Snāna Kari Śrī Gaurāṅga Basilena Dibyāsane
-rāga
The bathing completed Lord Gaurāṅga sits on the Deity-throne. At His right and left are Lord Nityānanda and Gadādhara. Sitting before Him Lord Advaita places an offering of sweet-rice. Running and running Śrīvāsa brings offerings.
Ah! Ah! Ah! How great is the bliss of the abhiṣeka ceremony! With Nitāi and Gadādhara at His sides Lord Gaura accepts the offerings. The devotees joyfully watch.
After eating all the offerings Lord Gaura rinses His mouth. Lord Advaita places betelnuts in His mouth. Standing at the side Narahari gazes at the forms of the three Lords. With a cāmara he happily fans Their bodies.
Offering a tulasī-leaf anointed with sandal paste at Lord Gaura's feet Lord Advaita Acārya says “Kṛṣṇāya namaḥ (I bow down before Lord Kṛṣṇa). Govinda Ghoṣa says: There is a great tumult of the chanting of Lord Kṛṣṇa's holy names.
