(1)

mādhava, bahuta minati kari toya
dei tulasī tila, deha samarpinu,
dayā jāni nā chāḍabi moya

(2)

gaṇaite doṣa, guṇaleśa nā pāobi,
yab tuhuñ karabi vicāra
tuhuñ jagannāth, jagate kahāosi
jag-bāhira nahi muñi chāra

Song Name: Kalau Yam Vidvamsah Sphutam

Official Name: Volume 1 Dvitiya Sri Caitanyastakam

Author: Rupa Goswami

Book Name: Stavamala

Language: Sanskrit

(1)

kalau yaḿ vidvaḿsaḥ sphuṭam abhiyajante dyuti-bharād
akṛṣṇāńgaḿ kṛṣṇaḿ makha-vidhibhir utkīrtanamayaiḥ
upāsyaḿ ca prāhur yam akhila-caturthāśrama-juṣāḿ
sa devaś caitanyākṛtir atitarāḿ naḥ kṛpayatu

By performing the sacrifice of congregational chanting of the holy name, scholars in the age of Kali worship Lord Krsna, who is now non-blackish because of the great upsurge of feelings of Srimati Radharani. He is the only worshipable Deity for the paramahamsas, who have attained the highest stage of the fourth order (sannyasa). May that Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Caitanya, show us His great causeless mercy.

Song Name: Sadopasyah Sriman Dhrta Manuja

Official Name: Volume 1 Prathama Caitanyastaka

Author: Rupa Goswami

Book Name: Stavamala

Language: Sanskrit

(1)

sadopāsyaḥ śrīmān dhṛta-manuja-kāyaiḥ praṇayitāḿ
vahadbhir girbāṇair giriśa-parameṣṭhi-prabhṛtibhiḥ
sva-bhaktebhyaḥ śuddhasḿ nija-bhajana-mudrām upadiśan
sa caitanyaḥ kiḿ me punar api dṛśor yāsyati padam

Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu is always the most worshipable Deity of the demigods, including Lord Siva and Lord Brahma, who came in the garb of ordinary men bearing love for Him. He instructs His own pure devotional service to His own devotees. Will He again become visible before the path of my eyes?

Sri Cauragraganya Ashtakam
by Srila Bilvamangala Thakur

व्रजे प्रसिद्धं नवनीतचौरं, गोपांगनानां च दुकूलचौरम् ।
अनेक-जन्मार्जित-पापचौरं, चौराग्रगण्यं पुरुषं नमामि ॥१॥

vraje prasiddhaḿ navanīta-cauraḿ
gopāńganānāḿ ca dukūla-cauram
aneka-janmārjita-pāpa-cauraḿ
caurāgragaṇyaḿ puruṣaḿ namāmi

I offer pranama to that foremost of thieves — who is famous in Vraja as the butterthief and He who steals the gopis’ clothes, and who, for those who take shelter of Him, steals the sins which have accrued over many lifetimes.

श्रीराधिकाया हृदयस्य चौरं, नवांबुदश्यामलकान्तिचौरम् ।
पदाश्रितानां च समस्तचौरं, चौराग्रगण्यम् पुरुषं नमामि ॥२॥

śrī rādhikāyā hṛdayasya cauraḿ
navāmbuda-śyāmala-kānti-cauram
padāśritānāḿ ca samasta-cauraḿ
caurāgragaṇyaḿ puruṣaḿ namāmi

I offer pranama to the foremost of thieves — who steals Srimati Radhika’s heart, who steals the dark luster of a fresh raincloud, and who steals all the sins and sufferings of those who take shelter of His feet.
