Sacinandana Vijayastakam
Bhajan | Vishvanatha Cakravarti Thakura
Verse 1
gadādhara yadā paraḥ sa kila kaścanālokito
mayā śrita-gayādhvanā madhura-mūrtir ekas tadā
navāmbuda iva bruvan dhṛta-navāmbudo netrayor
luṭhan bhuvi niruddha-vāg vijayate śacī-nandanaḥ
Verse 2
alakṣita-carīḿ harīty udita-mātrataḥ kiḿ daśām
asāv atibudhāgraṇīr atula-kampa-sampādikām
vrajann ahaha modate na punar atra śāstreṣv iti
sva-śiṣya-gaṇa-veṣṭito vijayate śacī-nandanaḥ
Verse 3
hā hā kim idam ucyate paṭha paṭhātra kṛṣṇaḿ muhur
vinā tam iha sādhutāḿ dadhati kiḿ budhā dhātavaḥ
prasiddha iha varṇa-sańghaṭita-samyag-āmnāyakaḥ
sva-nāmni yad iti bruvan vijayate śacī-nandanaḥ
Verse 4
navāmbuja-dale yad-īkṣaṇa-savarṇatā-dīrghate

pratiprakaraṇaḿ prabhur vijayate śacī-nandanaḥ
Verse 5
kva yāni karavāṇi kiḿ kva nu mayā harir labhyatāḿ
tam uddiśatu kaḥ sakhe kathaya kaḥ prapadyeta mām
iti dravati ghūrṇate kalita-bhakta-kaṇṭhaḥ śucā
sa mūrcchayati mātaraḿ vijayate śacī-nandanaḥ
Verse 6
smarārbuda-durāpayā tanu-ruci-cchaṭā-cchāyayā
tamaḥ kali-tamaḥ-kṛtaḿ nikhilam eva nirmūlayan
nṛṇāḿ nayana-saubhagaḿ diviṣadāḿ mukhais tārayan
lasann adhidharaḥ prabhur vijayate śacī-nandanaḥ
Verse 7
ayaḿ kanaka-bhūdharaḥ praṇaya-ratnam uccaiḥ kiran
kṛpāturatayā vrajann abhavad atra viśvambharaḥ
yad akṣi patha-sañcarat-suradhunī-pravāhair nijaḿ
paraḿ ca jagad ārdrayan vijayate śacī-nandanaḥ
Verse 8
gato'smi madhurāḿ mama priyatamā viśākhā sakhī
gatā nu bata kiḿ daśāḿ vada kathaḿ nu vedāni tām
itīva sa nijecchayā vraja-pateḥ sutaḥ prāpitas

Verse 9
idaḿ paṭhati yo'ṣṭakaḿ guṇa-nidhe śacīnandana
prabho tava padāmbuje sphurad-amanda-viśrambhavān
tam ujjvala-matiḿ nija-praṇaya-rūpa-vargānugaḿ
vidhāya nija-dhāmani drutam urīkuruṣva svayam
Verse 1
O Gadadhara! When I, having taken the road to Gaya, once beheld that singular, sweetly formed person -- speaking like a fresh raincloud, His eyes brimming like fresh clouds, rolling on the ground, His voice choked -- all glories to that son of Saci!
Verse 2
"What is this condition that arises the instant the name of Hari is spoken, unseen by ordinary eyes?" -- even this foremost of the learned, trembling beyond compare as He walked along, no longer delighted, alas, in the scriptures as before -- surrounded by His own students, all glories to that son of Saci!
Verse 3
"Alas, alas, what is being said? Read, only read -- chant Krishna again and again! Without Him, what goodness can mere combinations of letters bring to the wise?" -- He who was famed here as a master of grammar now speaks this way even about His own name, teaching His students -- all glories to that son of Saci!
Verse 4
"That state, whose long dark eyes resemble the petals of a fresh lotus, should always be held in the heart and attained at once" -- smiling, the Lord teaches His astonished students this way in every lesson -- all glories to that son of Saci!
Verse 5
"Where shall I go, what shall I do, where indeed shall I find Hari? Who will point Him out to me, friend? Tell me, who will accept me?" -- so melting, He reels about, His throat choked with grief and devotion, causing His mother to faint -- all glories to that son of Saci!
Verse 6
With the radiance of His body, unattainable even by millions of Cupids, He uproots entirely the darkness born of Kali; granting good fortune to the eyes of men and delivering even the celestials through their own praises, the shining, supreme Lord -- all glories to that son of Saci!
Verse 7
This golden mountain, radiating aloft the jewel of love, moving about out of overflowing compassion, became here the sustainer of the universe -- drenching Himself and the whole world beyond with the Ganges-like streams flowing from His eyes -- all glories to that son of Saci!
Verse 8
"I have gone away to Mathura; alas, what state has my beloved friend Visakha now come to? Tell me, how shall I learn of her?" -- thus, by His own sweet will, the son of the king of Vraja led Him to relish this very mellow of separation -- all glories to that son of Saci!
Verse 9
O Sacinandana, O reservoir of all qualities, my Lord! Whoever recites this astaka with unwavering trust in Your lotus feet -- please Yourself quickly accept him, granting him a brilliant mind devoted to the company of Your own loving associates, and bring him swiftly to Your own abode.
