TRANSLATION
1) Glories to the
auspicious forms of Sri Guru and Gaura, and all
glories to Sri Radha-Krsna’s auspicious amorous love.
2) All glories to Their auspicious nisanta-lila
which heralds the end of night and Their auspicious awakening, bringing
auspiciousness to all! Glories to mangala-arati,
which awakens a sphurti of that nisanta-lila
within the devotees’ hearts!
3) While You
sleep, the jivas lie sleeping deep in their
ignorance, but upon Your rising, the whole world awakens! [Meaning, if You manifest in their hearts, then all tattva
and all siddhanta will be revealed to them.]
4) (Prabhu!)
Shower Your kind glance upon the world now. Awaken in
my heart that most auspicious rati.
5) The peacocks, parrots, suka, sari, and cuckoos (by Vrnda-devi’s
order) are singing the reasons for Your auspicious
awakening.
6) Sitting on the branches
of the trees, all the birds sing their supremely sweet morning melodies which
resound throughout the forest. Those sweet, soft, auspicious sounds come and
grace everyone!
7) In the pond, which is
filled with many varieties of flowers, the lotuses sway in the center. The
breezes spread their auspicious aromas in all directions, bringing pure delight
and joy to all.
8) Large cymbals, gongs,
bells, conches, karatalas and auspicious mrdangas play the supreme rasa.
9) Performing mangala arati within the company
of devotees, the unfortunate Kesava (the servants of
Sri Kesava) sings nama-sankirtana.
