Dekhalu Gaurangacandra Vibhora
Song 17
(Refrain) dekhalu gaurāṅgacandra bibhora kali- yuga
kaluṣa-timira-ghora-nāśaka nabadwīpa cānda ujora
(Refrain) I saw Lord Gaurangacandra. Now I am overcome. Lord Gaura is a splendid moon rising in Navadvipa, a moon that destroys the horrible darkness of Kali- yuga's sins.
gaura baraṇa tanu śohana mohana sundara madhura su-ṭhāma
anupama aruṇa kiraṇa jini ambara sundara cāru bayāna
His complexion is fair. His form is splendid, enchanting, handsome, sweet, and graceful. His garments defeat the peerless rising sun. His face is handsome and graceful.
bhābahi bhoraghora duhum ́ locana mocana bhaba-nada-bandha
naba naba prema-bharabara tanu
sundara uyala bhakata gaṇa saṅga
His eyes are restless with ecstatic spiritual love. He frees everyone from the bonds of repeated birth and death. His graceful form is overcome with newer and newer ecstatic spiritual love. He stays amongst the devotees.
lahu lahu hāsa bhāṣa mṛdu bolata śohata gati ati manda
dīna jane nija bīja saba de- i tārala bañcita dāsa gobinda
He gently smiles. He speaks sweet words. His slow movements are graceful. Giving them the seed of ecstatic spiritual love, He delivers the poor fallen people. Only Govinda dasa He did not deliver. Only Govinda dasa was cheated.
