Jaya Jaya Jaya Maṅgala Raba Phālguna Pūrṇimā Niśi Naba Śobhita

There are auspicious sounds of "Jaya! Jaya! Jaya!" On a beautiful full-moon night of Phālguna from Śacī's womb is manifest the fair form of Lord Gaura, Lord Gaura who is in truth Kṛṣṇa, the delight of Vraja. Infant Lord Gaura is effulgent. He is like kuṅkuma or like an always-shining lightning flash. The sweetness of His moonlike face fills everyone with wonder, breaks into pieces the peaceful composure of everyone.

Sitting on the clouds, the demigods gaze at Lord Gaura. From the sky they shower flowers. The hairs of their bodies stand erect in ecstasy. How many desires come from the demigods' hearts, desires manifested as restless, beautiful words? How much delightful effulgence flows from the demigods' eyes, effulgence pretending to be tears?

The Kinnaras sweetly sing. "Dhādhiki dhikitā dhik dhik dhik kaṭatak!", the mṛdaṅgas sweetly say. The celestial dancing-girls dance. Many glorious dramas are enacted in their dances. "Kathai thai thai ti a-i a-i!", the drums declare.

The ten directions are effulgent and clear. Fragrant breezes blow from the Malaya Hills. The cuckoos chant “Kuhu!" How many glorious signs of spring, the king of seasons, are manifest? The heavenly Gaṅgā sweetly flows. Nadīyā is overcome with bliss. The wonder who has appeared in Jagannātha Miśra's home makes Narahari's heart wild with bliss.
