Translation

Verse 1

O my brother, please look! His form is that of a powerful wrestler. His name is Nitāi. He calls out to His brother-devtoees. I have no power to understand His pastimes.

Verse 2

He is overcome with ecstatic love. Tears stream from His rolling eyes. He does not know one direction from another. He roars like a lion. He thunders like a cloud. He is oblivious, not aware of anyone in the whole world.

Verse 3

His pastimes are nectar. His form is handsome. He enjoys pastimes of joyful dancing. He rips into shreds the folly og Kali-yuga. He sways to and fro as He walks. He is rapt in pastimes of saṅkīrtana.

Verse 4

On His waist He wears garments of many colors. His limbs are anointed with sandal paste. Jñāna dāsa says: Destiny brought Him to the Kali-yuga. That is why this kind of ecstatic bliss is now present in Kali-yuga.
