Bhubana Mano Corā Gokula Pati Gorā
Basanta-rāga or Toḍi-rāga
Gokula's master, who steals the hearts of all the worlds, has come as Lord Gaura. At that auspicious moment, of what use was the ordinary moon in the sky? Gazing at her son's face. Śacī became filled with bliss. How can anyone describe what she felt?
Multitude after multitude of Nadīyā-pura's women came carrying plates with gifts. Elegantly dressed and decorated demigoddesses mingled with the human women. Once gazing at the newborn infant boy, no one remained peaceful.
Śrī Sītā-devī came to the maternity room. Gazing at the infant, she became blissful at heart. Mālinī and many other ladies also came. They floated in bliss. What auspicious ritual did they not perform?
How many cowherd ladies came? Hundreds and hundreds of cowherd men came bringing gifts of yogurt. Everyone was beautifully dressed and decorated. Their hearts were overcome with bliss. They filled the courtyard of the house with their gifts of yogurt.
Some played the karatālas and others laughed and danced. Disguised as cowherd men, the demigods watched all of this. In the courtyard the people encouraged each other to dance. Who did not dance? There were loud calls of "Jaya! Jaya!"
Instrumental music playeed. There was great bliss. Nothing could be compared to it. Jagannātha Miśra house became like Mahārāja Nanda's palace. Narahari says: Is anything like this festival of the Lord's birth? I cannot think of anything like it.
