Translation

Verse 1

Glory, glory to Śacī's son Gaura, the abode of auspicious dancing! In the bliss of kīrtana Śrīvāsa, Rāmānanda, Mukunda, and Vasudeva Ghoṣa sing His glories.

Verse 2

"Dṛaṁ drāṁ drimi drimi!", the drums declare. The sweet nectar cymbals chime. The conchshells, karatālas, and bells make a sweet sound. The dancers' footsteps mark the beat.

Verse 3

Someone anoints Lord Gaura's limbs with fragrant sandal-paste. Somone offers Him a jasmine garland. The devotees are overcome with ecstatic love, their hearts pierced by flower-arrows of love for Lord Gaura.

Verse 4

Some say that Lord Gaura is Jānakī's beloved Rāma, that He is Rādhā's beloved Kṛṣṇa, handsome like Kāmadeva. In Nayanānanda's heart this thought arises: Lord Gaura is the life's breath of my Gadādhara. I do not know anything more than this.
