2 Refrain
pekhalu gauracandra anupāma yācata yāka mūla nāhi tri-bhubane aiche ratana hari-nāma
Translation

The person I saw is peerless Lord Gauracandra. He does not ask for anything in the three worlds. He wishes only the jewel of Lord Kṛṣṇa's holy name.

yo eka sindhu bindu nāhi yācata para-baśa jalada-sañcāra mānasa abadhi bahuta kalapa-taru ko achu karuṇā pāra
Translation

He does not ask for even a single drop of water from the ocean of material happiness. He will accept only the water that falls from the raincloud of spiritual love. He is a kalpa-taru tree that fulfills the desires of every heart. Who is limitlessly merciful like Him?

yachu caritāmṛta śruti-pathe sañcaru hṛdaya-sarobara-pūra umaḍa-i nayana adhama-maru bhūmahi hoyata pulaka-aṅkura
Translation

The nectar of His pastimes flows along the pathway of the ears enters the lake of the heart exits from the eyes in the form of tears irrigates the dry land of the limbs and makes to sprout the plants of the bodily hairs standing erect in ecstasy.

nāmahi yān3ka tāpa saba meḍhaye tāhe ki cānda-upāma bhaṇa ghanaśyāma dāsa nāhi hoyata koṭi koṭi eku ṭhāma
Translation

His holy name cools the burning sufferings of this world. Shall we compare His holy name to the cooling moon? Ghanaśyāma dasa says: No. His holy name is like millions and millions of moons standing in one place.
