Listen
13 versionsAll glories, all glories to the dear Son of Jagannātha Miśra and Śacī Devī! All the three worlds offer prayers unto His lotus feet.
In Nīlācala He holds the conchshell, disc, club, and lotus flower, while in the town of Nadīyā He holds a sannyāsī staff and waterpot.
It is said that in olden times, as Lord Rāmachandra, He killed the demon Rāvaṇa. Then later, as Lord Kṛṣṇa, He revealed the splendrously opulent pastimes of Goloka.
Now He has come again as Lord Gaurāṅga, the fair-skinned incarnation, endowed with the ecstatic mood of Śrī Rādhā, and has spread widely the chanting of the holy names 'Hare Kṛṣṇa.'
(Now He has distributed the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra, the great chant for deliverance. He dispenses the holy names to deliver the three worlds. This is how He preached.)
Vāsudeva Ghosh says with folded hands, "He who is Gaura is He who is Kṛṣṇa is He who is Jagannātha."
(It is He who has come. He has come! Oh, from Vraja He has come to Nadīyā. Accepting the mood and luster of Śrī Rādhā, He has come from Vraja to Nadīyā. He has come! Now Lord Govinda, the cowherd boy, has come as Lord Gaurāṅga. He has come!)
