“I’ve heard from the saints’ mouths, and so say all,
With Śrī Rūpa’s grace, the feet of Yugala are attained.”

“Hā hā! Master Sanātana, the companions of Gaura!
All of you, make my desires fulfilled!”

”Should Śrī Rūpa’s grace fall upon me...
Whose is the shelter of those feet, he is great indeed!”

“When will master Lokanātha go, keeping me with him,
And offer me at Śrī Rūpa’s lotus feet?”
heno ki haibe mora narma-sakhī-gaṇe /
anugata narottame karibe śāsane //
“Then, shall it happen to me that the dear sakhīs
Will scold Narottama, who has become their follower?”

hari hari kabe habe vṛndāvana-vāsī /
nirakhiba naẏane yugala rūpa-rāśi //
“Hari, Hari! When will I become a resident of Vṛndāvana?
With my eyes, I shall see the charming forms of Śrī Yugala…”
tyājiba śaẏana sukha vicitra pālaṅka /
kabe vrajera dhūlāẏa dhūsara habe aṅga //
“Forsaking the joy of sleeping on a fancy bed,
When will my limbs be anointed with the dust of Vraja?”

I’ll take rest, going to Yamunā’s bank.”

“I’ll rid myself of burning heat at the cooling Vaṁśī-vaṭa;
When will I sit in the kuñja near the Vaiṣṇavas?”

Narottama Dās says, “Forsaking all,
When will such a state be mine?”

On the eighth day of the bright half of Bhadra-month, on the day of the Visakha-constellation, Srimati's birth occured.
The sun, having traveled to mid-day and seeing the splendor of the baby girl, said "Jaya Jaya" in great delight.
In the town of Vrisabhanu, in each and every house, "Jaya Radhe, Sri Radhe" was said.
Seeing the moon-face of the daughter, the king became most happy and gave in charity to all brahmanas.
He gave different ingredients to the hands of all the ladies of the village, as they assembled at Kirtida's temple.
"As the fruit of so much piety, with the godspeed of destiny, such a baby girl has been given to you!
"We are thinking that she is not an ordinary human at all -- who has taken birth in this disguise?"
Ghanasyama Das says, "Have no doubt of it, she will always be dear to Krishna!"

Praise, praise to my master, Thakur Haridas
Who brought forth the glory of Hari's name.
Among Gaura's devotees, he is the foremost of all,
Caitanya himself would weep, singing of his qualities.
Advaita Acarya is the summit of love for the dear lord;
He knows the glory of Haridas!
Nityananda-canda is known to be like his life;
With the touch of his feet, the Earth feels herself blessed!
"Hare Krishna, Hare Rama" -- who more shall hear?
As Haridas departed, life became a burden to bear.
Haridas was the crown-jewel of the Earth;
In his absence, the Earth has lost its gem.
"Say 'Jaya Haridas' and make the hari-dhvani!"
So said Mahaprabhu and danced himself.
Everyone sang, "Jaya Jaya, Jaya Haridas
Who brought forth the glory of the name!"

Praise, praise to my master, Thakur Haridas
Who brought forth the glory of Hari's name.
Among Gaura's devotees, he is the foremost of all,
Caitanya himself would weep, singing of his qualities.
Advaita Acarya is the summit of love for the dear lord;
He knows the glory of Haridas!
Nityananda-canda is known to be like his life;
With the touch of his feet, the Earth feels herself blessed!
"Hare Krishna, Hare Rama" -- who more shall hear?
As Haridas departed, life became a burden to bear.
Haridas was the crown-jewel of the Earth;
In his absence, the Earth has lost its gem.
"Say 'Jaya Haridas' and make the hari-dhvani!"
So said Mahaprabhu and danced himself.
Everyone sang, "Jaya Jaya, Jaya Haridas
Who brought forth the glory of the name!"

On the banks of Suradhuni today, Gaurakisora
became filled with the relish of the swing pastimes.
The swing was wholly decorated with various flowers
and all the companions were enthralled in joy.
Gaura again swinged in Gadadhara's company
with that, how many waves of prema arose?
Mukunda, Madhava, Vasu and Haridasa joined
singing of the joys of these pastimes of rasa.
How many pastimes does the hero of Nadiya have?
Ramananda Das is longing for this.

Immersed in the birth day of the beloved Radha, his body was filled with joy;
The hero of Nadiya became immersed in thoughts of Vrisabhanu's village.
Beholding Gadadhara's face again and again, Gora, the king of dancers danced;
All the companions felt this bhava, and sung of the great festival.
There were pots and pots of yoghurt mixed with turmeric;
The dear companions danced, making deep hulahuli-sounds.
The clever Gauranga is an ocean of rasa, and there swell the waves of emotion;
The world became filled with such joy -- this is what Ballavi Das sings.
