By Srila Narottam Das Thakur
gaurangera duti pada | yara dhana sampada |
se jane bhakati-rasa-sara |
gaurangera madhura-lila | yara karne pravesila |
hrdaya nirmala bhela tara [1] |
"Those whose wealth and treasure is Gauranga's two feet know the excellence
of devotional ecstasy. When Gauranga's sweet pastimes enter one's ears, their
heart becomes pure."
ye gaurangera nama laya | tara haya premodaya |
tare muni yai bali hari |
gauranga-gunete jhure | nitya-lila tare sphure |
se jana bhakati-adhikari [2] |
"When one chants Gauranga's Name, divine love arises in them — I feel
astonished at that. Eternal pastimes are revealed to those who shed tears
hearing Gauranga's qualities — such persons are qualified for devotion."
gaurangera sangi-gane | nitya-siddha kari mane |
se yaya vrajendra-suta-pasa |
sri-gauda-mandala-bhumi | yeba jane chintamani |
tara haya vraja-bhume vasa [3] |
"Those who consider Gauranga's associates to be eternally liberated reach
Krishna, the son of King of Vraja. Those who always think about Sri Gauda
Mandal reside in the land of Vraja."
gaura-prema-rasarnave | se tarange yeba dube |
se radha-madhava-antaranga |
grhe va vanete thake | 'ha gauranga' bale dake |
narottama mage tara sanga [4] |
"Those who dive into the waves in the ocean of divine love for Gaura are
intimate associates of Sri Sri Radha-Madhav. No matter whether one lives in
a house or a forest, if they call out to Gauranga, Narottam begs for their
association."
