About Srila Chaitanya Mahaprabhu
Srila Vrindavan Das Thakur
bimala hema-jini tanu anupama re!
tahe sobhe nana phula-dama
kadamba kesara jini ekati pulaka re!
tara majhe bindu bindu ghama [1]
His figure defeats pure gold! Various flowers garlands adorn Him highlighting His beauty, and, in His ecstatic thrill, the hairs on His body standing erect defeat the stamens of kadamba flowers! His body is covered with drops of perspiration.
jini’ mada-matta hati gamana manthara ati
bhava-vese dhuli dhuli yaya
aruna-vasana chhabi jini prabhatera ravi
gaura-ange lahari khelaya [2]
His paced gait defeats the walk of a mad elephant; overcome with divine love, He staggers and walks about; The glow of His crimson garments defeat the glow of the morning sun; His golden limbs sway like large waves of an ocean.
chalite na pare gora-chanda gosani re
balite na pare adha-bola
bhavete avesa haiya hari hari bolaiya
achandale dhari’ deya kola [3]
Gorachand can walk no more, He can talk no more hardly uttering some half-words. Deeply absorbed by the mellows of divine love, chanting, “Hari, Hari,” He catches hold of the lowest of men and embraces them.
e sukha-sampada-kale gora na bhajinu hele
hena pade na karinu asa
sri-krsna-chaitanya-chandra thakura sri-nityananda
gana gaya vrndavana dasa [4]
