Translation

Verse 1

His graceful motions rebuke the graceful khañjana birds. Again and again He falls. Again and again He stands up. He makes a great roaring sound. He gazes with crooked eyes.

Verse 2

He chants "Gaura! Gaura!" in a voice like thunder. With karatālas He makes a great sound. Tears stream from His lotus eyes. His is overcome with spiritual love. When He sees the fallen sinners, He calls to them: "Come! Please come!" and He hugs them.

Verse 3

He loudly roars. He slaps His arms. How many, how many symptoms of ecstasy does He manifest? His body is flooded with hairs standing erect in ecstasy, hairs standing like kadamba filaments. He is wild with the ecstasy of love for the devotees, Ṝis brothers.

Verse 4

He is beyond the touch of the Agamas and Nigamas. He is beyond the sight of the Vedas' rules. He gives a great gift to the fallen souls. Atmārāma dāsa says: I am hard like a rock. Only I have not attained even a small fragment of Lord Nitāi's mercy.
