Lila Kari Jagannatha
Bhajan | Traditional
Verse 1
līlā-kārī jagannātha
calite calite yeye ardha-pathe
ratha thāme akasmāt
Verse 2
surāsura nare ṭānila rathere
tabu nā calaye ratha
parichā pūjāri betra haste kari
gāli pāḍe kata mata
Verse 3
rājāra ādeśe joḍe du-i pāśe
śata śata kari-bara
tane ratha bale tathāpi nā cale
eka pada ratha-bara
Verse 4
tabe gora-rāya ratha pāche yāya
śirete ṭheliche ratha
bāyura begete nimeṣa mājhete
calila yojana śata
Verse 5
jaya gaura bali du-i bāhu tuli
kare rola yātri-gaṇa
duṁhāra prabhābe kari anubhaba
yadura bismita mana
Verse 1
Lord Jagannātha is playful. Moving and moving, His ratha suddenly stops when half the path is traversed.
Verse 2
The demigods, demons, and humans pull, but the ratha does not move. Stick in hand, how many times does the pūjāri fall to the ground?
Verse 3
By the king’s order, hundreds and hundreds of elephants are yoked on both sides. The elephants pull with all their might, but the ratha does not move even a single footstep.
Verse 4
Going behind, Lord Gaura Rāya places His head against the ratha and pushes. The ratha suddenly goes with the speed of the wind. In an eyeblink it seems to have traveled 800 miles.
Verse 5
Raising their arms, the devotees at the Rathayātrā call out, “Jaya Gaura!” Personally seeing the transcendental power of both Lord Jagannātha and Lord Gaura, this Yadu dāsa feels his heart struck with wonder.
