Translation

Verse 1

In the Kali-yuga Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya descended to this world. He enjoyed kīrtana pastimes with khola and karatāla.

Verse 2

Chanting His own holy names, He rolled on the ground in ecstasy. Going from house to house, He gave to everyone the gift of Lord Hari's holy name.

Verse 3

For the benefit of the jīvas, the Lord loudly wept in the ecstasy of spiritual love. Giving them the gift of Lord Kṛṣṇa's holy names, He revived the jīvas.

Verse 4

Tears of ecstatic spiritual love flowed from His eyes. His fair spiritual form purified all the worlds.

Verse 5

His glorious face shone like the full moon. No one had ever seen an ocean of mercy like Him.

Verse 6

Overcome with ecstatic spiritual love, His body trembled. Dancing and dancing as He went, He chanted, “Haribol!"

Verse 7

A kaupīna rested on His slender waist. Staggering and staggering as He walked, He fell at Gadādhara's side.

Verse 8

Lord Gaurāṅga's ears never listened to anything but descriptions of Lord Kṛṣṇa. His heart was plunged in the nectar of songs glorifying Lord Kṛṣṇa.

Verse 9

He could not be peaceful. Tears of ecstatic spiritual love flowed from Lord Gaurāṅga's eyes. The Lord hugged the poor fallen souls.

Verse 10

He meditated on the loving pastimes He previously enjoyed with His associates, pastimes He enjoyed as Lord Kṛṣṇa. Who was the person with a threefold-bending form standing before Him? He did not know.

Verse 11

He made the whole world float in the nectar of ecstatic spiritual love. On the Gaṅgā's banks He manifested the beautiful spiritual world of Vṛndāvana.

Verse 12

Brahmā, Śiva, and all the demigods search for Him. Thousand-eyed Indra meditates on Him but cannot find Him.

Verse 13

He walked like a graceful intoxicated elephant. His gentle smile was sweet. In His home Mother Yaśodā was present.

Verse 14

His charming form defeated Kāmadeva. His handsomeness and playfulness were without peer.

Verse 15

Everyone says that Lord Kṛṣṇa, who was the son of Vasudeva and the son of Nanda, has now become Śacī's son.

Verse 16

He manifested a wonderful six-armed form. Lord Gaura is sweet like nectar. He is the master of my life.

Verse 17

O my brothers, please chant, "Hari! Hari!" Please perform a great yajña of chanting Lord Hari's holy names. Now that everyone chants the holy names, no one remains foolish and bewildered on the surface of the earth.
