Kibā Khola Karatāla Bāje
Naṭī—rāga
The kholas and karatālas sound. The Lord’s associates are on all four sides.
Now the devotees sing sweet songs of the Lord’s pastimes. Hearing these songs even the stones and dry wood melt in ecstasy.
Handsome Lord Gaura dances in the dancing-circle. What ecstasy fills Him? Who can know?
The hairs of His body stand erect. His body glistens like gold.
From His eyes flow a flooding Gaṅgā of tears.
Raising His arms, He roars, “Hari! Hari!”
Seeing a fallen sinner, He hugs him again and again.
To person after person He gives the treasure of ecstatic spiritual love. Only to poor Narahari He does not give that treasure.
