Nija Nāmāmṛta Pahuṁ Matta Anukṣaṇa
Bibhāsa-rāga
At every moment tasting the nectar of the holy name, Lord Gaura has become wild with bliss. Even the least of His dear companions He calls by name.
His eyes are reddened. With a choked voice He speaks half half words. He loudly weeps. He hugs His companions.
Lord Gaurāṅga’s pastimes are filled with wonders. Sometimes He declares, “I am the Lord Himself.”, and other times He declares, “I am the Lord’s servant.”
Sometimes He is like a wild lion. Other times He is stunned in ecstasy. Sometimes He falls to the ground.
Sometimes He beats His chest and loudly loudly laughs. Sometimes He cries out. Sometimes He speaks broken words in a choked voice.
Sometimes He manifests Lord Kṛṣṇa’s dark and handsome three-fold-bending form. Kānu dāsa says: Who understands these pastimes of the Lord?
