"Nitai and Gaurachandra are the two most merciful Lords. They are the best,
the crest-jewels, of all Avatars and the only source of joy.
(kevala-i ananda-kanda) |
(nityananda gaurachandra | kevala-i ananda-kanda) |
(They are the only source of joy.)
(Nityananda and Gaurachandra are the only source of joy.)
bhaja bhaja bhai | chaitanya nitai |
sudrdha visvasa kari' |
visaya chhadiya | se rase majiya |
mukhe bala hari hari [2] |
"O brothers! Serve! Serve Sri Sri Chaitanya-Nitai with firm faith! Leave
aside worldly affairs, merge into this rasa, and chant aloud, 'Hari!
Hari!'
(mukhe bala
gaurahari) |
(visay-katha parihari' | mukhe bala gaurahari) |
(gramya-katha parihari' | mukhe bala gaurahari) |
(Chant aloud, 'Gaurahari'!)
(Give up mundane talk and chant aloud 'Gaurahari'!)
(Give up village talk and chant aloud 'Gaurahari'!)
dekha ore bhai | tribhuvane nai |
emana dayala data |
"O brother! Look! There are no benefactors in the three worlds as merciful as
Them.
(eman dayal ke va achhe) |
(nitaira gaurer mata | eman dayal ke va achhe) |
(mar kheyeo nam | prema yache) |
(eman dayal ke va achhe) |
(Is there anyone else as merciful?)
(Is there anyone as as merciful as Nitai and Gaura?)
(They are beaten and yet bestow divine love.)
(Is there anyone as merciful?)

pasu pakhi jhure | pasana vidare |
suni yara guna-gatha [3] |
"Hearing of Their glory, birds and animals cry and stones melt.
samsare majiya | rahili padiya |
se pade nahila asa |
apana karama | bhunyaya samana |
kahaye lochana dasa [4] |
"Fallen and immersed in samsara, I never aspired for Their feet. Now Yamaraj
subjects me to my karma," says Lochan Das.
