Translation

Verse 1

Overcome with ecstatic love, Lord Caitanya entered Godruma with Nityānanda and Advaita.

Verse 2

Intoxicated by tasting the nectar of the holy name, He entered the martketplace of the holy name and gave the holy name away for free. He made the whole world float in ecstatic love.

Verse 3

Today the sufferings of Godruma's people have fled far away. Accompanied by His devotees, the Lord has awakened the marketplace of the holy name.

Verse 4

Wandering in Nadīyā, Lord Caitanya entered the marketplace of the holy name. When Lord Caitanya entered that marketplace, Lord Nityānanda entered the marketplace with Him.

Verse 5

Wild with ecstasy, Lord Nityānanda dances in Godruma's pastures and fields. Clapping His arms in ecstatic love, Lord Nityānanda makes the whole universe wild with ecstasy.

Verse 6

(Everyone come and look!) Led by Advaita, the devotees dance at ghāṭa after ghāṭa. Finding himself in grave danger, ferocious Kali-yuga has fled far away.

Verse 7

Why did every soul float in bliss? Seeing and hearing of Lord Caitanya's dancing, even the blasphemers found their hearts break with ecstatic love.
