TRANSLATION
1) His complexion is the hue of fresh cream tinged with kunkum.
He is the ever-fresh Cupid who shoots arrows of newly blossoming flowers. He
bears newer and newer moods of emotional ecstasies. He is fond of performing
novel dances. He makes ever-new jokes that cause much laughter. His brilliant
luster is like freshly cast gold.—I bow down to Gaura,
the beautiful son of Mother Saci.
2)
He is endowed with ever-fresh love of Godhead. His radiant luster is like the
color of fresh butter. His fresh attire is arranged in ever-new fashions. He
relishes ever-new mellows of love for Krsna. He
shines in nine-fold new ways while executing the nine-fold processes of devotion.
He is permeated with a most auspicious loving nature.—I bow down to Gaura, the beautiful son of Mother Saci.
3)
He is absorbed in devotion to Sri Hari. He maintains
the chanting of the names of Hari. While chanting He
counts the holy names on the fingers of His hands. He is addicted to the name
of Hari. He always has tears of love welling in His
eyes.—I bow down to Gaura, the beautiful son of
Mother Saci.
4)
He is always removing the suffering of material existence for mankind. He is
the goal of life for persons who are dedicated to their supreme interest. He
inspires men to become like honeybees (eager for the honey of Krsna-prema). He removes the burning fever of the material
world.—I bow down to Gaura, the beautiful son of
Mother Saci.
5)
He motivates pure devotion unto Himself. He is most attractive to His beloved
servitors. By His dramatic dancing He exhibits the characteristics of the King
of paramours. He causes the minds of beautiful young village women to dance.—I
bow down to Gaura, the beautiful son of Mother Saci.
6)
He plays karatals as His throat emits sweet melodious
sounds and the vibrant notes of the vina are softly
played. He thus inspires the devotees to perform dramatic dancing that is
infused with aspects of His own devotional service.—I bow down to Gaura, the beautiful son of Mother Saci.
7)
He is accompanied by the sankirtana movement, which
is the religious practice for the age of Kali. He is the son of Nanda Maharaja come again. He is
the extraordinarily brilliant ornament of the earth. His preaching mood is
suitably adapted to the cycle of birth and death. His consciousness is fixed in
meditation on His own form of Krsna. He is always
accompanied by His transcendental abode.—I bow to Gaura,
the beautiful son of Mother Saci.
8)
His eyes, the soles of His feet, and His clothing are reddish like the color
that heralds the rising sun. As He utters His own names, His voice falters. He
awakens a sweet flavor to life throughout the universe.—I bow down to Gaura, the beautiful son of Mother Saci.
