TRANSLATION
1)
On Ekadasi day Mahaprabhu,
who is the life and soul of all beings, decreed that every-one should gather
for kirtana. Hearing the sound of His own name, He
began to dance in ecstasy.
2)
In Srivasa-angana, Srivasa Thakura’s divine courtyard, He inaugurated the auspicious
reverberations of the kirtana in a booming voice: “Gopala! Govinda!”
3)
In the courtyard the sounds of the mrdanga, small
cymbals, conch, karatalas and beautiful singing all
mixed together.
4)
The loud sound passed through the entire brahmanda
and filled the whole sky reaching Svetadvipa,
destroying everything inauspicious in all the fourteen worlds.
5)
From morning Visvambhara He who nourishes and
maintains the whole universe by bhakti started
dancing. Many groups sang charmingly – each group singing a different melody.
6)
Srivasa Pandita was the
guru of one group of kirtaniyas, and Mukunda was the lead singer of another.
7)
Govinda Ghosa was the head
of another group. Gauracandra danced in the middle of
the whole kirtana party.
8)
The mighty Nityananda Prabhu
protected Mahaprabhu when He swooned while dancing as
Advaita Acarya secretly
took His foot-dust at that time.
9)
Tears came to Gadadhara, Mukunda,
Sridhara and others upon hearing Mahaprabhu’s
kirtana, as the rising of asta-sattvika
bhavas overwhelmed their hearts.
10)
Visvambhara danced with so much force that the earth
trembled, causing all the devotees to become afraid.
11)
Sometimes Visvambhara danced so gracefully and
sweetly that He appeared to be natavara Nanda-nandana, the best of dancers.
12)
Mahaprabhu’s beauty is unequalled and unsurpassed;
defeating even Krsna’s beauty even Krsna has no mahabhava. All His followers’ eyes filled with ananda seeing His dancing.
13)
Mahaprabhu Visvambhara
danced, absorbed in ananda. Hearing the rhythm of His
dancing feet, the devotees became spellbound.
14)
As Mahaprabhu danced, being filled with bhava, His garland could not stay around His neck but
broke, all the flowers falling at the feet of His devotees.
15)
The auspicious sounds of sri harinama-sankirtana
spread in every direction while Jagannatha Misra’s son danced in the midst of all the devotees.
16)
Siva chants the same blissful name and becomes so absorbed in prema that his cloth falls down. Hearing Mahaprabhu’s glories, Siva starts to dance, and Mahaprabhu, hearing His own glories, also dances.
17)
By this same nama Valmiki achieved the wealth of austerity – he saw all Rama lila. And by this same nama all of Ajamila’s
anarthas and aparadhas were
pulled out by the root.
18)
Hearing sri krsna-nama
totally cuts all worldly attachments. Sri Krsna Himself came in Kali-yuga as Mahaprabhu, dancing and
advising all to chant krsna-nama.
19)
Sukadeva and Narada also
chant this krsna-nama and distribute it. With
thousands of tongues Mahaprabhu sings the glories of
this nama.
20)
Taking Mahaprabhu’s name constitutes the highest form
of atonement. Seeing Mahaprabhu dancing, the devotees
became supremely fortunate.
21)
Seeing Mahaprabhu’s bliss, the devotees embraced each
other and wept loudly as the rays of Mahaprabhu’s ananda entered their hearts.
22)
All the devotees attended kirtana and Mahaprabhu personally
decorated their bodies with candana and garlands. Sri
Gaurasundara and the devotees sang and tasted krsnarasa with great joy.
23)
Absorbed in kirtana, all the Vaisnava
devotees completely lost sense of their own bodies and everyone else around
them.
24)
“Jaya krsna, murari, mukunda, vanamali.” Day and night all the devotees sang kirtana in great happiness.
25) Visvambhara danced
twenty-four hours with His devotees but never tired, because His body was sattva-kalevara, fully transcendental.
26) Daily Mahaprabhu in
full prema danced in kirtana
the whole night, and only stopped three hours before sunrise.
27)
Daily Mahaprabhu, the hero who enjoys the prema-rasa of Vaikuntha Svetadvipa, tasted and distributed great bliss in Navadvipa.
28)
Gauracandra and all His associates enter in the
hearts of the devotees who hear the allvirtuous hari-katha with full faith. Thus their hearts become Srivasa-angana.
29)
Vrndavana dasa says, “Sri
Krsna Caitanya and the moon-like Nityananda
Prabhu are my life and soul and I offer my dandavat-pranama at Their lotus
feet.”
