa who wears a forest garland. Nothing in the three worlds is equal to Him. My Lord Gaura is the Deity I worship with my every breath.
     3. The moon of Lord Gauräìga is supremely glorious. The ordinary moon of this world is marked with spots. No moon of this world is equal to Lord Gauräìga. When the spotless moon of Lord Gauräìga rises in Nadéyä, blinding darkness flees from every heart.
     4. Neither the surabhi cow nor the kalpa-taru tree are equal to Lord Gauräìga. Before obtaining a boon from them one must first place a request. Even without receiving any request, Lord Gauräìga gives His gifts to all the worlds. Indeed, it is He who begs everyone please to accept His gift of ecstatic spiritual love.
     5. Only Lord Gauräìga Himself is equal to Lord Gauräìga. Reflect on this and you will see that it is true. In Paramänanda's heart this prayer resides: When will Lord Gauräìga give His mercy to me?

5. saìge sahacara ati su-catura gä-ota püraba lélä

     1. His hair and garments are in disarray. His smiles and laughter are nectar. Waves of tears flow from His eyes. He is overcome with ecstatic spiritual love. He is the glory of Nadéyä.
     2. (Refrain) Lord Gaurasundara dances. The Lord begs the people to accept His gift, the gift of ecstatic spiritual love, a gift hidden even from the Vedas.
     3. His complexion is fair. Still, He is reddened with ecstatic spiritual love. No one is glorious like Him. Gracefully and slowly he walks. He charms every heart. Gazing at Him, the hearts of all the world yearn to attain His company.
     4. He trembles. He perspires. He speaks broken words in a choked voice. How many symptoms of ecstasy does He manifest? His limbs are graceful. His form is waves of graceful glory. Who is His equal? 
     5. His companions gracefully sing songs describing His previous pastimes as Kåñëa. Prasäda däsa says: Hearing His glories, even the dry sticks and hard rocks melt in ecstasy.

Prema däsa

Song 1 (Dhänaçé-räga)

1. bhägyabän çacé jagannätha

     1. Fortunate Jagannätha Miçra and Çacé-dev.i attained Lord Jagannätha Himself as their son.
     2. As Rähu swallowed the moon in the month of Phälguna, an infant moon shone with great splendor in Çacé's arms.
     3. How much wealth, wealth of yoga and worship, did Jagannätha Miçra then give in charity to the poor?
     4. Although there were no lamps, the maternity-room was filled with light. At that moment Navadvépa was filled with great bliss.
     5. Demigods and humans assembled at that place. The Gandharvas an Kinnaras sang and danced.
     6. The Supreme Personality of Godhead had personally come to remove the earth's burden. Now everyone was filled with peerless bliss.
     7. Turning away from worldly things, everyone is now filled with love for Lord Gaura. Prema däsa now floats in bliss.

Song 2 (Suha-i-räga)

     1. On the full-moon night of Phälguna month, the moon of Lord Gaura arose in the sky of Çacé's lap. Around that moon in the four directions the stars of the devotees shone.
     2. When that moon rose the horrible all-pervading darkness of sin was chased far away. Seeing that moon, the lotus flowers of the people's good fortune smiled with ecstatic love. Their hearts became wild with bliss.
     3. The cakora birds of the devotees, long distraught over the moonless night of sins, now let out a blissful clamor. Drinking the nectar moonlight, those birds felt their hunger flee far away. Everyone became filled with cooling bliss.
     4. Drinking that nectar moonlight of spiritual love, the living entities became filled with bliss. Because of his past misdeeds, Prema däsa did not drink even a single ray of that nectar moonlight. That is why he now rolls about in the dust.

     1. Without Çacé's son, whose ears would have heard the great wonder of the holy names chanted with ecstatic love? Who would have known the glories of Lord Kåñëa's holy names? Who would have entered into the great sweetness present in Våndävana? Who would have understood the wonder of Çré Rädhä's fame, nectar, and sweetness? Who would have understood the bhava, anubhava, and sattvika-bhava ecstasies? Who would have understood the pastimes in Vraja, the räsa and mahä-räsa pastimes, the nature of prema, parakéya-rasa, the glories of the gopés, and the highest limit of the vyabhicäri-bhävas?
     2. The Kali-yuga is fortunate and glorious, for Lord Caitanya and Lord Nityänanda mercifully revealed in the Kali-yuga the great ecstasy of pure spiritual love, an ecstasy of love even the demigod Brahmä finds beyond His reach.
     3. Without considering who was exalted and who degraded, Lord Caitanya and Lord Nityänanda begged everyone to accept this gift of ecstatic spiritual love. They embraced everyone. Premänanda says: In your hearts please embrace Lord Gauräìga.

     1. (Refrain) No one is like Lord Gauräìga! Will there ever be an avatära like Him, an avatära that preached ecstatic spiritual love as He did?
     2. He did not kill the fallen wicked-hearted blasphemers. Instead he went from house to house visiting them. He begged them to chant Lord Kåñëa's holy names. He gave them the holy names and purified their hearts.
     3. To the world He freely gave the rare gift of ecstatic spiritual love, a gift even Brahmä and Çiva attain only with difficulty. Attaining that gift, the poor people of this world dance and clap their hands.
     4. They laugh and weep. Overcome with ecstatic spiritual love, they roll on the ground. The hairs of the bodies stand erect. The brähmaëas and caëòälas hugged. There was great bliss.
     5. Loudly they called out the holy names. They played the khola and karatälas. They sang, ran, and danced in a circle. Seeing all this, peaceful composure became afraid, fled, and knocked on people's doors.
     6. An auspicious tumult arose. The three worlds were filled with bliss. Premänanda says: Alas! Love for Lord Gauräìga did not take birth in me.

Rädhä-mohana

Song 1 (Suha-i-räga)

1. jaya jaya çré-kåñëa-caitanya dayä-sindhu
patita uddhära hetu jaya déna-bandhu
2. jaya prema-bhakti-dätä dayä kara more

6. biçeña pratijëä çuni e-i kali-yuge

     1. Glory, glory to Çré Kåñëa Caitanya, who is an ocean of mercy! Glory to the friend of the poor! Glory to the savior of the fallen!
     2. Glory to the Lord who gives the gift of prema-bhakti! O Lord, please be merciful to me. Placing a straw between his teeth, this insignificant servant calls out to You.
     3. In ancient times You personally delivered many sinners. This is not surprising, for that is why You descend to this material world.
     4. Now please deliver the sinners like me. All the worlds praise Your wonderful mercy.
     5. If You think I am not worthy to recieve Your mercy, then please make me worthy.
     6. Hearing of Your promise of mercy in the Kali-yuga, the sinner Rädhämohana begs to take shelter of You.

Song 2 (Suha-i-räga)

1. jaya jaya çré-kåñëa-caitanya näma-sära
aparüpa kalapa birikha abatära
2. ayäcite bitara-i durlabha prema-phala

3. cintämaëi nahe se-i phalera samäna

4. hena prabhu na sebile kona käja naya
e rädhämohana mäge caraëe äçraya

     1. Glory, glory to Çré Kåñëa Caitanya, whose holy name is the most glorious! Once in a day of Brahmä He descends to this world.
     2. The people do not ask for it, but still He gives them the rare gift of spiritual love. He does not deprive anyone, even the most fallen and insignificant.
     3. Even the cintämaëi jewel does not give a result as glorious as the result that comes from His gift. He gives that gift to everyone, even down to the caëòälas.
     4. This Rädhämohana, who has never served the Lord and has never done any work for Him, now begs to take shelter at His feet.

Song 3 (Bibhäsa-räga)

1. vande viçvambhara-pada-kamalam

4. satata-viräjitaà nirupama-çobham
rädhämohana-kalita-vilobham

     1. I bow down before the lotus flower of Lord Viçvambhara's feet, a flower that breaks the sins of Kali-yuga into pieces, . . .
     2. . . . a flower with a sweet fragrance that attracts the bumblebees of the devotees, a flower that mercifully breaks the sufferings of separation from the Lord into pieces, . . .
     3. . . . a flower that with its own effulgence at once destroys the darkness of illusion in the hearts of this world, . . 
     4. . . . a flower that is eternally glorious, a flower with peerless beauty, a flower that Rädhämohana yearns to attain.

Song 4 (Bhairabé-räga)

1. paçya çacé-sutam anupa-rüpam

kamalä-kara-kamaläïchita-padam
4. rohita-vadana-tirohita-bhäñaà
rädhä-mohana-kåta-caraëäçam

     1. Look at Çacé's son, whose handsomeness has no peer, handsomeness that breaks into pieces the well of peerless nectar.
     2. His heart burns with passionate love for Lord Kåñëa. He enjoys pastimes with King Pratäparudra.
     3. He is overcome with feelings of separation from the Supreme Personality of Godhead. With lotus hands the goddess of fortune worships His lotus feet.
     4. Overcome with ecstatic spiritual love, He is speechless. Rädhä-mohana yearns to attain His feet.

Rämakänta däsa

Song 1 (Dhänaçré-räga)

1. kanaka dharädhara mada-hara deha
madana paräbhaba subaraëa geha
2. (Refrain) hera dekha aparüpa gaura-kiçora
kaichana bhäba nahata kichu ora
3. ghana pulakäbalé diöhi jaladhära

4. nirupama nirajana räsa-biläsa

iha bali sa-ghane päte nija-käëa
6. swajana tyäji taba calata ekänta
milaba aba jäni kiye rämakänta

     1. His form is like a charming golden mountain. His golden complexion defeats Kämadeva.
     2. (Refrain) Look! Look at wonderful Lord Gaura-kiçora! The ecstatic spiritual love He feels has no limit.
     3. The ahirs of His body stand erect. His eyes are two monsoon clouds. Seeing His chest, everyone is filled with wonder.
     4. In a secluded place He hears of Lord Kåñëa's peerless räsa-dance pastime. Overcome, He speaks broken words with a choked voice.
     5. Saying, "Did I just hear sweet flute music?", He carefully listens with his ears.
     6. Then leaving His companions, He goes to a secluded place. Someday will Rämakänta däsa meet Him and attain His association?

Rämänanda

Song 1 (Dhanaçé-räga or Kämoda-räga)

1. kértana rasamaya      ägama agocara
          kebala änanda-kanda
akhila loka-gati         bhakata-präëa-pati
          jaya gaura nityänanda canda
2. heri patita gana      karunabalokana

3. hari-saìkértane       majila jaga-jana

4. tri-bhubana maìgala        näma-prema-bale
          düra gela kali ändhiyära
çamana-bhabana-patha          sabe eka rodhala
          baïcita rämänanda duräcära

     1. Glory to the two moons who are Lord Gaura and Lord Nityänanda, two moons who taste the sweet nectar of chanting the holy names, who are beyond the touch of the Vedas, who are the roots of transcendental bliss, who are the goals of all living beings, and who are the masters of the devotees' lives!
     2. Glory to glorious Çré Caitanya, who descended to this world, who glances with merciful eyes at the fallen souls, who fills the world with a limitless flood of mercy, who breaks the fear of repeated birth and death, and who destroys sins! 
     3. Into the nectar of chanting the holy names He plunged the demigods, humans, nägas, beasts, birds, and all other creatures in the world. He gave the nectar flood of ecstatic spiritual love, a flood that is the best thing in all the Vedas, to everyone. He did not neglect anyone.
     4. Then the three worlds became auspicious. Then the power of love for the holy name chased Kali-yuga's darkness far away. Then everyone walked on the glorious and peaceful spiritual path. Only misbehaved Rämänanda did not walk on that path. Only he was cheated.

Song 2 (Baräòé-räga)

1. (Refrain) dekha dekha jéba gauräìga cändera lélä
läkhe läkhe gopé nimikhe bhulä-iyä       ki lägi sannyäsé haila
2. péta-basana chäòi          òorä-kaupina pari

3. räma abatäre          dhanuka dhariyä

4. dhari naba-daëòa      la-iyä karaìga
          sindhu-tére kaila thänä
rämänanda kaya      sannyäséra beça naya
          päñaëòa-dalana bérabänä

     1. (Refrain) O spirit-souls, look! Look at Lord Gauräìgacandra's pastimes! Why, in the blinking of an eye forgetting millions and millions of gopés, has He now become a sannyäsé?
     2. Rejecting His yellow garments, now He wears a sannyasi's garments. Now He carries a daëòa. Turning away from His blissful pastimes on the Yamunä's banks, now He stays by the seaside.
     3. When He descended as Rämacandra to this world, He carried a bow. When He stayed in Gokula He filled the flute with melodies. Now, out of compassion for the fallen souls, He carries a daëòa. Now He is a sannyäsé.
     4. Carrying a waterpot and a new daëòa, He stays by the seaside. Rämänanda says: If He had not accepted a sannyäsé's garments He would have been a heroic warrior, a warrior who ripped the blasphemers into shreds.

Song 3 (Gändhära-räga)

1. dekha dekha adabhuta       sundara çacé-suta

     1. Look! Look at Çacé's wonderfully handsome son! What a wonder has destiny created in Him! His form is more glorious than gold. His mouth is filled with the words, “Hari! Hari!"
     2. His forehead is splendidly decorated with drops of sandal-paste. His curly hair falls in waves. He is splendid like a moon or a golden lotus, a golden lotus surrounded by the restless black bees of His hair.
     3. His two eyes rebuke the red lotus petals. His eyes defeat the khaëjana and cakora birds. His tears teach the strings of pearls how to shine with glory.
     4. He plunges the people of the world into the nectar ocean of songs chanting His holy names and describing His transcendental glories. Poor fallen Rämänanda is cheated of that ocean of nectar. He cannot touch even a drop of it.

Song 4 (Tuòé-räga)

1. dekhata bekata        gaura adabhuta

     1. Look at Lord Gaura, wonderful and glorious on the Gaìgä's bank. His form is like gold. His garments defeat the sun. He is handsome and saintly and wise.
     2. Remembering and remembering Lord Kåñëa's Vraja pastimes and glories, He cannot remain peaceful. Like kadamba filaments, the hairs of His body stand erect. A river of tears flows from His eyes.
     3. Without stop tasting the nectar of the devotees' songs, He has become wild with bliss. His conchshell neck sways to and fro. Hearing these songs, He begins to dance. The hairs of His body stand erect. He calls out, "Haribol!" 
     4. O master of the demigods! O dear master of the devotees! O purifier of the fallen! O Lord who descended to this world! Please take Rämänanda to the farther shore of this ocean of birth and death, Rämänanda who is terrified of the black snake of Kali-yuga.

Çaìkara Ghoña

Song 1 (Beloyära-räga)

1. dekha re dekha re sundara çacé-nandanä

2. maya-matta häté bhäti calanä

nabadwépa mäjhe gorä hari hari bolanä
5. abhaya-caraëäravinde makaranda lolanä
kahaye çaìkara ghoña akhila-loka-taraëä

     1. Look! O, look at Çacé's graceful son! His graceful arms reach to His knees.
     2. His steps are like the graceful steps of an intoxicated elephant. A garland of mälaté flowers sways to and fro on His fair body.
     3. His handsome face defeats the autumn moon. A flood of blissful spiritual love flows as tears from His eyes.
     4. At every moment He enjoys pastimes with His associates. “Hari! Hari!", He chants in the town of Navadvépa.
     5. His fearless lotus feet are the abode of the sweetest nectar. Çaìkara Ghoña says: He delivers all the worlds.

Saìkarñaëa däsa

Song 1 (Bibhäsa-räga)

1. çré kåñëa caitanya jaya patita-päbana
prakäçila kali-käle näma-saìkértana
2. jaya nityänanda jaya adhama-täraëa
dayä bitarile dekhi déna-héna jana
3. jaya advaitacandra bhaktera jébana
änilena gauracandra kari äkarñaëa
4. jaya jaya bhakta-bånda päriñada-gaëa
adhame tärile ebe tära saìkarñaëa

     1. Glory to Çré Kåñëa Caitanya, the purifier of the fallen! In the age of Kali He revealed the näma-saìkértana movement of chanting Lord Kåñëa's holy names.
     2. Glory to Lord Nityänanda, the savior of the fallen. Seeing the poor fallen people, He was merciful to them.
     3. Glory to Lord Advaitacandra, the life of the devotees! He brought Lord Caitanya to this world.
     4. Glory, glory to the devotees, the personal associates of the Lord. They delivered the fallen souls. Now I pray they will deliver Saìkarñaëa däsa.

Song 2 (Bibhäsa-räga or Lophä-räga)

1. gauräìga dayära nidhi guëa agaëana
tulanä dibära nähi anya sthäna
2. kalpa-taru abhiläña karaye püraëa

samaya bicära ten3ha nä kare kathana
5. yäciïä amülya dhana kare bitaraëa
ekala baïcita kebala däsa saìkarñaëa

     1. Lord Gauräìga is a treasure-house of mercy. His virtues are beyond counting. Nothing is like Him.
     2. A kalpa-taru tree fulfills desires only after one approaches it with a request.
     3. The ocean may splash a single drop and then retreat. The moon showers bright moonlight only at some times of the month.
     4. Lord Gauräìga does not consider who is worthy and who is not worthy to receive the jewels He gives away. He does not consider what is an appropriate time and what is not.
     5. Begging everyone please to accept it, He always gives away a precious treasure. He has given it to everyone. Only to Saìkarñaëa däsa was it not given. Only he was cheated.

Song 3 (Bibhäsa-räga or Te-oöa-räga))

1. phälguna-pürëimä çaçé      rähu candrere paraçi

gauräìga nahila rati          saìkarñaëa manda-mati
          dayä kara çacéra kumära

     1. During the Phälguna-pürëimä seeing Rähu touch the moon, everyone called out, “Haribol!¢ Soem played mådaìgas. Others played flutes or gongs. There was a great tumult of bells and conchshells.
     2. Watching for the auspicious dya and moment, the Supreme Personality of Godhead took birth in Çacé's house. Disguising their true identities, the demigods came to see. Not yet seeing, they had heard the tumult.
     3. Hearing the tumult, the joyful men and woemn of Nadiya hurried to see. Standing before the child, their hearts were filled with longings. Bliss entered their thoughts. Their eyes were filled with the sight of the infant boy.
     4. Seeing the boy, the devotees were filled with bliss. In their hearts they knew that now they would be delivered. Only wicked-hearted Saìkarñaëa däsa has no love for Lord Gauräìga. O son of Çacé, please be merciful to him anyway.

          dukhiyä çekhara tära däsa

     1. Sanaka-kumära and the sages gaze at Him and speak many prayers. Brahmä and the demigods meditate on Him but cannot attain Him. Çiva, garbed only by the four directions, wanders about, his five mouths singing His glories.
     2. The water that has washed His feet, water that purifies the three worlds, rests as the ornament on Çiva's matted locks. Surrounded by His associates, He, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, descended to this world in Nadéyä-pura, in Çacé's house.
     3. Please gaze at Çacé's son. To the dull and lifeless fallen souls He revealed näma-sa/nkértana, the chanting of the holy names. The yavanas, hedonists, fallen, and unlettered He made wild with the ecstasy of spiritual love.
     4. He made the earth glorious. He flooded it with the waters of ecstatic spiritual love, waters that passed beyond the boundaries of the three worlds. Terrified, the blasphemers and false philosophers fled. Clambering onto the boat of false pride, they escaped.
     5. My pastime is bathing in the dust of the devotees' feet, devotees who yearn for the honey at Lord Caitanya's and Lord Nityänanda's feet. Sad Çekhara däsa is the servant of those great devotees.

Song 2 (Dhänaçé-räga)

5. thäkuka òubibära käja paraça nä pä-iyä

     1. From Lord Gaurä/nga flows a great river of nectar. The waves of that river are waves of ecstatic spiritual love. That flooding river never stops flowing.
     2. Abhiräma Öhäkura and Sära/nga Öhäkura are that river's two banks. Acyutänanda is its whirlpool of ecstatic love.
     3. Çré Advaitacandra is that river's current. Lord Nityänanda is both the diver that swims in that river and the captain of the boat that plies its waters.
     4. Çréväsa Thakura and his associates are the fish that swim in those waters of spiritual love. Svarüpa Gosvämé and Rüpa Gosvämé are the sunlight of ecstatic love glistening on that river.
     5. Alas, unable to swim in that river, sad Çekhara däsa stays on the bank and loudly weeps.

Song 3 (Tuòé-räga)

1. jagannätha miçrera sukåti béja haite

     1. In Nadéyä, from the seed of Jagannätha Miçra's past pious deeds was born the kalpa-taru tree of Lord Gaura.
     2. The gardener Nitäi came and carefully tended that tree. From that tree many branches and sub-branches grew.
     3. That tree bore many wonderful fruits, fruits filled with wildly delightful nectar.
     4. The gardener Nitäi happily picked those fruits. Wikth both hands He offered those fruits to the poor unhappy souls.
     5. The nectar of those fruits was like the sweet nectar found in the celestial moon. Anyone who sucked the juice of one of those fruits found that his hunger had fled far away.
     6. Then the gardener Nitäi personally ate one of those fruits. Wild with bliss, He danced. Then He placed those fruits in a basket and balanced the basket on His head.
     7. Saying, "Take! Take! Please take!", He distributed those fruits to everyone. Only Çekhara Räya did not take any of those fruits. Only he was cheated.

     9. There are merchants selling goods from stalls, and there are devotee dancers dancing. Paying the price of humbleness, the customers buy the goods of ecstatic spiritual love. The buying and selling continues without stop.
     10. Gopäla Öhäkura is the marketplace-watchman. Gopénätha is the collector of payments. Çré Raghunandana is the worker for marketplace-maintenance. He keeps the marketplace beautiful.
     11. Day or night make no difference. This marketplace is always open. Here the customers always came and purchase the wares of ecstatic spiritual love. Çacé's dear son personally spreads out the wares of ecstatic spiritual love.
     12. In this marketplace all troubles are broken into pieces. Even the poor beggars are joyful. Eating, they fill their bellies. Gazing at this marketplace, Yämaräja becomes rapt in thought. Humbly he lowers his head.
     13. In this marketpladce there is no old-age and no death. In this marketplace spiritual bliss is alsways manifest. Here there is neither grief nor fear. In this marketplace the beggar Çekhara Räya bows, begs some food, and eats.

     1. Graceful Lord Gaura dances in the city. Gazing at His form, Kämadeva is overcome with wonder. His limbs glisten like lightning. He is the best of dancers, His form splendid and graceful. His splendid eyebrows are like Kämadeva's bow. His ears are filled with playful grace. On His neck rests a glistening jewel locket. His form enchants the hearts of all the worlds.
     2. His hair is decorated with flowers. Around Him on four sides the black bees hum. As His body sways to and fro, the earrings on His ears move. His garments are splendid like buffalo-yogurt. Thoughts of Lord Kåñëa's räsa-dance pastime awaken in His heart. Standing erect, the hairs of His body defeat the kadamba filaments. At every moment His heart is overcome with ecstasy.
     3. His garceful motions defeat the king of elephants. Day and night He showers a monsoon of ecstatic spiritual love. Glancing at Gadädhara, He weeps. Then He laughs. Then He speaks brojken words in a choked voice. His eyes are reddish. His feet are like lotus flowers. His toenails are like jewels. His anklets jangle. Hearing the tumult of his kértana and watching Him dance, the sages yearn in their heart to attain His company.
     4. The four sides of His face glistening with perspiration, He is like a golden lotus decorated with strings of pearls. How many streams of nectar flows from His sweet words? He is mahä-bhäva ecstatic love personified. He is the king of rasikas. In the midst of a host of devotees He shines with great splendor. He is pure spiritual love personified. Çekhara Räya thus describes His pastimes.

     1. Peerless peerless is Lord Gaurä/nga's form. Peerless is His glorious splendor. Peerless peerless is Lord Gaurä/nga. Peerless peerless is the moon of His face. Peerless is the splendor of His smile. 
     2. Peerless is the sacred-thread that sways to and fro on His peerless neck. Peerless is the Himalaya mountain of His chest, a mountain where silver-clear mountain-brooks flow. 
     3. Peerless is His nose splendid like a peerless peerless parrot-beak. Peerless are the restless glances He casts from the peerless peerless sapharé fish that are His eyes.

     1. He who was formerly Rädhä's companion and the gopés' master, has now become a joyful poor mendicant. He who formerly played a flute in His hand now holds a da/nòa and kama/nòalu. At His waist a kaupéna is tied.
     2. He who formerly filled the flute at His lips, stole the gopés' hearts, enjoyed many blissful pastimes, and fired many arrows of sidelong glances at the gopés' hearts, now sheds flooding rivers of tears from His eyes.
     3. He who fromerly, dressed like a dancing-actor, walked from forest to forest by the Yamunä as He herded the cows, is now overcome with ecstasy. Enjoying pastimes of sa/nkértana, He knows nothing but ecstasy.
     4. In the ecstasy of meeting He is filled with bliss. In the agony of separation His sufferings are doubled. Then He burns in flames of suffering. His chanting of the holy names fills with bliss even Çivänanda's heart, a heart built of stone.

          prabhu more deha pada-cchäyä

     1. The raincloud of Lord Caitanya now floods the worlds with a nectar monsoon of Lord Kåñëa's holy names. Without stop drinking and drinking the nectar of this monsoon, the catäka birds that are the devotees pray moment after moment to attain the nectar waters of ecstatic spiritual love.
     2. On the full-moon day of the month off Phälguna the Lord Caitanya monsoon cloud took birth. At once that cloud began a great monsoon. Every living being, high and low, was plunged into that monsoon's flooding waters of ecstatic spiritual love. In this way Lord Gaura flooded the world with a great ocean of mercy. 
     3. Affectionately folding His hands, to the fallen souls He gave the mahä-mantra of Lord Kåñëa's names. In this way Lord Gaurä/nga transformed the suffering fallen people into exalted devotees.

Uddshava däsa

Song 1 (Dhanaçé-räga)

1. caitanya kalpa-taru        advaita ye çäkhä-guru

3. nityänanda näma phala          prema-rase òhala òhala

          uddhaba däsa tära kéöa

     1. In the kalpa-taru tree of Lord Caitanya, Lord Advaita is the great branches. The chanting of the holy name is the blossoming flowers. The bumblebees are the devotees, bees that, always eager to taste the flowers' nectar, chant "Hari!" and fly about on the tree's four sides.
     2. Gadädhara is that tree's great leaves. That tree is like a parasol that gives the cooling shade of fearlessness. The happiness in that shade is more glorious than the happiness in the world of Goloka. Deprived of ecstatic spiritual love, the souls in the three yugas suffer in the heat of the day. But when they sit under this tree, they find cooling bliss.
     3. The fruit of this tree bears the name Nityänanda. That fruit is delicious with the nectar of ecstatic spiritual love. That fruit is very sweet to eat. In heis heart Çré Çukadeva knows how sweet that fruit is. Uddhava dasa is a fly that somehow has landed on one of those fruits.

Vasudeva Ghosa

Lord Gaura Descends to This World

Song 1 (Tudi-raga or Karuna-raga)

1. jaya jaya kala-raba nadiya nagare
janama labhiya gora sacira udare
2. phalguna purnima tithi naksatra phalguni
subha-ksane janamila gora dvija-mani
3. purnimara candra jini kirana prakasa

4. dvapare nandera ghare krsna abatara

5. sacira udare ebe janma nadiyate
kali-yugera jiba saba nistara karite
6. basudeba ghosa kahe mane kari asa
gaura-pada-dvandva hrde kariya bharasa

 1. As sweet sounds of "Glory! Glory!" filled the towns of Nadiya, Lord Gaura took birth in Saci's womb.
 2. The day was the full-moon day of the month of Phalguna. The star was Phalguni. At that auspicious moment Lord Gaura, the jewel of the twice-born, took birth.
 3. When Lord Gaura's effulgence defeated the full moon, the blinding darkness gave up all hope. Deeply dejected, it fled far away.
 4. During Dvapara-yuga, Lord Krsn a descended into King Nanda's home. The people of the world thought Krsn a had taken birth in Yasoda's womb.
 5. In the same way, to deliver the fallen souls in Kali-yuga, Lord Gaura took birth in Saci's womb in Nadiya.
 6. Vasudeva Ghosa says: In my heart I keep my hope. In my heart I take shelter of Lord Gaura's feet.

Song 2 (Kalyana-raga)

1. nadiya akase asi  udila gauranga-sasi

5. putrera badana dekhi jagannatha maha-sukhiS kare dana daridra sakale
bhubana ananda-maya gaura-bidhu samudaya
 basu kahe jiba-bhagya-phale

 1. When the moon of Lord Gaura rose in the sky of Nadiya, everyone floated in bliss. Embarrassed, the ordinary moon blackened his face with soot and pretended he was being eclipsed.
 2. The women loudly chanted "Jaya! Jaya!" In home after home bells and conchshells were sounded. Damama trumpets, turi bugles, kamsi cymbals, sanais, and flutes all sounded. Dagada, bheuda, bheri, and jayadhaka drums were beaten.
 3. Jagannatha Misra's heart was plunged in bliss. Saci's happiness had no end. Gazing at Nimai's face, she forgot the sufferings of giving birth. With unblinking eyes she gazed at her son's face.
 4. In ther darkness of the eclipse no one could clearly see the nature of other persons. Disguised as ordinary men and women the demigods and goddesses came to Nadiya and gazed at Lord Gaura's handsome form.
 5. Gazing at hisa son's face, Jagannatha Misra became joyful. He gave charity to all the poor. When the moon of Lord Gaura thus rose the world became filled with bliss. Vasudeva Ghosa says: Then the people of the world became truly fortunate. They attained the results of many past pious deeds.

Lord Gaura's Childhood Pastimes

Song 3 (Suhai-raga)

5. nima-i baliya nama deha dvija-bara
basudeva ghosa kahe judi de-i kara

 1. In his heart Purandara Misra thought: I shall call for great brahmana priests and bring them here.
 2. He greeted them with words of welcvome. He gave them gifts of jewel ornaments.
 3. With his own hands he offered them arghya. He picked up Lord Gauracandra and asked the brahmanas to place blessings on His head.
 4. Saci Thakurani spoke a few words. She said that after seven lost sons destiny had finally given a son to her.
 5. The great brahmanas gave the boy the name Nimai. Folding his hands, Vasudeva Ghosa speaks these words.

Song 4 (Tudi-raga)

1. eka-mukhe ki kahiba goracandera lila
hamagudi nana range yaya saci-bala
2. lale mukha jhara jhara dekhite sundara
paka bimba-phala jini sundara adhara
3. angada balaya sobhe su-bahu-yugale

4. sonara sikali pithe patera khopana
basudeva ghosa kahe nichani apana

 1. With only one mouth how can I describe all of Lord Gauracandra's pastimes? Saci's crawling infant enjoyed many pastimes.
 2. Gazing at her son's glorious handsome face, Saci felt tears flow from her eyes. His handsopme lips defeated the ripe bimba fruits.
 3. Bracelets and armlets decorated His wrists and arms. Dolphin anklets rested on His feet and a tiger-claw necklace on His neck.
 4. He wore silk garments and a golden-chain belt. Vasudeva Ghosa says: I worship Him.

Song 5 (Beloyara-raga, Dasakosi)

1. mayera anguli dhari sisu gaura-hari
hanti hanti paya paya yaya gudigudi
2. tani laiYa mora hata cale ksane jore
pada adha ya-ite thekada kari pade
3. saci-mata kole laite yaya dhuli jhadi
akhati kariya gora bhume deya gadi
4. aha aha bali mata muchaya ancale

5. basu kahe e chabala dhulaya lotaba
sneha-bhare tumi mago kata theka-iba

 1. Grasping His mother's finger, infant Gaura-hari walked step by step.
 2. Tugging at His mother's hand, for a moment He walked, carefully taking half-steps. Then He stumbled and fell.
 3. Mother Saci placed Him in her lap and brush the dust from His body. Again trying to walk, infant Gaura-hari again fell to the ground.
 4. Saying, "Aha1 Aha!", with the edge of her garment Mother Saci again wiped the dust from His body. Holding Him in her lap, she kissed His lotus face.
 5. Vasudeva Ghosa says: In this way infant Gaura-hari fell to the dust. Filled with love, he asks: How many times did Gaura-hari fall?

Song 6 (Beloyara-raga, Dasakosi)

1. purnima rajani canda gagane udaya
canda heri goracandera harisa hrdaya
2. canda de ma bali sisu kande ubharaya
hata tuli saci dake aya canda aya
3. na ase nithura canda nima-i byakula

4. radha-krsna-citra eka misra-grhe chila

5. citra paYa goracandera mane bada sukha
basu kahe pate pachum hera nija-mukha 

 1. The full moon rises in the evening sky. Seeing the moon, child Gauracandra feels happiness in His heart.
 2. "Mother, give Me the moon!" He loudly demands. Lifting her arms, Mother Saci calls out, "Come here, O moon! Come here!"

 3. Grasping dearmost Gadadhara's left hand, He sings His own glories, the glories of Lord Govinda. His body is overcome with ecstatic love. The hairs of his body stand erect. He roars like a lion.

In a voice like a thundering cloud, again and again He calls for His brothers,the devotees. The weight of His footsteps makes the earth tremble.
 4. To the fallen souls merciful Lord Nitai gave the gift of ecstatic spiritual love, a gift the demigod Brahma did not know even existed. By His own kindness Lord Nitai plunged the three worlds in the flooding nectar of that love. Everyone was plunged. Only Vasudeva Ghosa was not. Only he was cheated of that nectar.

 2. That tree had branches of devotion, leaves of spiritual love, and flowers of bliss. It enchanted the entire world.
 3. It bore fruits of pure ecstatic spiritual love. It bore them at every moment. From those fruits flowed a shoreless ocean of ever-new sweet nectar.
 4. The cranes, cuckoos, parrots, bees, and swans that are the devotees always glorify that tree.
 5. The demigods, the human beings, and all the moving and unmoving beings stay in the shade of the tree and are nourished by its fruits. Only Vasudeva dasa, because of his past evil deeds, is cheated of tasting those fruits.

 1. Staying in a secluded place, the Supreme Personality of Godhead chants the holy names of Lord Krsn a without stop.
 2. He is the crest jewel of all avataras. He is the cintaman i jewel of all sannyasis who have Krsn a as their only property. 
 3. Fragrant sandal paste is nothing compared to the fragrance of His body. 
 4. Even in their dreams, the most glorious jewel ornaments cannot touch the glory of His body.
 5. He renounced His pastimes with Goddess Laksmi. Now He sits under a tree.
 6. He put aside His flute and forest-garland. Grasping a dan da, now He is a sannyasi.
 7. Turning aside from His pastimes of jests and laughter, now He weeps, tears streaming from the blossoming flowers of His eyes.
 8. Now His only wealth is the treasure of pure spiritual love. Now He stays with penniless devotees, devotees who have Krsn a as their only treasure.
 9. Now He makes a great shower of tears of spiritual love. Vasu says: My life-breath is now split into pieces.

Aroused by restless glances from the corners of His eyes, millions and millions of goddesses of fortune playfully glance at Him from the corners of their eyes.
 2. Hearing the nectar glories of Vrndavana, His heart becomes wild. Raising His two arms, He chants, "Hari!" He wildly dances. He is the king of dancers. How many flooding rivers of tears does He make flow on the earth? His eyes have become like two pitchers pouring tears of ecstatic love.
 3. He is the master of purusa and prakrti. He is more charming than Kamadeva. He stands at the highest pinnacle of  glorious handsomeness. Lord 
Gaura is an ocean of the nectar of ecstatic spiritual love. He is most deep and most wise. seeing Him, a wise woman cannot keep her peaceful composure.
 4. He is the most handsome person in the three worlds. His shoulders are broad. his arms are graceful and long. He is anointed with kugkuma, sandal, and musk. Taking shelter of the soles of His feet, Vasu sings this song.

 1. Lord Nitai is the fallen soul's only friend. After may past pious deeds a soul, by destiny, will meet Lord Nityananda. In the midst of poverty he finds an ocean of jewels.
 2. Glancing in the four directions, Lord Nitai calls out, "Gaura Raya!", and falls unconscious to the ground. The Lord's companions surround Him. Lord Nitai embraces them. Gazing at them, the Lord sprinkles them with tears flowing from the moon of His face.
 3. From the khaYjana birds of His reddish eyes flow streams of tears of spiritual love, streams of tears like a celestial Gagga flowing from golden Mount Sumeru. In a voice like a thundering cloud, again and again He calls for His brothers,the devotees. The weight of His footsteps makes the earth tremble.
 4. To the fallen souls 
merciful Lord Nitai gave the gift of ecstatic spiritual love, a gift the demigod Brahma did not know even existed. By His own kindness Lord Nitai plunged the three worlds in the flooding nectar of that love. Everyone was plunged. Only Vasudeva Ghosa was not. Only he was cheated of that nectar.

 3. Grasping dearmost Gadadhara's left hand, He sings His own glories, the glories of Lord Govinda. His body is overcome with ecstatic love. The hairs of his body stand erect. He roars like a lion.
 4. Another moment He gently smiles. What desire glistens in the glance from the corner of His reddish eyes? He suddenly remembers all His pastimes in Vrndavana. Ah, what will Vasudeva Ghosa say now

     1. The circle of His face is a blossoming golden lotus. His eyes are restless khaëjana birds. His broad forehead is anointed with the tilaka that is Lord Hari's temple. He carries a waterpot. A kaupéna is tied about His waist.
     2. (Refrain) Glory, glory to Lord Gauracandra, the destroyer of sins, the purifier of the fallen, the savior of the worlds, the Lord who revealed the saëkértana movement of chanting the holy names!
     3. His glorious arms reach to His knees. A mälaté garland swings to and fro from His neck. His tall form enchants the world's hearts. Like kadamba filaments, the hairs of His body stand erect in ecstasy.
     4. The blossoming flowers of the soles of His feet are red like the rising sun. He is not different from Advaita and Nityänanda. The nectar at the lotus flowers of His feet makes Vijayänanda däsa float in an ocean of bliss.

     1. Please gaze, O, at Caitanya-avatära. As He sings, the hairs of His body stand erect. Overcome with ecstasy, He rolls on the ground. He is Lord Kåñëa, the king of Vaiku/nöha. To this world descending in the form of a brähma/na, He enjoys pastimes of sa/nkértana.
     2. His form is graceful and glorious. His complexion defeats gold. His long arms reach to His knees. Manifesting the form of a sannyäsé, He is overcome by tasting the nectar of love for a person who is actually Himself. How does He dance in such ecstasy? I do not know.
     3. O Çré Gaurasundara, O ocean of mercy, glory to You! O king of Våndävana, glory to You! O king of Navadvépa, please give the shade of Your lotus feet to this wicked Våndävana däsa.

     1. O devotees of Lord Gaura and Lord Govinda, O rasikas, please hear of the Supreme Lord who is Lord Viñ/nu and Lord Mahä-Viñ/nu. His toenails are the abode of the Brahman effulgence. He is the life's breath of the sages and demigods.
     2. Externally His complexion is fair. In His heart His complexion is different. His external complexion glistens with the color of Çré Rädhä's limbs. He enjoys pastimes on a thousand-petal lotus, a lotus with four gates.
     3. His abodes are Goloka, Vaiku/nöha, and Çvetadvépa. Any single one of His names is a shoreless ocean of bliss. He is Väsudeva, Sa/nkarña/na, Pradyumna, and Aniruddha, who have abodes in the four directions.
     4. Reclining on the lap of a snake king floating on the ocean of milk, He enjoys pastimes of mystic sleep. That snake king is the origin of all avatäras. He is the master of Çvetadvépa. He is Lord Ananta-Nityänanda.
     5. (Refrain) With thousands and thousands of forked tongues moving in thousands of thousands of mouths, Lord Ananta-Nityänanda chants the glories of Lord Gauracandra. Goddess Mahä-Lakñmé places Lord Viñ/nu-Gauracandra's feet on her chest.
     6. On each of Lord Ananta-Nityänanda's thousands of hoods rests a jewel crown. His white body glistens with many colors. How many associates has Lord Viñ/nu-Gauracandra? Sanaka-kumära, Sanat-kumära, and a host of sages and demigods joyfully glorify Him with prayers.
     7. How many Brahmäs are born from each one of His body's pores? Each Brahmä begets a great variety of creatures. Rämacandra and the other avatäras are all His plenary parts. They are the rulers of the universes.
     8. In this way Lord Viñ/nu-Gauracandra enjoys pastimes without end. How many worlds of mäyä does He create? His eyes are quivers filled with sidelong-glance arrows aimed at Çré Rädhä. Above the material world is His spiritual abode, which bears the name Çré Våndävana. Thus the devotee who bears the name Våndävana däsa sings His glories.

     1. Look at Lord Gauracandra and Lord Nitäi, the two brothers who have descended to this earth, two brothers whose forms are wonderful and glorious!
     2. The glory of Their faces defeats the lotus flowers. They are effulgent with the glory of ecstatic spiritual love.
     3. Their limbs are anointed with sandal paste. Raising Their arms, They chant, "Hari!"
     4. In this way They manifest the näma-sa/nkértana movement, the movement of chanting the holy names. Våndävana däsa thus sings Their glories.

Song 4 (Suha-i-räga)

1. madana-mohana tanu gaurä/nga sundara

     1. Graceful Lord Gaurä/nga is more enchanting than Kämadeva. Glistening Vaiñ/nava tilaka adorns His forheead.
     2. He wears glorious trikaccha garments. His hair is curly. His two eyes are naturally restless.
     3. Manifesting a very slender form, Lord Ananta has become His white sacred-thread.
     4. On His lips rest betelnuts and a smile. Våndävana däsa worships Him.

1. A wonderful moon has rise in the towns of Nadiya. The  great darkness cannot stay in the three worlds. On receiving the  gift of ecstatic spiritual love, a gift hidden even from the  Vedas, every soul on this earth finds that all his troubles are  now destroyed.
     2. (Refrain) O my Gaurangasundara Raya! He is the  blossoming lotus in the devotees' hearts. He has the solution to  every poor soul's problems.
     3. Sesa, Siva, Narada, and Brahma sing His glories  without stop. Hearing His own glories, peerless Lord Gauranga  rolls in ecstasy on the ground.
     4. Oceans of nectar tears of love stream from His reddened  eyes. Yadunatha dasa says: The fruits of the fallens souls'  past deeds have now become transformed into hosts of pearls.
