Yadi Gaura nā ho’to

- jagate jānāta ke?

If Śrī Gaura had not come, what would have happened? How would we have maintained our lives? Who would have revealed to the world Śrī Rādhā’s glory and the extremes of Her ecstatic divine love?

- gāo punaḥ punaḥ gaurāṅgera guṇa
- sarala kariyā mana
- e bhava-sāgare emana dayāla
- nā dekhiye eka-jana

Sing Gaurāṅga’s glories again and again, keeping your heart simple. In the ocean of this material world, no one has ever seen anyone so merciful.

- (āmi) gaurāṅga baliyā nā genu galiyā
- kemane dharinu de
- vāsura-hiyā pāṣāṇa diyā
- (vidhi) kemane gaḍiyāchhe

I chant ‘Gaurāṅga’, but have not melted (with love). How have I maintained this body? How has Providence made Vāsu a stone rather than a heart?
