Pulake Balita Ati Lalita Hema Tanu
Bibhāsa-rāga
The hairs of His graceful golden body stand erect. Moment after moment He is overcome with ecstatic spiritual love. How many feelings of ecstatic spiritual love does he feel? Oceans of spiritual love flow as tears from His eyes.
Glory glory to the Supreme Lord who descending to this place brings auspiciousness to the whole world. He stops the raging wild elephant of Kali-yuga. He fills the worlds with the sound of Lord Hari's holy names.
He is plunged in the nectar of ecstatic love for a person that is actually His own self. One moment He laughs. The next moment He weeps. Overcome He speaks broken words in a choked voice. Overcome with ecstasy He does not know who He isd and who others are. (Overcome with compassion) He embraces the fallen souls.
He plunges the demigods and demons in the nectar of ecstatic spiritual love. He does not know if it is day or night. Tasting a drop of that nectar Govinda dāsa weeps. Now he knows for certain that Lord Gaura is Śrī Kṛṣṇa Himself Śrī Kṛṣṇa the beloved of the goddess of fortune.
