Translation

Verse 1

Rādhā's master enjoys very wonderful pastimes. A teenage boy and a teenage girl have joined together in a single form, a form manifest in Navadvīpa.

Verse 2

Rādhā's master is very wonderful. Now He calls Himself by the name Śrī Caitanya. His form is splendid like molten gold. He is very merciful to the poor fallen souls.

Verse 3

Rādhā's master has wonderful companions. His companions include Lord Nitāi, Lord Advaita, Śrīvāsa, Svarūpa Dāmodara, and Rāmānanda Rāya.

Verse 4

O master of Rādhā, how can I describe Your pastimes with Sanātana Gosvāmī, Rūpa Gosvāmī, Raghunātha dāsa Gosvāmī, Lokanātha Gosvāmī, Raghunātha Bhaṭṭa Gosvāmī, and Gopāla Bhaṭṭa Gosvāmī?

Verse 5

O master of Rādhā, meeting with the devotees, You enjoy pastimes of kīrtana. Overcome with ecstatic love, you dance. There is a great tumult. You give everyone the gift of ecstatic spiritual love.

Verse 6

O master of Rādhā, I am very unfortunate. Why was I not present at that time to receive Your gift of ecstatic spiritual love?

Verse 7

O master of Rādhā, I am very unhappy. I was not born at that time. I did not attain the happiness of seeing You.

Verse 8

O master of Rādhā, what do I know to speak about You? Gaurasundara dāsa simply has faith that You will deliver him.
