1

yadi gaura nā hoito, tabe ki hoito, kemone dharitām de rādhār mahimā, prema-rasa-sīmā, jagate jānāto ke

अर्थ

If Lord Gaura had not appeared as the yuga-avatāra in this Age of Kali, then what would have become of us? How could we have tolerated living? Who in this universe would have ever learned about the topmost limits of loving mellows that comprise the glory of Śrī Rādhā?

2

madhura vṛndā, vipina-mādhurī, praveśa cāturī sār baraja-yuvati, bhāver bhakati, śakati hoito kār

अर्थ

Who would have had the power to render ecstatic devotional service that follows in the footsteps of the damsels of Vraja? Indeed, the clever expertise of the Vraja-gopīs is a prerequisite for entering the supremely sweet forest of Vṛndā Devī.

3

gāo gāo punaḥ, gaurāṅger guṇa, sarala koriyā mana e bhava-sāgare, emona doyāl, nā dekhiye eka-jana

अर्थ

Oh, please sing again and again of the glorious qualities of Lord Gaurāṅga! Just try to keep your heart simple. Not even one person within this ocean of nescience has ever seen such a magnanimous personality as He.

4

(āmi) gaurāṅga boliyā, nā genu galiyā, kemone dhorinu de vāsur hiyā, pāṣāṇa diyā, kemone gaḍiyāche

अर्थ

Even though I chant the holy name of Lord Gaurāṅga, somehow I still have not melted in ecstasy-how then have I maintained the burden of this body? How has the Creator fashioned this body with a stone in place of Vasu Ghosh's heart?
