Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Gorā Śacīra Dulāla
Suha-i-rāga
In His previous birth Śacī's son, fair Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya, was a cowherd boy in Gokula.
Some say He was Jānakī's beloved, Lord Rāmacandra. Others say He was Nanda's son, dark like a monsoon cloud.
In ancient times He was dark, but now, overcome by personally experiencing the love the gopīs feel for Him, He became fair like Śrī Rādhārāṇī.
Tears flowed from His reddened eyes. He could not find the limit of that ecstatic love. He renounced everything.
He renounced everything, accepted sannyāsa, and wandered from place to place. He tried to understand Rādhā's love, but He could not.
Govinda dāsa says: It was in the company of Svarūpa Dāmodara and Rāmānanda Rāya that Lord Caitanya, overwhelmed, tasted the nectar of ecstatic love for Śrī Śrī Kiśorī-Kiśora, the teenage divine couple.
About Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Gorā Śacīra Dulāla
The title names Chaitanya directly as "Gora, Saci's darling" — golden-complexioned and cherished as her own child. A simple, affectionate opening invocation pairing His most famous epithet with His most intimate family bond, typical of how gaura-candrika verses introduce Him by name before turning to praise.
