Pradosa Samaye Srivasa Agane
Soka Satana Song 1
pradoṣa-samaye śrībāsa-aṅgane saṅgopane gorā-maṇi
śrī-hari-kīrtane nāce nānā-raṅge uṭhilo maṅgala-dhwani
In the evening twilight, within the privacy of Srivasa Pandita's courtyard, the cream- lustered jewel, Lord Gauramani, raised a most auspicious vibration by His chanting of Hari-kirtana, which He personally accompanied by dancing in various playful moods.
mṛdaṅga mādala bāje karatāla mājhe mājhe jayatura
prabhura naṭana dekhi ' sakalera hoilo santāpa dūra
Accompanied by the paying of the mrdanga drum and karatalas, and amidst occasional victorious shouts of " Jaya! Jaya!" the dramatic dance of the Lord dispelled the grief of all those who witnessed it.
akhaṇda premete mātala takhana sakala bhakata-gaṇa
āpana pāsari ' gorācande gheri ' nāce gāya anukhaṇa
Then, becoming madly intoxicated in supreme ecstatic love, all the assembled devotees completely forgot themselves and incessantly began to dance and chant wildly, surrounding Lord Gauracandra.
emona samaye daiba-byādhi-joge śrībāsera antah ̣-pure
tanaya-bijoge nārī-gaṇa śoke prokāśalo uccaiḥ-sware
At this time, within the inner chamber of Srivasa's house, one of his sons suddenly died due to some disease, as ordained by the will of Providence. Due to separation from the boy, all the women of the household began to lament and cry out in a loud voice.
krandana uṭhile habe rasa-bhaṅga bhakatibinoda ḍare
śrībāsa amani bujhilo kāraṇa paśilo āpana ghare
Now Bhaktivinoda fears that the transcendental mellows of the Lord's kirtana will be disturbed by the uprising of such loud crying sounds. However, Srivasa Pandita has now understood the cause of this sound, and has personally entered the house.
