Translation

Verse 1

Where do the thoughts of Nadīyā's saintly ladies run? Not to their own children. At every moment the ladies talk of Śacī's son.

Verse 2

Leaving their beds at sunrise, even for a half a sesame seed's worth of time they cannot be peaceful. Gathering many gifts, they hurry to give them to child Gaura, who is like the moon of Nadīyā.

Verse 3

How many oceans of bliss flood their hearts when they enter Śacī's house? Playing on His mother's lap, child Gaura allows them to see Him, Gaura who in truth is Lord Kṛṣṇa Himself, Kṛṣṇa the moon of Gokula.

Verse 4

For these ladies child Gaura is like their life and breath. He brings cooling bliss to their eyes. Hugging Him, the ladies forget their own bodies. Narahari says: Ah! Ah! Ah! Someday will I love child Gaura as these great devotees do?
