Translation

Verse 1

Now that Lord Gaura has gone ot East Bengal His close associates suffer. How many ways do they lament? Anyone who hears Lakṣmīpriyā-devī weep feels his heart break in two. He feels daylight had suddenly become blinding darkness.

Verse 2

Alas! Alas! She cannot bear separation fro Lord Gaurāṅga. If once again she saw Lord Gaura's face then all her sufferings would perish. Then her life's breath would remain in her body.

Verse 3

Hearing Śacī's laments every living being weeps. Mālinī tries to console her. The ladies of Nadīyā weep moment after moment. Their garments and ornaments no longer seem glorious to them.

Verse 4

How many days must pass before the auspicious day comes the day when they see Lord Gaurāṅga walk on the path by the Gaṅgā's banks? Hearing words come from His moonlike face the living entities will find their burning sufferings turn into cooling bliss. Alas! Now that Lord Gaura is absent Govinda Ghoṣa's body has become emaciated wasted away.
