Song 10

(Sindhuḍā rāga)

110. His eyes are red lotus flowers. His moving glances are restless birds. He is plunged in the nectar honey of compassion for others. His face is a full moon. Its moonlight makes every heart weep with ecstasy. How much spiritual love has he brought to this world? Refrain: Trembling with ecstatic spiritual love, the moon that is Śacī’s son joyfully dances in Nadīyā’s villages. Everyone sings auspicious songs of "Jaya! Jaya!" Gazing at Him, everyone is filled with wonder. He is handsome like Kāmadeva. He is the king of dancers.

111. The hairs on His body stand erect, hairs like the filaments on golden kadamba flowers. His body is covered with perspiration. His body īs filled with ecstatic spiritual love. He is is glorious like the newly-risen sun. On His conchshell neck choked with emotion, half-spoken words rest.

112. On His fragrant lotus feet glisten ten toenail moons and a pair of golden anklets. He glistens like a moving lightning flash. He fills the demigods with wonder.

113. In the midst of the seven continents of the earth rest the nine islands of Navadvīpa. In Navadvīpa Lord Gaura-Harī manifests ecstatic spiritual love. Chanting the holy names of Lord Hari, Lord Gaura-Harī fills with bliss the land and sky.

114. He is graceful like a lion cub. His deep voice is like thundering rainclouds. He is tossed by the waves in the ocean of spiritual love. He chants: "Hari! Haribol!" He makes the whole world overcome with bliss. On both sides the saintly girls drink the sight of Him.

115. His limbs are effulgent like glistening lamps or like the shining sun. His pastimes are glorious. His graceful form defeats ten million Kāmadevas grasping bows and arrows of flowers. He has brought ecstatic spiritual love to this world.

116. The graceful sandal-paste moons on His face defeated hundreds of thousands of full moons in the sky. The swiftly flowing streams of tears from the corners of His eyes gave to the people of the world, people bewildered from birth, the gift of ecstatic spiritual love.

117. He was graceful like an intoxicated elephant. He was overcome with ecstatic love. Gazing at Him, everyuone became filled with wonder. He charmed the beautiful girls. Gazing at Him, they forgot their homes. Gazing at Him, they became filled with the longings of Kāmadeva.

118. How can I speak any metaphors or similes to describe my Gaura Rāya? His graceful form was filled with kindness. He filled the people of Nadīyā with such ecstatic spiritual love they no longer knew whether it was day or night. Locana dāsa joyfully sings this song.
