Beloyāra-rāga
Look! O, look at Śacī's graceful son! His graceful arms reach to His knees.
His steps are like the graceful steps of an intoxicated elephant. A garland of mālatī flowers sways to and fro on His fair body.
His handsome face defeats the autumn moon. A flood of blissful spiritual love flows as tears from His eyes.
At every moment He enjoys pastimes with His associates. “Hari! Hari!", He chants in the town of Navadvīpa.
His fearless lotus feet are the abode of the sweetest nectar. Śaṅkara Ghoṣa says: He delivers all the worlds.
