Translation

Verse 1

When the moon of Lord Gaura rose in the sky of Nadiya, everyone floated in bliss. Embarrassed, the ordinary moon blackened his face with soot and pretended he was being eclipsed.

Verse 2

The women loudly chanted "Jaya! Jaya!" In home after home bells and conchshells were sounded. Damama trumpets, turi bugles, kamsi cymbals, sanais, and flutes all sounded. Dagada, bheuda, bheri, and jayadhaka drums were beaten.

Verse 3

Jagannatha Misra's heart was plunged in bliss. Saci's happiness had no end. Gazing at Nimai's face, she forgot the sufferings of giving birth. With unblinking eyes she gazed at her son's face.

Verse 4

In ther darkness of the eclipse no one could clearly see the nature of other persons. Disguised as ordinary men and women the demigods and goddesses came to Nadiya and gazed at Lord Gaura's handsome form.

Verse 5

Gazing at hisa son's face, Jagannatha Misra became joyful. He gave charity to all the poor. When the moon of Lord Gaura thus rose the world became filled with bliss. Vasudeva Ghosa says: Then the people of the world became truly fortunate. They attained the results of many past pious deeds.
