Kali Yuge Sri Caitanya

1

kali- yuge sri-caitanya abani karila
dhanya patita-pabana yara bana
purabe radhara bhabe gauranga la-iha
ebe nija rupa dhari kanca sona

In Kali- yuga, Lord Caitanya made the earth fortunate and glorious. He was the purifier of the fallen souls. At that time He manifested a form effulgent like gold, a form effulgent like Sri Radha's.

2

gauranga patita-pabana abatari kali bhujangama
dekhi hari-name jiba rakhi apani ha-ila dhanvantari

(Refrain) Descending to this world, Lord Caitanya purified the fallen souls. Seeing the snake of Kali- yuga (biting the fallen souls), Lord Caitanya was like Dhanvantari (demigod of medicine). Giving them the medicine of Lord Krsna's holy names, He rescued the fallen souls.

3

gadadhara adi yata maha maha
bhagabata tara saba gora-guna gaya
akhila bhubana pati goloke yanhara
sthiti hari bali abani lothaya

Gadadhara and the other great devotees chanted Lord Gaura's glories. The Supreme Personality of Godhead, the master of the all the worlds, the master who stays in the spiritual world of Goloka, descended to this world. He chanted " Hari!" In ecstasy He rolled on the ground.

4

sonari puraba guna murachaya
punah punah parase dharani ulasita
carana kamala kiba nakhara ujora
sota gobinda-dasa se bancita

Remembering the glories of His previous incarnation, He fell unconscious again and again. At these times the earth became filled by bliss by His touch. The touch of His lotus feet and lotus toenails made the whole world glorious. Only Govinda dasa was cheated of Their touch.
