Kāṇcā Se Soṇāra Tanu Ḍagamagi Aṅga
Dhānaśrī-rāga
His youthful golden form staggers in ecstasy. His moonlike face smiles with waves of nectar.
His forest garland reaches to the ground. His sweet fragrance attracts swarms of bees.
In one set of hands He holds a bow and sharp arrows. Seeing them His enemies tremble in fear.
These arms are dark like dūrvā grass. They have ornaments of claws. His jewel bracelets and anklets glisten.
Below these is another pair of arms. These arms are dark like monsoon clouds. In these hands He plays peerless charming melodies on the flute.
These nails defeat a host of jewel moons. Decorated with jewel ornaments they make Kāmadeva faint in ecstasy.
Below these is another pair of arms. In these hands He holds a daṇḍa and kamaṇḍalu. Into pieces these arms break Kali-yuga’s sins and offenses.
A necklace of jewels and pearls sways to and fro on the mountain of His chest. A Kaustubha jewel sways to and fro on His chest marked with Śrīvatsa.
His sandal-paste-anointed arms rest at the edge of His chest. His navel is deep. His waist is slender like a lion’s waist.
His garments reach to reddish feet. Ananta dāsa worships the nails on His toes.
About Kāṇcā Se Soṇāra Tanu Ḍagamagi Aṅga
A body of raw, unrefined gold, its limbs trembling or swaying (dagamagi) — likely a glimpse of Gauranga's form caught mid-ecstasy, in the motion of kirtan rather than at rest.
