Nācaye Caitanya Cintāmaṇi
Paṭha-mañjarī-rāga
Cintāmaṇi-jewel Lord Gaura dances. A flood of tears streams down His chest, tears like a string of pearls.
Overcome with ecstatic spiritual love, He speaks broken words in a choked voice. He rolls on the ground. He jumps and roars.
Raising His arms, He dances in a circle. He makes the fallen sinners chant, “Hari! Hari!”
At every moment He does kīrtana or japa of Lord Hari’s holy names. No one has the power to understand His symptoms of rare ecstatic spiritual love.
The people of this world sing songs praising the shoreless ocean of His transcendental glories. Rāmānanda Vasu yearns to attain the treasure of ecstatic spiritual love He gives away.
