Translation

Verse 1

Lord Gaura Rāya dances before the wonderful Ratha. Gathering around Him, the glorious and fortunate devotees sing.

Verse 2

Overcome with ecstasy, He does not know if it is day or night. Gazing at Lord Jagannātha’s face, Lord Gaura is filled with bliss. His heart filled with love, Lord Gaura dances.

Verse 3

The kholas and karatālas sound. The kīrtana is sweet. There are loud calls of “Haribol!” Sounds of [.sy 168}Jaya! Jaya!”, sounds like the jewels of all happinesses, fill the sky.

Verse 4

The people of Nīlācala and other places feel their hearts always swim in the great ocean of ecstatic spiritual love. Even sad and unfortunate Yadu dāsa feels his heart swim in that ocean.
