Translation

Verse 1

Why does He whose handsomeness defeats millions of Kāmadevas, who is the crest jewel of the wise and playful, who enjoys blissful pastimes in Goloka, who is Nanda’s son, and who is the gopīs’ life-treasure now roll about on the ground?

Verse 2

Alas! Alas! A javelin is plunged in my chest! Why does the king of the rasikās now weep in the midst of the holy chanting in saṅkīrtana? I do not understand. My heart is filled with pain.

Verse 3

Formerly He enjoyed many pastimes with Rādhārāṇī, Candrāvalī, and how many hundreds of teenage vraja-gopīs? Now the Lord will not even look at a woman’s face. Why did He become a sannyāsī holding a daṇḍa?

Verse 4

Rejecting His garments of a playful lover, the Lord now wanders from place to place. Going from house to house, He visits the fallen people. With the cintāmaṇi jewels of His glorious virtues He delivers the people of the world. Only Balarāma dāsa is left behind.
