Translation

Verse 1

His complexion is fair. His form is splendid enchanting handsome sweet and graceful. His garments defeat the peerless rising sun. His face is handsome and graceful.

Verse 2

I saw Lord Gaurāṅgacandra. Now I am overcome. Lord Gaura is a splendid moon rising in Navadvīpa a moon that destroys the horrible darkness of Kali-yuga's sins.

Verse 3

His eyes are restless with ecstatic spiritual love. He frees everyuone from the bonds of repeeated birth and death. His graceful form is overcome with newer and newer ecstatic spiritual love. He stays amongst the devotees.

Verse 4

He gently gently smiles. He speaks sweet words. He slow movements are graceful. Giving them the seed of ecstatic spiritual love He delivers the poor fallen people. Only Govinda dāsa He did not deliver. Only Govinda dāsa was cheated.
