Gaurāṅga Karuṇā Sindhu Abatāra

Lord Gaurāṅga is an ocean of kindness. Descending to this world, on the string of His own virtues He tied the cintāmaṇi jewels of His holy names. That necklace He gave to the people of the world.

Seeing that everyone stood in the darkness of Kali-yuga, He made the moon of His face shine with pleasing light. With His glances He made a great shower of the nectar of love. In this way He destroyed the burning sufferings of the world's people.

In heart after heart He planted the kalpa-taru tree of devotional service. Offering shelter at the soles of His feet, He fulfilled the desires of the souls wandering in this world.

He made the elephant of ecstatic spiritual love pick the devotees up from this world. In this way the Lord enjoyed pastimes. Only Govinda dāsa was left behind. He alone now burns in the poison-flames of repeated birth and death.
