Srivasa Vacana Sravana Koriya
Soka Satana Song 5
śrībāsa-bacana śrabaṇa koriyā sādhwī pati-brata-gaṇa
śoka parihari ' mṛta śiśu rākhi ' hari- rase dilo mana
Hearing these words of Srivasa Pandita, all those chaste and faithful ladies gave up their lamentation for the dead son, because Srivasa had satisfied their minds by informing them of the transcendental mellows of Lord Hari.
śrībāsa takhana ānande mātiyā aṅgane ailo punah ̣
nāce gorā -sane sakala pāsari ' gāya nanda-suta-guṇa
Then Srivasa again came out into the courtyard and, overwhelmed with joy, resumed dancing with Lord Caitanya and loudly sang the glories of the Son of Nanda Maharaja, completely forgetting about what had just happened.
cāri daṇḍa rātre mārilo kumāra aṅgane keho nā jāne
śrī-nāma-maṅgale tṛtīya prahara rajanī atīta gāne
The boy had expired only 1 - ½ hours after dark, but out in the courtyard no one had known anything due to the loud kirtana. Then for 9 hours there was continuous chanting of the auspicious holy names. Thus the entire night had elapsed in this ecstatic singing.
kīrtana bhaṅgile kohe gaura-hari āji keno pāi duḥkha
bujhi ei gṛhe kichu amaṅgala ghaṭiyā harilo sukha
Then the kirtana stopped, and Lord Gaurahari said, "Why am I feeling some unhappiness today? I can understand that something inauspicious has happened in this house which has robbed Me of My bliss."
tabe bhakta-jana nibedana kore śrībāsa-śiśura kathā
śuni ' gorā rāya bole hāya hāya marame pāinu byathā
Then the devotees related to the Lord the story of the death of Srivasa's son. Hearing this news, the Lord loudly exclaimed, "Oh no! What has happened? Now the core of My heart has become pierced with so much unbearable pain!"
keno nā kohile āmāre takhana bipada-sambada sabe
bhakatibinoda bhakata-batsala snehete mājilo tabe
"Why didn't you inform Me of this calamity when it had just happened?" Now, Bhaktivinoda has completely lost himself in the affection that he Lords shows to His own devotees.
