Nāce Gorā Preme Bhorā
Overcome with ecstatic love, Lord Gaura dances. One moment He chants, "Hari!" The next moment He is rapt in thinking of Vṛndāvana. Moment after moment He accepts the mood of Śrī Rādhā, the queen of Lord Kṛṣṇa's life.
A garment the color of yāvaka is splendidly wrapped about His waist. Sometimes He runs to the Gaṅgā, declaring, "The Yamunā!"
"Thā tha-i! Tā tha-i!", the mṛdaṅgas declare. "Jhana jhana!", the karatālas say. A Gaṅgā of tears flows from Lord Gaura's lotus eyes. A forest-garland swings to and fro on His neck.
Lord Gauracandra is the root of all bliss. He is very kind to the devotees, who have no wealth but Him. Kṛṣṇa dāsa yearns to attain the shade of His lotus feet.
