Sahasra Sahasra Kane Loliya Loliya Pade Mukhe

sahasra sahasra kāṇe loliyā loliyā paḍe mukhe sṛji du-i jihwāya gauracandra guṇa gāya pada-padme mahā-lakṣmī buke
Translation

With thousands upon thousands of forked tongues moving in thousands upon thousands of mouths, Lord Ananta-Nityananda sings the glories of Gauracandra; Maha-Lakshmi holds His lotus feet to her chest.

gaura govinda-gaṇa śuna he rasika-jana biṣṇu mahā-biṣṇu para pahuṁ yāṅra pada-nakha-dyuti parama brahmera sthiti sura-muni prāṇera gaṇa tuhuṁ
Translation

Listen, O relishers of devotion, to the glories of Gaura-Govinda; He is Vishnu, the great Vishnu, the Supreme Lord, whose very toenail-effulgence is the state of Brahman itself; You are the life of the gods and sages.

antare baraṇa bhinna bāhire gaurāṅga cihna śrī-rādhāra aṅga-kānti rāje śata-dala-kamala hema-karṇikāra mājhe bihara-i cāri dwāri sāje
Translation

Within, His complexion is different, though outwardly He bears the golden hue of Gauranga; the bodily luster of Sri Radha shines in Him; amid a hundred-petaled lotus with a golden whorl, He sports, adorned at its four gates.

goloka baikuṇṭha āra śwetadwīpa nāme sāra ānanda apāra eka nāma bāsudeba saṅkarṣaṇe pradyumnāniruddha-sane cāri dike sāje cāri-dhāma
Translation

Goloka, Vaikuntha and Svetadvipa are His chief abodes; a single name of His is boundless bliss; with Vasudeva, Sankarsana, Pradyumna and Aniruddha, the four abodes are arrayed on the four sides.

kṣīroda-sāgara-jale bhujaṅga-rājera kole yoga-nidrā abalambita līlā tāhe saba abatari śwetadwīpa adhikārī ananta nityānanda pela
Translation

In the waters of the Ocean of Milk, on the lap of the king of serpents, is His pastime of yogic slumber; from there all the incarnations descend; the master of Svetadvipa -- Ananta -- attained the form of Nityananda.

daśa-śata pheṇī-maṇi mukuṭera sājani śweta aṅge dhare nānā jyoti kata kata pāriṣada sanaka sanātanānande deba ṛṣi-gaṇe kare stuti
Translation

With a thousand jeweled hoods adorning His crown, He bears many-colored radiance upon His white body; countless associates, together with Sanaka and Sanatana in bliss, and hosts of gods and sages, offer Him prayers.

yāṅra eka loma-kūpe kateka brahma-swarūpe nānā-mate sṛje saba prajā rāma ādi abatāra aṁśe parakāśa yāṅra se saba brahmāṇḍera yeṅho rājā
Translation

In a single pore of His hair, how many Brahmas, in their own forms, variously create all living beings! Rama and other incarnations are manifest as His partial expansions; He is the ruler of all those universes.

e hena ananta-līlā māyāra kata sṛjilā śrī-rādhāra kaṭākṣa-bāṇa tūṇe brahmāṇḍa upari dhāma śrī-bṛndābana nāma guṇa-gāna kare bṛndābane
Translation

Such are His unlimited pastimes, and so much of this illusory creation has He fashioned; yet He is pierced by the arrows of Sri Radha's sidelong glances. Above all the universes lies an abode named Sri Vrindavana, where His glories are forever sung.

About Sahasra Sahasra Kane Loliya Loliya Pade Mukhe

Composed by Vrndavana Dasa Thakura, the author of Caitanya-Bhagavata, this Bengali hymn is a cosmological glorification that identifies Gauranga and Nityananda with the Vishnu-tattva hierarchy -- Ksirodakasayi Vishnu reclining on Ananta Sesa, the catur-vyuha of Vasudeva-Sankarsana-Pradyumna-Aniruddha, and the transcendent realms Goloka, Vaikuntha and Svetadvipa -- concluding that Sri Vrindavana stands as the supreme abode above all material universes. It reflects Caitanya-Bhagavata's recurring theology equating Nityananda with Ananta Sesa and Gauranga with Krishna Himself in Radha's golden hue.
