Translation

Verse 1

One person says: “This is an ocean of the wonderful nectar of ecstatic spiritual love.” Another persons says: “This is nectar personified.” Another says: “This is a kalpa-taru tree.” In my heart a doubt now arises.

Verse 2

The person I saw is peerless Lord Gauracandra. He does not ask for anything in the three worlds. He wishes only the jewel of Lord Kṛṣṇa's holy name.

Verse 3

He does not ask for even a single drop of water from the ocean of material happiness. He will accept only the water that falls from the raincloud of spiritual love. He is a kalpa-taru tree that fulfills the desires of every heart. Who is limitlessly merciful like Him?

Verse 4

The nectar of His pastimes flows along the pathway of the ears enters the lake of the heart exits from the eyes in the form of tears irrigates the dry land of the limbs and makes to sprout the plants of the bodily hairs standing erect in ecstasy.

Verse 5

His holy name cools the burning sufferings of this world. Shall we compare His holy name to the cooling moon? Ghanaśyāma dasa says: No. His holy name is like millions and millions of moons standing in one place.
