SRI GAUDIYA GITANJALI : SRIMAN MAHAPRABHU VANDANA
bimala hema-jini, tanu anupama re!
tahe sobhe nana phula-dama
kadamba kesara jini, ekati pulaka re!
tara majhe bindu bindu ghama [1]
His figure defeats pure gold! Various flower garlands adorn Him, highlighting
His beauty, and in His ecstatic thrill, the hairs on His body standing erect
defeat the beautiful stamens of kadamba flowers! His body is covered with
drops of perspiration.
jini’ mada-matta hati, gamana manthara ati,
bhavavese dhuli dhuli yaya
aruna-vasana chhabi, jini prabhatera rabi,
gaura-ange lahari khelaya [2]
His slow, leisurely gait defeats the majestic walk of a mad elephant.
Overcome with divine love, He swoons with ecstasy. The beauty of His crimson
garments defeats the beauty of the morning sun. And there are ecstatic waves
playing within His golden limbs.
chalite na pare gora-, chanda gosani re,
balite na pare adha-bola
bhavete avesa haiya, hari hari bolaiya,
achandale dhari’ deya kola [3]
Lo! Gorachand cannot go any further now! He cannot talk, uttering only some
half-words. Deeply overcome by ecstasy and chanting, ‘Hari! Hari!’ He catches
hold of the lowest of men and embraces them.
e sukha-sampada-kale, gora na bhajinu hele,
hena pade na karinu asa
sri-krsna-chaitanya-chandra, thakura sri-nityananda,
guna gaya vrndavana dasa [4]
It is my great loss that at the time of this happy news I did not worship
Gora, did not aspire for such merciful lotus feet. Thus Vrindavan Das is
singing the glories of Sri Krishna Chaitanya-chandra and Sri Nityananda
Thakur.
