baṇcita balarāma dāsa

Translation

Verse 1

Coming to Nadīyā filling the worlds with His gift of ecstatic spiritual love and giving everyone the gift of Lord Kṛṣṇa’s holy names Lord Gaurasundara delivered the sinners the blasphemers the poor the fallen the low-born and everyone else.

Verse 2

Hearing of Lord Gaurāṅga’s glories my life-breath weeps. Seeing the people did not know the truth Lord Gaurāṅga His heart unsteady began to call out “Chant the holy name of Hari!”

Verse 3

Seeing Gadādhara Lord Gaurāṅga began to weep. Walking with unsteady steps with His hands He grasps Svarūpa Dāmodara and Rāmānanda Rāya. Saying “Ah! The graceful footprints of My Lord!” Lord Gaurāṅga began to roll about in the dust. Then embracing Lord Nityānanda He wept.

Verse 4

Everyone including even the blind and deaf became wild because of Lord Gaura’s glories. In all the directions no one knew anything but Him. Raising His arms He chanted “Haribol!¢ He hugged the fallen people. Lord Gaura plunged the people of the world in the nectar of ecstatic spiritual love. From the highest to the lowest He transformed every person into a great devotee of the Lord. Only Balarāma dāsa He did not transform. Only Balarāma dāsa was cheated.
