Bhaba Sāgara Bara Duratara Duragraha
bhaba sāgara bara duratara duragraha
From Songs of the Gaudiya Vaishnava Acaryas by Narahari dāsa.
Six songs of gaura-candrika under the signature Ghanasyama dasa, several describing the astronomical imagery common to this genre — the moon of Navadvipa rising, eclipsed and then freed, a traditional way of describing Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's appearance on Phalguna Purnima, a night of a real lunar eclipse in the traditional dating of His birth.

bhaba sāgara bara duratara duragraha
āju pūrṇimā sāja samaye rāhu śaśī garāsi
pūrṇimā-pratipada-sandhi samaya pā-i rāhu garāsala gagana-śaśī
jagannātha miśrera bhabane
ko kahe aparūpa prema-sudhā-nidhi
āhā mari mari dekha āṅkhi bhari
