Verses

Verse 1

baraja-bhūṣaṇa-gaura-bidhu-bara, kari bibāha binoda-gati para

preyasī saha cala-i nija ghara, parama adbhuta śohaye

caḍhala caudala māhi jhalakata, rūpa amiya prabāha uchalata

balita nayana śiṅgāra anupama, nikhila jana-mana mohaye

Verse 2

hota jaya jaya śabda abirata, nārī purukha asaṅkhya nirakhata

paraspara bhaṇa lakhimī lakhimīka-nātha duṅhu bilasata janu

bandī-gaṇa mana moda atiśaya, ucarita naba naba carita madhumaya

bhūri bhūsura karata ghana ghana, beda-dhwani pulakita tanu

Verse 3

bādya bahu-bidha muraja muradala, trisari kuṇḍali paṭaha puṣkala

ku-ku nu-nu-nu-nu-nudhā, bibidha bāyata madhura bādaka ghaṭā

naṭata nartakī nartakābalī, ughaṭi tadhikā dhikitā dhini

nidhi dhennā dhiki taka tala dharu, paga-bhaṅgī camakata tanu chaṭā

Verse 4

jāti-śruti swara-grāma murachana, tāna naba naba naba ālāpana

śunata kānana tyaji mṛga, guṇī-bṛnda nikaṭahi dhāya-e

bhabana cahu diśa bipula kala-kala, dāsa narahari hṛdaya ucalala

samaya go-dhūli lalita suradhunī tīre birami ghare āya-e

Translation

Verse 1

The pastimes of His wedding now complete, gloriously decorated Lord Gauracandra returns home with His bride. He is wonderfully handsome and glorious. Riding in a palanquin, He is splendid and glorious. His handsomeness is like a flooding stream of nectar. The sight of His peerless glorious decorated form fills every eye. He charms the people's hearts.

Verse 2

Without stop the people call, "Jaya! Jaya!" Numberless men and women gaze at Him. The people say amongst themselves: "They are glorious like Goddess Lakṣmī and Lord Nārāyaṇa." Their hearts filled with bliss, the poets recite sweet prayers describing the divine couple's new new pastimes. The brāhmaṇas, who are like demigods on the earth, chant the Vedas. The hairs of their bodies stand erect with bliss.

Verse 3

The musicians play murajas, maradalas, trisaris, kuṇḍalis, paṭahas, puṣkalas, and many other musical instruemnts. "Ku-ku nu-nu-nu-nu-nu!", the band's instruments sweetly declare. The dancers dance many dances. “Tādhika dhikitā dhini! Nidhi dhennā dhiki taka!", the rhythms of their dances declare. Their forms move in wonderful graceful gestures.

Verse 4

The musicians play newer and newer and newer melodies, melodies that enchant the ears of every being. Hearing these melodies, the deer leave the forest and run to the assembly of saintly revelers. The sweet music fills all the directions and enters every house. The music floods Narahari dāsa's heart with bliss. At the time when the cows raise dust with their hooves, the wedding party stops at the charming Gaṅgā's banks and then goes to Lord Gaura's home.
