    • vimala hemajin    tanu anupama re!
    • tāhe śobhe nānā phuladāma
    • kadamba keśara    jini ektī pulaka re!
    • tāra mājhe bindu bindu ghāma
    • His peerless form defeats the purest gold. His form is decorated with a garland of many kinds of flowers. His form is covered with hairs standing erect, hairs that defeat the filaments of kadamba flowers. His form is covered with drop after drop of perspirations.

    • jini’ madamatta hāti    gamana manthara ati
    • bhāvāveśe ḍhuli ḍhuli jāya
    • aruṇa-vasana chhobi    jini prabhātera robi
    • gorā-aṅge laharī khelāya
    • His slow walking defeats the walking of intoxicated elephants. Overcome with ecstatic love, He staggers and staggers as He walks. His saffron garments defeat the beautiful colour of the rising sun. His fair limbs play in the waves of spiritual pastimes.

    • chalite nā pāre gorā-    chā̐d go̐sāi re
    • bolite nā pāre ādha-bola
    • bhāvete āveśa hoiyā    hari hari bolāiyā
    • āchaṇḍāle dhari’ deya kola
    • Overcome, Lord Gauracandra has no power to walk. Now He has no power to speak. Half words are all He speaks. Overcome with ecstatic love, He chants, “Hari! Hari!” Everyone, even the lowest outcaste, He embraces in His arms.

    • e sukha-sampada-kāle    gorā nā bhajinu hele
    • heno pade nā korinu āśa
    • śrī-kṛṣṇa-chaitanya-chandra ṭhākura śrī-nityānanda
    • guṇa gāya vṛndāvana dāsa
    • Alas! At that blissful fortunate time I did not worship Lord Gaura. I did not yearn to attain His feet. In this way Vṛndāvan das sings the glories of Lord Caitanyachandra and Lord Nityānanda.
