Translation

Verse 1

How shall I say Lord Gaurāṅga is like a touchstone? By its touch a touchstone turns objects into mere gold. But by His touch My glorious Lord Gaurāṅga creates how many priceless jewels, jewels that even sing and dance?

Verse 2

Śacī's son is Lord Kṛṣṇa Himself, Lord Kṛṣṇa who wears a forest garland. Nothing in the three worlds is equal to Him. My Lord Gaura is the Deity I worship with my every breath.

Verse 3

The moon of Lord Gaurāṅga is supremely glorious. The ordinary moon of this world is marked with spots. No moon of this world is equal to Lord Gaurāṅga. When the spotless moon of Lord Gaurāṅga rises in Nadīyā, blinding darkness flees from every heart.

Verse 4

Neither the surabhi cow nor the kalpa-taru tree are equal to Lord Gaurāṅga. Before obtaining a boon from them one must first place a request. Even without receiving any request, Lord Gaurāṅga gives His gifts to all the worlds. Indeed, it is He who begs everyone please to accept His gift of ecstatic spiritual love.

Verse 5

Only Lord Gaurāṅga Himself is equal to Lord Gaurāṅga. Reflect on this and you will see that it is true. In Paramānanda's heart this prayer resides: When will Lord Gaurāṅga give His mercy to me?
