Gaurāṅga Bihara I Parama Ānande

Filled with bliss, Lord Gaurāṅga enjoys many pastimes. Accompanied by Nityānanda and a host of devotees, on the Gaṅgā's banks He chants, "Hari! Hari!"

His fair form defeats the new topaz. Playing in waves of spiritual love, He dives and surfaces. A peerless garland of new flowers moves to and fro on His neck. He leans against Narahari's body.

Grasping dearmost Gadādhara's left hand, He sings His own glories, the glories of Lord Govinda. His body is overcome with ecstatic love. The hairs of his body stand erect. He roars like a lion.

Another moment He gently smiles. What desire glistens in the glance from the corner of His reddish eyes? He suddenly remembers all His pastimes in Vṛndāvana. Ah, what will Vāsudeva Ghoṣa say now?
