Āhā Mari Mari Sura Nārī Gaṇa Nadīyā Cāndera Bibāha Dekhi
Tuḍī-rāga
Ah! Ah! Ah! Gazing at Lord Gaura's wedding, the demigoddesses find them selves swimming in an ocean of glory. With great pleasure their thirsty eyes gaze at Lord Gaura, who is like a moon shining in Nadīyā.
One demigoddess says to another: "Look! Overcome with bliss, Sanātana Miśra cannot keep his heart peaceful. How eagerly does he offer his daughter in marriage to Lord Kṛṣṇa? How many variegated presents does he give as her dowry?"
Another demigoddess says: "He makes his daughter sit at the left of his son-in-law. In his heart he thinks of his own good fortune. He performs the homa, but that is not where his thoughts lie. He is rapt in gazing at Lord Gaura's moonlike face."
Another demigoddess says: "Look! As the smoke rises from the wedding ceremony, Sanātana Miśra's wife is overcome with bliss. On how many pretexts does she gaze at Narahari's master? Filled with bliss, she thinks her feet no longer touch the ground."
