Gajendra Gamane Yāya Sa Karuṇa Diṭhe Cāya
Maṅgala-rāga
He ealks like the graceful king of elephants. His glances are full of mercy. The earth trembles with His footsteps. His walking defeats the grace of a wild lion. Hearing of Him, the blapshemers are bewildered with fear.
He is a great avadhūta. He is an ocean of mercy. His heart overcome with ecstatic spiritual love, He enjoys pastimes of Hari-saṅkīrtana. He is the purifier of the fallen. He is the friend of the poor.
As He walks He roars. He makes the moving and unmoving beings and even the demigods float in the nectar of ecstatic spiritual love. With a host of companions He enjoys many blissful pastimes. No one understands how He does what He does.
He reclines on Lord Śeṣa. He is Lord Saṅkarṣaṇa. He is the origin of the avatāras. He is Lord Nārāyaṇa. From Him the aṁśā and kalā avatāras come. He is an ocean of mercy. He is the giver of devotional service. He brings auspiciousness to all the worlds. He is Lord Balarāma, the son of Rohiṇī.
He is the abode of playful pastimes and graceful handsomeness. The Agama and Nigama scriptures sing of His glories. His form is more enchanting than Kāmadeva. Accepting the garments of a penniless sannyāsī, He wanders from place to place. He delivers the three worlds.
In Vraja His intellugence, joking, and playful pastimes are all sublime. Balarāma dāsa says: If you fix your heart on attaining Him, your desires will be all fuflilled. Therefore please worship, worship His glorious feet.
