Nācata Nīke Gaura Bara Ratana
Beloyāra-rāga
The jewel of Lord Gaura dances. He is a kalpa-taru tree that fulfills the devotees’ desires. In the Kali-yuga He churns the ocean of spiritual bliss.
He is overcome with ecstatic spiritual love. The hairs of His body stand erect. He is plunged into a nectar ocean of confidential ecstatic spiritual love.
He is overcome with spiritual love. Tears stream from His eyes. Without stop his mouth chants, “Hari! Hari!”
He falls and faslls to the ground. How He is ovecrome! The graceful, soft, reddish soles of His feet are like flowers.
Brahmā, Śiva, and all the demigods meditate on Him. Alas! Kavi-śekhara cannot taste the sweet nectar of directly serving Him.
