Birale Basiya Ekecwara
.
Staying in a secluded place, the Supreme Personality of Godhead chants the holy names of Lord Krsn a without stop.
He is the crest jewel of all avataras. He is the cintaman i jewel of all sannyasis who have Krsn a as their only property.
Fragrant sandal paste is nothing compared to the fragrance of His body.
Even in their dreams, the most glorious jewel ornaments cannot touch the glory of His body.
He renounced His pastimes with Goddess Laksmi. Now He sits under a tree.
He put aside His flute and forest-garland. Grasping a dan da, now He is a sannyasi.
Turning aside from His pastimes of jests and laughter, now He weeps, tears streaming from the blossoming flowers of His eyes.
Now His only wealth is the treasure of pure spiritual love. Now He stays with penniless devotees, devotees who have Krsn a as their only treasure.
Now He makes a great shower of tears of spiritual love. Vasu says: My life-breath is now split into pieces.
