Aparūpa Hema Maṇi Bhāsa

He shines like a wonderful topaz. He lights up all the worlds.

In the four directions are the glistening stars of His personal associates. He throws far awaye the blinding darkness of Kali-yuga.

Lord Gaura, the eternally young king of the brāhmaṇas, is manifest in Navadvīpa.

The moving and unmoving beings are all in ecstasy, the hairs of their bodies now standing erect. They have become wild, intoxicated by tasting the sweet nectar of pure spiritual love.

Some weep like candrakānta jewels. Some laugh like blossoming lotus flowers.

Govinda dāsa has become like a cakora bird. Tasting a single ray of the effulgent glories of these pastimes, he is overcome.
