Siṁha Dwāra Tyaji Gorā Samudra Āḍe Dhāya
Suha-i-rāga
Leaving the Siṁha-dvāra gate, Lord Gaura runs toward the ocean. “Where is Kṛṣṇa? Where is Kṛṣṇa?”, He calls.
Surrounding Him on four sides, the devotees sing of Lord Hari’s glories. Lord Gaura has become like a golden mountain rolling about in the dust.
Lord Gaura falls to the ground. His tall body is now unconscious.
He stands. Again He falls. Foam comes from His mouth. Now Vāsudeva Ghoṣa’s heart is ripped into shreds.
