Translation

Verse 1

O devotees of Lord Gaura and Lord Govinda, O rasikas, please hear of the Supreme Lord who is Lord Viṣṅu and Lord Mahā-Viṣṅu. His toenails are the abode of the Brahman effulgence. He is the life's breath of the sages and demigods.

Verse 2

Externally His complexion is fair. In His heart His complexion is different. His external complexion glistens with the color of Śrī Rādhā's limbs. He enjoys pastimes on a thousand-petal lotus, a lotus with four gates.

Verse 3

His abodes are Goloka, Vaikuṅṭha, and Śvetadvīpa. Any single one of His names is a shoreless ocean of bliss. He is Vāsudeva, Saṅkarṣaṅa, Pradyumna, and Aniruddha, who have abodes in the four directions.

Verse 4

Reclining on the lap of a snake king floating on the ocean of milk, He enjoys pastimes of mystic sleep. That snake king is the origin of all avatāras. He is the master of Śvetadvīpa. He is Lord Ananta-Nityānanda.

Verse 5

With thousands and thousands of forked tongues moving in thousands of thousands of mouths, Lord Ananta-Nityānanda chants the glories of Lord Gauracandra. Goddess Mahā-Lakṣmī places Lord Viṣṅu-Gauracandra's feet on her chest.

Verse 6

On each of Lord Ananta-Nityānanda's thousands of hoods rests a jewel crown. His white body glistens with many colors. How many associates has Lord Viṣṅu-Gauracandra? Sanaka-kumāra, Sanat-kumāra, and a host of sages and demigods joyfully glorify Him with prayers.

Verse 7

How many Brahmās are born from each one of His body's pores? Each Brahmā begets a great variety of creatures. Rāmacandra and the other avatāras are all His plenary parts. They are the rulers of the universes.

Verse 8

In this way Lord Viṣṅu-Gauracandra enjoys pastimes without end. How many worlds of māyā does He create? His eyes are quivers filled with sidelong-glance arrows aimed at Śrī Rādhā. Above the material world is His spiritual abode, which bears the name Śrī Vṛndāvana. Thus the devotee who bears the name Vṛndāvana dāsa sings His glories.
