Aparūpa Gorā Naṭa Rāja
Wonderful Lord Gaura is the king of dancers. He, the hero of ecstatic spiritual love, enjoys pastimes in Navadvīpa.
His hair is curly. He is gloriously fragrant. Sandal tilaka adorns His forehead. Seeing Him, saintly women close the door on the palace of shyness.
His graceful arms defeat the trunks of the best of elephants. On His chest lies a double necklace of elephant-pearls, like the stream of the celestial Gaṅgā pouring down over the summit of Mount Sumeru.
His reddish feet have no peer. His fingernails and toenails are like jewels or like glistening moons. His sweet fragrance attracts the buzzing bees of the devotees. Vāsudeva Datta is entranced by Him.
