Translation

Verse 1

The wild elephants of Kali-yuga have fled. The deer of wicked thoughts are noe far away. They who in the past were sinful and misled now wear necklaces strung with hundreds of pearls of the holy names.

Verse 2

The wonderful fair lion of Lord Gaura now enters the mountain cave that is the town of Navadvīpa.

Verse 3

Hearing that lion’s roar of sankirtana, the tigers of sins become terrified and the deer of anima and other other yogic powers renounce all their pride.

Verse 4

The rabbits and jackals of renunciation, yajṇa, self-control, vows, and equanimity are all afraid. Balarāma dāsa says: This comes from the glory of Lord Gaura’s chanting “Hari! Hari!”
