Caitanya Nitā I Āre Dona Bhā I Nāce Re
Rāmakeli-rāga
Ah! The two brothers, Gaura and Nitāi, dance! Sweetly playing the fifth note, the kholas and karatālas declare, “Tā thaiyā! Tā thaiyā!”
Gaura and Nitāi are like two golden lotus flowers tossed to an fro in the nectar ocean of ecstatic spiritual love. The waves of that ocean now splash against every person, against the high, thr low, the poor, and the sinner.
The devotees sing a great tumult of songs glorifying Lord Jagannātha. Seeing the devotees, Lord Gaura Rāya dances.
Lord Gaura’s pastimes manifest wonderful opulence and wonderful sweetness. Yadunātha dāsa now floats in an ocean of spiritual bliss and love. Yadunātha yearns to attain a small particle of the Lord’s mercy.
