prema bali nāma ati adbhuta

śruta haite kāra kāṇe

śrī-kṛṣṇa-nāmera swa-guṇa mahimā

prabeśa ha-ite kāra

kebā jānā-ite rādhāra mādhurya

rasa yaśa camatkāra

bhāba anubhaba sāttwika bikāra

gocara chila bā kāra

braje ye bilāsa rāsa mahā-rāsa

prema parakīya tattwa

gopīra mahimā byabhicārī sīmā

kāra abagati chila eta

prakāśe jagata bhari

Verse 3

uttama adhama kichu nā bāchila

yāciyā dileka kola

kahe premānanda emana gaurāṅga

antare dhariyā dola

Translation

Verse 1

Without Śacī's son, whose ears would have heard the great wonder of the holy names chanted with ecstatic love? Who would have known the glories of Lord Kṛṣṇa's holy names? Who would have entered into the great sweetness present in Vṛndāvana? Who would have understood the wonder of Śrī Rādhā's fame, nectar, and sweetness? Who would have understood the bhava, anubhava, and sattvika-bhava ecstasies? Who would have understood the pastimes in Vraja, the rāsa and mahā-rāsa pastimes, the nature of prema, parakīya-rasa, the glories of the gopīs, and the highest limit of the vyabhicāri-bhāvas?

Verse 2

The Kali-yuga is fortunate and glorious, for Lord Caitanya and Lord Nityānanda mercifully revealed in the Kali-yuga the great ecstasy of pure spiritual love, an ecstasy of love even the demigod Brahmā finds beyond His reach.

Verse 3

Without considering who was exalted and who degraded, Lord Caitanya and Lord Nityānanda begged everyone to accept this gift of ecstatic spiritual love. They embraced everyone. Premānanda says: In your hearts please embrace Lord Gaurāṅga.
