Jaya Jaga Tarana Karana Dhama
Song 2
(Refrain) jaya jaga-tāraṇa-kāraṇa
dhāma ānanda-kanda nityānanda nāma
(Refrain) Glory to the Lord who delivers the worlds, the Lord who is the root of all bliss, the Lord who bears the name Nityananda!
ḍagamaga locana - kamala ḍhulāyata
sahaje athira gati jiti matoyāra
bhā-iyā abhirāma bali ghana ghana
ḍāka-i gaura prema-bhare cala-i nā pāra
Tears stream from His restless lotus eyes. He is restless and unsteady. "Brother Abhirama!" He calls. Overcome with ecstatic spiritual love for Lord Gaura, He has no power to walk.
gada gada ādhamadhura bacanāmṛta
lahu lahu hāsa-bikaśita gaṇḍa
pāṣaṇḍa khaṇḍana śrī-bhuja-maṇḍana
kanaka- khacita abalambana daṇḍa
His half words spoken in a choked voice are sweeter than nectar. A gentle smile blossoms on His face. He breaks all sins into pieces. His glorious arms are decorated with a golden staff.
kali- yuga kālabhujaṅgama daṁśala
dagadhala sthābara jāṅgama dekhi
prema-sudhā-rasa jaga bhari
barikhala gobinda-dāsake kāhe upekhi
Seeing the moving and unmoving beings burning with poison, bitten by the fangs of the black snake that is Kali- yuga, He showers everyone with a monsoon of the nectar-antidote of ecstatic spiritual love. Only Govinda dasa does not receive that antidote. Only Govinda dasa is forgotten.
