Translation

Verse 1

Crushing the powerful wild elephant of Kali-yuga, Nadīyā’s lion of Lord Gaura dances. Sounds of “Jaya! Jaya!” fill the worlds. From the four directions everyone runs to Him.

Verse 2

Lord Gaura sings with His dear companions. Waves of rhythms, rhythms even the Kinnaras cannot play, flow. “Dṛmiki dṛmi dāndā drimikaṭa dhikaṭa dhilaṅga!”, the murajas and mṛdaṅgas declare.

Verse 3

With the touch of Lord Gaura’s lotus feet, the earth trembles. Lord Gaura’s body moves with peerless grace. He is overcome with ecstatic spiritual love. Gazing at His glorious reddish eyes, how many Kāmadevas are filled with wonder?

Verse 4

His charming face rebukes a host of moons. His gentle gentle smiles are flowing streams of nectar. To the fallen sinners Narahari’s master gives the gift of ecstatic spiritual love. With His arms He hugs them.
