Translation

Verse 1

He is a great avatāra! O my brothers He is a great avatāra! To the fallen people of the world He gave the treasure-house of ecstatic spiritual love.

Verse 2

Lord Gauracandra’s pastimes are wonderful. He is glorious like a king. Staggering in ecstasy He steadies Himself by holding a Vaiśṇava’s shoulders.

Verse 3

No other avatāra is like Him.

Verse 4

Those whom all people shun as untouchable, the demigods beg first for the dust of their feet.

Verse 5

Even the yavanas dance, sing and chant the holy name of Hari, yet from such an incarnation only Balarama (dasa) is deprived.
