nadīyāra ati puṇyabatī pati- bratā-gaṇera ki manera gati nija-putre mana nā-i anukṣaṇa bhaṇe śacīsuta-carita rīti
Translation

Where do the thoughts of Nadīyā's saintly ladies run? Not to their own children. At every moment the ladies talk of Śacī's son.

niśi śeṣa dekhi śayana upekhi tila ādha nāhi dairaja bāndhe nānā drabya thāri bhari sāri sāri laiyā cale dite nadīyā-cānde
Translation

Leaving their beds at sunrise, even for a half a sesame seed's worth of time they cannot be peaceful. Gathering many gifts, they hurry to give them to child Gaura, who is like the moon of Nadīyā.

śacīra gṛhete prabeśita cite uthalaye kata kautuka sindhu dekhaye sakale jananīra kole khele basi gorā gokula-indu
Translation

How many oceans of bliss flood their hearts when they enter Śacī's house? Playing on His mother's lap, child Gaura allows them to see Him, Gaura who in truth is Lord Kṛṣṇa Himself, Kṛṣṇa the moon of Gokula.

juḍāya nayāna nārīgaṇa-prāṇa pā-iyā kole kari pāsare dehā kahe narahari āhā mari mari kibā sirajila e hena lehā
Translation

For these ladies child Gaura is like their life and breath. He brings cooling bliss to their eyes. Hugging Him, the ladies forget their own bodies. Narahari says: Ah! Ah! Ah! Someday will I love child Gaura as these great devotees do?
