Bhajan | Sekhara Dasa
Verse 1
nācata nagare nāgara gaura heri mūrati madana bhora
yaichana taḍita rucira aṅga, bhaṅga naṭa-bara śobhinī
kāma kāmāna bhurūka jora karatahi keli śrabaṅa ora
gīma śohata ratana padaka jaga-jana-mano-mohinī
Verse 2
kusume racita cikura-puṅja caudike bhramarā bhramarī guṅja
pīṭhe dolaye loṭana tāra śrabaṅe kuṅḍala dolanī
māhiṣa dadhi rucira bāsa hṛdaya jāgata rāsa bilāsa
jitala pulaka kadamba-koraka anukhaṅa mana lolanī
Verse 3
gaja-pati jini gamana bhānti preme baraṣa dibasa rāti
heri gadādhara roṁyata hāsata gada gada ādha bolanī
aruṅa nayana caraṅa kaṅja tahi nakha-maṅi maṅjīra raṅja
naṭana bājana jhanara jhanana śuni muni-mana-lolanī
Verse 4
badana caudike śohata ghāma kanaka-kamale mukutā-dāma
amiyā jharaṅa madhura bacana kata rasa parakāśanī
mahā-bhāba rūpa rasika rāja śohata sakala bhakata mājha
pirīti mūrati aichana carita rāya-śekhara bhāṣini
Verse 1
Graceful Lord Gaura dances in the city. Gazing at His form, Kāmadeva is overcome with wonder. His limbs glisten like lightning. He is the best of dancers, His form splendid and graceful. His splendid eyebrows are like Kāmadeva's bow. His ears are filled with playful grace. On His neck rests a glistening jewel locket. His form enchants the hearts of all the worlds.
Verse 2
His hair is decorated with flowers. Around Him on four sides the black bees hum. As His body sways to and fro, the earrings on His ears move. His garments are splendid like buffalo-yogurt. Thoughts of Lord Kṛṣṇa's rāsa-dance pastime awaken in His heart. Standing erect, the hairs of His body defeat the kadamba filaments. At every moment His heart is overcome with ecstasy.
Verse 3
His garceful motions defeat the king of elephants. Day and night He showers a monsoon of ecstatic spiritual love. Glancing at Gadādhara, He weeps. Then He laughs. Then He speaks brojken words in a choked voice. His eyes are reddish. His feet are like lotus flowers. His toenails are like jewels. His anklets jangle. Hearing the tumult of his kīrtana and watching Him dance, the sages yearn in their heart to attain His company.
Verse 4
The four sides of His face glistening with perspiration, He is like a golden lotus decorated with strings of pearls. How many streams of nectar flows from His sweet words? He is mahā-bhāva ecstatic love personified. He is the king of rasikas. In the midst of a host of devotees He shines with great splendor. He is pure spiritual love personified. Śekhara Rāya thus describes His pastimes.
