Jaya Re Jaya Re Gorā Śrī Śacī Nandana
Kedāra-rāga or Maṅgala-rāga
Glory, glory to Śacī's son Gaura, the abode of auspicious dancing! In the bliss of kīrtana Śrīvāsa, Rāmānanda, Mukunda, and Vasudeva Ghoṣa sing His glories.
"Dṛaṁ drāṁ drimi drimi!", the drums declare. The sweet nectar cymbals chime. The conchshells, karatālas, and bells make a sweet sound. The dancers' footsteps mark the beat.
Someone anoints Lord Gaura's limbs with fragrant sandal-paste. Somone offers Him a jasmine garland. The devotees are overcome with ecstatic love, their hearts pierced by flower-arrows of love for Lord Gaura.
Some say that Lord Gaura is Jānakī's beloved Rāma, that He is Rādhā's beloved Kṛṣṇa, handsome like Kāmadeva. In Nayanānanda's heart this thought arises: Lord Gaura is the life's breath of my Gadādhara. I do not know anything more than this.
