Gorā Dayāra Abadhi Guṇa Nidhi
Suha-i-rāga
Lord Gaura is a treasure-house of virtues. His mercy is the highest limit of all mercy. In the towns of Nadīyā and on the Gaṅgā's banks Lord Gaurāṅga enjoys pastimes without stop.
He tries to walk. He has no power to do it. Resting both His arms on two devotees' shoulders, Lord Gauracandra weeps, “Hari! Hari!"
How many flooding rivers of tears of ecstatic love flow from His eyes? The hairs of His body stand erect. The earth has no power to support His fair form.
Surrounded by His associates, He turns and dances. “Hari! Haribol!", He calls. His arms clinging to the shoulders of two dear friends, He staggers as He walks.
He makes the whole world agitated with ecstatic spiritual love. That is why He bears the name Patita-pāvana (the purifier of the fallen). Hearing His glories, Paramānanda has faith in Him alone. No other kind of faith rests in Paramānanda's heart.
