Dhānaśrī-rāga
The full-moon of His mouth chants japa of the mahā-mantra. Why do His lips, lips that mock the bimba fruits, always tremble?

Sweet with new nectar, Lord Gaura defeats new gold. A flood of tears of ecstatic love streams down His chest.
Nayanānanda says: With a joyful heart will I again see Lord Gaura at Gadādhara's side?
