Śobhāmaya Śacīra Aṅgane
Kāmoda-rāga
In Śacī's beautiful courtyard the brāhmaṇas fill the four directions with the sounds of the Vedas.
What bliss has come now? At this auspicious moment is the ritual of Lord Nimāicandra's's adhivāsa.
Every guest is given a fragrant flower-garland. The effulgence of Lord Gaura's limbs fills the directions.
In the midst of the assembly Lord Gaura, the jewel of the brāhmaṇas, enjoys glorious pastimes. How many millions of Kāmadevas does He not defeat?
Once glancing at Lord Gaura, no one can keep their peaceful composure. No one can even remember who they are.
Every guest at that adhivāsa is given sandal-paste, fragrances, and other gifts. Everyone is satisfied.
After properly performing the adhivāsa ritual, Vallabha Acarya returns to his own home.
No one has the power to say where the bliss of that festival comes to an end. Mother Śacī is glorious. Her actions are all auspicious.
The ladies give gifts. The poets recite auspicious poems.
There are many glorious kinds of dancing, singing, and instrumental music. Who has the power to speak proper metaphors and similes to compare these activities to anything else? No one has that power.
Who does not say, "Excellent! Glorious!"? The whole world is filled with sweet sounds of "Jaya! Jaya!"
Mingling amongst the human beings, the demigods watch Lord Gaura's adhivāsa festival. This Narahari says.
