Translation

Verse 1

Why did the Supreme Lord leave Goloka? Why did He change His dark form into a form with a fair complexion?

Verse 2

Why, leaving behind His pastimes of joking and laughter, does the Lord now weep? I do not know. Why and for whom did Lord Gaura set His trap of ecstatic spiritual love?

Verse 3

One moment He calls out "Kṛṣṇa! Kṛṣṇa!" and weeps. The next moment He calls out, "Sakhī! Sakhī!"

Verse 4

One moment He calls out, "Mathurā! Mathurā!" Another moment He calls out, "Akrūra!" He is distraught.

Verse 5

Moment after moment He calls out, "Wretched moon! Wretched sandal paste!" He rolls in the dust. Surrounded by His companions, He weeps.

Verse 6

"Although they have been burned into ashes, the saintly gopīs do not give up their lives!", He says. Filled with distress, He rolls on the ground.

Verse 7

Gadādhara weeps. He hugs the master of his life. Rāmānanda Rāya weeps. He is tossed to and fro by ecstatic spiritual love.

Verse 8

Svarūpa Dāmodara and Rūpa Gosvāmī also weep. Remembering these pastimes, but not understanding anything of them, Nayanānanda dāsa also weeps.
