Translation

Verse 1

Lord Gaura returns home with many jewels. To mother Śacī He happily gives the wealth He had brought.

Verse 2

Lord Gaura bows down before her and gazes at her face. He face drawn and withered, Śacī speaks not a word.

Verse 3

Lord Gaura says, "Mother, why is your face so drawn and withered? When I see your face so sad, My heart bursts into flames.

Verse 4

Hearing these words, Śacī speaks some broken words in a choked voice. Tears stream from her eyes and wet the cloth over her heart.

Verse 5

She has no power to speak. Grief fills her throat. Finally she says, "My daughter-in-law has gone to Vaikuṇṭha."

Verse 6

Lord Gaura says, "Renounce your grief. O mother, please hear My words. No one can destroy his destiny, the destiny Lord Brahmā writes on his forehead."

Verse 7

Carefully listening to her son's words, Śacī did not lament. She did not lament in her heart.

Verse 8

Locana dāsa says: Please hear this pastime, the pastime of Lakṣmīpriyā's ascent to Vaikuṇṭha. In this way I have sung of Lord Viśvambhara's pastimes.
