Niśi Parabhāta Samaye Kiye Pekhaluṁ Rasamyaa Gaura Kiśora
Bibhāsa-rāga, Daśakuśi
At dawn I saw charming Lord Gaura-kiśora. His limbs were anointed with sandal and kuṅkuma. His ornaments glistened.
All night He had performed kīrtana. All night He danced, overcome with ecstatic love. The hairs stood erect on His graceful body. His pastimes were glorious.
His reddish eyes were restless. In an eyeblink ecstatic spiritual love arose within Him. He gently smiled.
Who can describe the truth of Lords Gaura's pastimes? I have no power to understand them. Manamatha says: Lord Gaura, who is very difficult to attain, now enjoys pastimes in Nadīyā. An ocean of mercy, under His feet He now tramples Kali-yuga's sins.
