TRANSLATION

1) All Glory, all Glory to Sri Gaura-Saraswati,
Of the Line of Bhaktivinode- Pure incarnate Mercy.

2) You revealed Sri Gaura's Service- the world's greatest fortune,
Brilliant as the Perfect Teaching, Perfect Truth-Devotion.

3) On the right side Radha-Syam in one Form- our Lord, Gauranga,
Left is Radha, middle-dark cowherd Himself is shining.

4) Braja-Rasa in Nabadwip, effulgent new form charming,
Magnanimity of Sweetest Love in novel posing.

5) Unity of Loveliness Divine, essence of Braja,
One can find its acme there in Sri Gauranga-Lila.

6) Taking Heart and Halo of Sri Radha beautifully,
He is honoured on the right to show His Rasa's Glory.

7) Divine Play- the Lord hankers for Radha's threefold relish,
Seeing this Her heart blooms, Her Lotus Face with Sweet Smile embellished.

8) In the centre playing His flute, announces the flute-player,
"In the Glory of My Radha, I'm Gauranga-Sundar!

9) My most cherished Form lives in the Temple of Her heart dear,
When you serve Gauranga I shine forth in that Form so clear."

10) Blessed Gaura Mahaprabhu came down in Nadia,
Sent me by His Mercy to my Lord, Master, Saviour.

11) Such an arati: Lord Brahma, Lord Sambhu cannot see,
Such perfection's only for those blessed by Gaura's devotee.

12) Sri Svarupa, Ramananda, Rupa, Sanatana,
Sri Raghu, Jiva and other Masters have seen this vision.

13) Glory! Guru, Gaura, Radha, Beautiful Govinda,
Sing Their Glories, O devotees! ever and forever.
