anupama gora abatāra nabadhā bhakati rase bistāriyā saba deśe nā karila jātira bicāra
Translation

The avatāra Lord Gaura is without equal. In every country He distributed the nectar of the nine-fold activities of devotional service. He did not consider anyone's caste or birth.

emana ṭhākura bhaja dura kara saba kāja chāḍa saba micha abhilāṣa caitanyacāndera guṇe ālo kare tri-bhubane anāyāse haila parakāśa
Translation

Please worship Lord Gaura. Run far from all worldly duties. Renounce all false desires. The glistening light from the moon of Lord Caitanya has filled the three worlds. Now everything is easily seen.

caitanya kalpa-taru akhila-jībera guru golaka baibhaba saba saṅge jībere malina dekhi ha-iyā karuṇā āṅkhi hari-nāma bilā-ila raṅge
Translation

Lord Caitanya is a kalpa-taru tree. He is the master of all living entities. He brought glory to this world. With compassionate eyes He saw how the souls in this world had become defiled. So He happily gave them the gift of Lord Kṛṣṇa's holy names.

yajṇa japa dhyāna pūjā anya yuge yata pūjā sādhileka ati baḍa dukhe e-i ye karila ghore nare yata pāpa kare nāma laiñā tari yāya sukhe
Translation

Yajṇa, japa, meditation and Deity-worship are the methods of worship for other yugas. In this yuga they are very difficult to perform. In this horrible Kali-yuga the people are sinners. Still, by chanting the holy names they are easily delivered.

karuṇā bigraha sāra tulanā ki diba āra patitera pūrā-ila āśa kichu nā bujhiyā citte kāndiyā kāndiyā pathe guṇa gāya narahari dāsa
Translation

Lord Caitanya is mercy personified. Who is His equal? The fallen souls' desires He fulfills. In my heart I do not know anything. Weeping and weeping, Narahari dāsa sings Lord Gaura's glories.
