Translation

Verse 1

From Lord Gaurāṅga flows a great river of nectar. The waves of that river are waves of ecstatic spiritual love. That flooding river never stops flowing.

Verse 2

Abhirāma Ṭhākura and Sāraṅga Ṭhākura are that river's two banks. Acyutānanda is its whirlpool of ecstatic love.

Verse 3

Śrī Advaitacandra is that river's current. Lord Nityānanda is both the diver that swims in that river and the captain of the boat that plies its waters.

Verse 4

Śrīvāsa Thakura and his associates are the fish that swim in those waters of spiritual love. Svarūpa Gosvāmī and Rūpa Gosvāmī are the sunlight of ecstatic love glistening on that river.

Verse 5

Alas, unable to swim in that river, sad Śekhara dāsa stays on the bank and loudly weeps.
