By Srila Vasudev Ghosh
yadi, gaura na ha'ta | tabe ki ha-ita |
kemane dharitam de |
radhara mahima | prema-rasa-sima |
jagate janata ke? [1] |
If Sri Gaura had not come, what would have happened? How would we have
maintained our lives? Who would have revealed to the world Sri Radha's glory
and the extremes of Her ecstatic divine love?
(radhar mahima ke janata)
(gaura yadi na asita radhar mahima ke janata)
Who would have known Sri Radha's glory? If Sri Gaura would not have come, who
would have known Sri Radha's glory?
madhura vrnda- | vipina madhuri |
pravesa chaturi sara |
varaja-yuvati | bhavera bhakati |
sakati ha-ita kara? [2] |
Who would have the great expertise needed to enter into the sweetness of
sweet Vrindavan? Who would have any qualification for the Vraja-gopis'
ecstatic devotion?
gao punah punah | gaurangera guna |
sarala kariya mana |
e bhava-sagare | emana dayala |
na dekhiye eka-jana [3] |
Sing Gauranga's glories again and again, keeping your heart simple. In the
ocean of this material world, no one has ever seen anyone so merciful.
(ami) gauranga baliya | na genu galiya |
kemane dharinu de |
vasura-hiya | pasana diya |
(vidhi) kemane gadiyachhe [4] |
I chant 'Gauranga', but have not melted (with love). How have I maintained
this body? How has Providence made Vasu a stone rather than a heart?
