Caitanya Nitā I Āre Dona Bhā I Nāce Re

khola karatāla pañcama rasāla
tā thaiyā tā thaiyā bāje re

Ah! The two brothers, Gaura and Nitāi, dance! Sweetly playing the fifth note, the kholas and karatālas declare, “Tā thaiyā! Tā thaiyā!”
soṇāra kamala kare ṭalamala

uttama adhama dīna-hīna jana

pahuṁ kṛpā-laba cāya re

Lord Gaura’s pastimes manifest wonderful opulence and wonderful sweetness. Yadunātha dāsa now floats in an ocean of spiritual bliss and love. Yadunātha yearns to attain a small particle of the Lord’s mercy.
