Translation

Verse 1

Wonderful Lord Gaura is the king of dancers. He, the hero of ecstatic spiritual love, enjoys pastimes in Navadvīpa.

Verse 2

His hair is curly. He is gloriously fragrant. Sandal tilaka adorns His forehead. Seeing Him, saintly women close the door on the palace of shyness.

Verse 3

His words defeat the words of the best of poets. His arms are graceful. His movements defeat the graceful elephants. With His steps He seems to jump over the summit of Mount Sumeru. His tears are like a flooding celestial Gaṅgā.

Verse 4

His reddish feet have no peer. His fingernails and toenails are like jewels or like glistening moons. His sweet fragrance attracts the buzzing bees of the devotees. Vāsudeva Datta is entranced by Him.
