Translation

Verse 1

Where is anyone handsome and glorious like Lord Gaura? His handsome form charms all of Nadīyā.

Verse 2

His glistneing hair is neatly bound and decorated with raṅgaṇa mālatī yūthī pārulī bakula and many other kinds of flowers.

Verse 3

Eager for nectar how many black bees floy amongst those flowers? When they see Lord Gaura they cannot keep their life’s breath peaceful within their bodies.

Verse 4

A necklace of pearls and jewels glistens on His chest. On His every limâ ornaments glisten like lightning.

Verse 5

Kuṅkuma and sandal paste anoint His limbs. His arms reach to His knees. A forest garland rests on His neck.

Verse 6

He walks slowly and gracefully. He sways from side to side. His neck sways from side to side. He is a flood of nectar.

Verse 7

His anklets sweetly jangle as He walks. Balarāma dāsa says: Please worship Him.
