Translation

Verse 1

The circle of His face is a blossoming golden lotus. His eyes are restless khaṇjana birds. His broad forehead is anointed with the tilaka that is Lord Hari's temple. He carries a waterpot. A kaupīna is tied about His waist.

Verse 2

Glory, glory to Lord Gauracandra, the destroyer of sins, the purifier of the fallen, the savior of the worlds, the Lord who revealed the saṇkīrtana movement of chanting the holy names!

Verse 3

His glorious arms reach to His knees. A mālatī garland swings to and fro from His neck. His tall form enchants the world's hearts. Like kadamba filaments, the hairs of His body stand erect in ecstasy.

Verse 4

The blossoming flowers of the soles of His feet are red like the rising sun. He is not different from Advaita and Nityānanda. The nectar at the lotus flowers of His feet makes Vijayānanda dāsa float in an ocean of bliss.
