Rāḍha Deśe Nāma Ekacakra Grāma

In the county named Rāḍha-deśa, in the village of Ekacakra, on the śukla-tryodaśī of the auspicious month of Māgha, as the son of Hāḍāi Paṇḍita, in this world Lord Balarāma took birth.

Joyful Hāḍāi Paṇḍita celebrated the festival of his son’s birth. The circle of the earth was overcome. No one could contain his bliss.

Śāntipura’s Lord Advaita became joyful at heart. In His heart He knew that Lord Kṛṣṇa’s elder brother Lord Balarāma had taken birth.

Every Vaiṣṇava heart became joyful. Every heart floated in an ocean of bliss. Lord Balarāma would soon deliver the poor sinners. Thus speaks poor Kṛṣṇa dāsa.
