Eka Dina Mane Pahuṁ Kaila Ācambita

One day Lord Gaura suddenly thought in His heart: “For the benefit of the people there, I will go east."

Taking His closest companions with Him, Lord Gaura would travel east. He who is mother Śacī's very life was restless to travel.

To His mother Lord Gaura said: "Please don't worry. I will always be near you."

To Lakṣmīpriyā smiling Lord Gaura said: "Serve My mother. Be devoted to her."

Accompanied by His close companions, Lord Gaura began His auspicious journey. With a happy heart He traveled.

Brāhmaṇas and saintly persons stayed on the bank of the Padmāvatī. Effulgent spiritual men an women bathed at the ghāṭas there.

When Lord Viśvambhara bathed in the Padmāvatī, everyone became freed of sins by bathing there.

The people who lived in the east Lord Gaura begged to accept the holy name. He gave them the chanting of Lord Kṛṣṇa's holy name.

He did not consider who was pure or impure, or who had acted well or ill. Everyone He carried to farther bank of the river of birth and death.

Lord Gaura built a boat of nāma-saṅkirtana (chanting of the holy names). He personally begged everyone to enter that boat. With that boat He brought them all to the farther bank of the river of birth and death.

Anyone who fled from Him, He caught in His arms. Lord Gaurāṅga, who is Lord Kṛṣṇa Himself, carried those persons to the farther bank of the river of birth and death.

Locana dāsa says: Lord Gaura is the master of all the worlds. Giving His mercy to the people, He made them all pure at heart.
