gajendra-gamane yāya sa-karuṇa diṭhe cāya pada-bhare mahī ṭalamala matta-siṁha gati jini kampamāna medinī pāṣaṇḍi-gaṇa śuniya bikala
Translation

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.

2 Refrain
āyata abadhūta karuṇāra sindhu preme gara gara mana kare hari-saṅkīrtana patita-pābana dīna-bandhu
Translation

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.

huṅkāra kariyā cale acala sacala naḍe preme bhāse amara-samāje sahacara-gaṇa saṅge bibidhe khelana raṅge alakhite kare saba kāje
Translation

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.

śeṣa-śāyī saṅkarṣaṇa abatāri nārāyaṇa yāra aṁśa-kalāya gaṇana kṛpā-sindhu bhakti-dātā jagatera hita-kartā se-i rāma rohiṇī-nandana
Translation

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.

yāra līlā lābaṇya dhāma āgama nigama gāna yāra rūpa madana-mohana ebe akiñcana beśe phire pahuṁ deśe deśe uddhāra karena tri-bhubana
Translation

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.

brajera baidagadhi sāra yata yata līlā āra pā-i-bāre yadi ṭhāke mana balarāma dāse kaya manoratha siddhi haya bhaja bhaja śrīpāda caraṇa
Translation

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.
