Song 4

(Śyāmagaḍā rāga)

Refrain: His handsome tall form is like Mount Sumeru’s summit. He trembles, overcome with ecstatic spiritual love. From head to foot the hairs of His body stand erect. Tears stream from His eyes. Overcome with bliss, Śacī’s son dances in Nadīyā’s villages.

1. Śrīnivāsa and his four brothers joyfully sang auspicious songs. Haridāsa called out: "Hari! Hari!" There was a great roar of songs comparing Lord Gaura to the teenage couple of Vraja. Everyone was tossed by waves of ecstatic spiritual love.

2. Without stop Murārī and Mukunda Datta sang songs glorifying the Lord. The hairs on their bodies standing erect in ecstasy, they sang. Yearning to taste the nectar of ecstatic spiritual love, like intoxicated bumblebees the devotees surrounded the lotus flower of Lord Gaura’s feet.

3. On all four sides came calls of "Jaya!" In the middle danced Lord Gaura, effulgent like gold. Everyone there was overcome with bliss. Wherever anyone looked everyone was filled with bliss. The weeping of ecstatic love filled the ten directions.

4. Whenever two devotees met, they embraced in the ecstasy of spiritual love. Poets recited poems. Falling down before the Lord’s feet, paṇḍitas and gsovāmīs recited prayers. The devotees created what was like a marketplace of the holy name.

5. The hairs of His body erect with ecstasy, Lord Gaura seemed decorated with pearls and gold. His face was reddened with ecstatic love. He smiled a gentle nectar smile. Then He revealed the treasure in His heart.

6. On moment He spoke wildly like a drunkard. The next mometn He declared: "I am the Supreme Personality of Godhead". The next moment He bowed down to offer obeisances. The next moment He spoke blessings. The next moment He gave boons to His followers.

7. No man or woman in the seven continents had ever seen the ecstatic love the Lord revealed. Gazing at Lord Gaura’s ecstay of love, Locana dāsa also is overcome with love.
