Emana Gaurāṅga Binā Nāhi Āra
Dhānaśī-rāga
No one is like Lord Gaurāṅga! Will there ever be an avatāra like Him, an avatāra that preached ecstatic spiritual love as He did?
He did not kill the fallen wicked-hearted blasphemers. Instead he went from house to house visiting them. He begged them to chant Lord Kṛṣṇa's holy names. He gave them the holy names and purified their hearts.
To the world He freely gave the rare gift of ecstatic spiritual love, a gift even Brahmā and Śiva attain only with difficulty. Attaining that gift, the poor people of this world dance and clap their hands.
They laugh and weep. Overcome with ecstatic spiritual love, they roll on the ground. The hairs of the bodies stand erect. The brāhmaṇas and caṇḍālas hugged. There was great bliss.
Loudly they called out the holy names. They played the khola and karatālas. They sang, ran, and danced in a circle. Seeing all this, peaceful composure became afraid, fled, and knocked on people's doors.
An auspicious tumult arose. The three worlds were filled with bliss. Premānanda says: Alas! Love for Lord Gaurāṅga did not take birth in me.
