Nanda Nandana Candra Candana

nanda-nandana candra-candana gandha nindiha aṅga jalada sundara kambu-kandhara nindi sindhura aṅga
Translation

The fragrance of Krsna's limbs eclipses the fragrance of sandal paste and camphor. Lord Krsna is more glorious than the monsoon clouds. His neck is more graceful than the conchshell. He is more handsome than an ocean of handsomeness.

prema ākula gopa gokula kulaja kāminī kānta kusuma rañjana mañju-bañjula kuñja-mandire santa
Translation

Gokula's cowherd people all love Him. The saintly beautiful gopis dearly love Him. He is decorated with many flowers. He is graceful and charming. He stays in a forest cottage.

gaṇḍa-maṇḍala balita kuṇḍala uḍa cūḍa śikhaṇḍa keli-tāṇḍaba tāla-paṇḍita bāhu-daṇḍita-daṇḍa
Translation

Earrings adorn the circles of His cheeks. He wears a peacock-feather crown. He playfully dances. He is expert in a host of graceful rhythms. His arms are great maces.

kañja-locana kaluṣa-mocana śrabaṇa-rocana bhāṣa amala komala caraṇa-kisalaya nilaya gobinda-dāsa
Translation

His eyes are lotus flowers. He frees the devotees from a host of sins. His words delight the ear. Govinda dasa takes shelter of His soft and splendid flower-bud feet.
