Translation

Verse 1

Seeing the sufferings of the fallen souls souls devoured by Kali-yuga souls stunned by their own sins Lord Kṛṣṇa felt compassion for them. Leaving behind the bliss of Gokola He came to this world.

Verse 2

Look at Lord Gaura! His glories have no end. Approaching rhe poor fallen souls He begs them to accept the gift of ecstatic spiritual love love even the demigod Brahmā yearns to attain.

Verse 3

Lord Gaura does not consider caste. He gaves that love to all even down to the caṇḍālas. Lord Gaura is an ocean of mercy. Overcome with ecstatic love His body trembles as He walks. His steps fill the earth with bliss.

Verse 4

Moment after moment He is overcome with compassion. In a deep voice He roars. Seeing the fallen souls He is overcome. Hugging and hugging them He weeps.

Verse 5

He soft feet are like red lotus flowers. His face is like a lotus flower. His words spoken in a broken voice are the sweetest songs.

Verse 6

Raising His arms He roars "Hari! Haribol!" Calling out "Rādhā! Rādhā!" He hugs Gadādhara and weeps.

Verse 7

Moment after moment calling out "Flute! Flute!" He gazes at Svarūpa Dāmodara's face. Govinda dāsa simply watches all this ecstasy. What power has he to describe it?
