carana-parase ksiti ananda-hilola
7. purala jaga-jana-asa
kebala bancita gobinda dasa
1. He is glorious like gold. Youthful and more charming than Kamadeva, He wears a dancer’s garments. His every limâ is plunged in great waves of nectar.
2. He who is the moon of Navadvipa dances. He plunges the people of the world into the bliss of spiritual love.
3. The hairs of His body stand erect. Has He noe become like a blooming kadamba tree?
4. Tears stream from His eyes. One moment He laughs and the next moment He weeps. He is overcome with spiritual love.
5. Overcome by tasting nectar, He speaks broken syllables in a choked voice. The touch of His feet makes the world tremble in waves of bliss.

3. In a choked voice He speaks sweet broken syllables. His words are sweet like nectar. His cheeks blossom in sweet sweet smiles and laughter. He breaks the blasphemers into pieces. He graceful arms are decorated with golden ornaments. He holds a staff.
4. Seeing the moving moving and unmoving beings burning in the grip of the snake of Kali-yuga, He showers the nectar of spiritual love on all the worlds. Govinda dasa asks: Whom should I spurn and whom should I accept?
