resemble a splendid golden mountain, and His words come from His lips like waves ofnectar. That golden-limbed Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu rises within my heart and maddensme.
2) As He danced before the Ratha-yatra chariot, Caitanya Mahaprabhu pleased Lord
Jagannatha by decorating Himself with the nine jewels of the sattvika-bhava ecstasies,namely paleness, becoming stunned, stuttering, trembling, shedding tears, horripilation,laughing, perspiring, and dancing. That golden-limbed Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu riseswithin my heart and maddens me.
3) Trembling as He danced before Lord Jagannathas chariot, Lord Caitanya staggered aboutin ecstasy, sprinkling everyone with water from the reddish syringes of His eyes and
joyfully biting His charming lips with His teeth. That golden-limbed Sri CaitanyaMahaprabhu rises within my heart and maddens me.
4) Sometimes Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu would go to the house of Kasi Misra. There Hewould be greatly aggrieved, feeling separation from Krsna. The joints of His transcendentalbody would slacken, and His arms and legs would become elongated. Rolling on theground, the Lord would cry out in distress in a faltering voice and weep very sorrowfully.The appearance of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, awakening in my heart, maddens me.*
5) How wonderful it is! Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu left His residence without opening thethree strongly bolted doors. Then He crossed over three high walls, and later, because ofstrong feelings of separation from Krsna, He fell down amidst the cows of the Tailangadistrict and retracted all the limbs of His body like a tortoise. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu,who appeared in that way, rises in my heart and maddens me. *
6) Because of separation from His many friends in Vrndavana, who were like His own life,Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu spoke like a madman. His intelligence was transformed. Day andnight He rubbed His moonlike face against the walls, and blood flowed from the injuries.May that Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu rise in my heart and make me mad with love.*
7) My dear friend the doorkeeper, where is Krsna, the Lord of My heart? Kindly show Himto Me quickly. With these words Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu addressed the doorkeeperlike a madman. The doorkeeper grasped His hand and replied very hastily, Come, see Yourbeloved! May that Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu rise within my heart and thus make me
mad also.*
8) Near Jagannatha Puri was a great sand dune known as Cataka-parvata. Seeing that hill,Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu said, Oh, I shall go to the land of Vraja to see Govardhana Hill.Then He began running madly to it, and all the Vaisnavas ran after Him. This sceneawakens in my heart and maddens me.*
9) During Dola-yatra, the swing festival of Sri Sri Radha and Krsna, Lord Caitanya stayedunder a charming pavilion and sweetly and jubilantly sang the holy names in the companyof Svarupa Damodara and His other intimate devotees. That golden-limbed Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu rises within my heart and maddens me.

10) Lord Caitanya was as kind to Govinda dasa as Lord Narayana is to Garuda. He was asdevoted to Isvara Puri as Lord Krsna was to His guru, Sandipani Muni, the best of acaryas.And He was as affectionate toward Svarupa Damodara Gosvami as Lord Giridhari wastoward Subala. That golden-limbed Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu rises within my heart andmaddens me.
11) Although I am a fallen soul, the lowest of men, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu delivered mefrom the blazing forest fire of great material opulence by His mercy. He handed me over ingreat pleasure to Svarupa Damodara, His personal associate. The Lord also gave me thegarland of gunja that He wore on His chest and a stone from Govardhana Hill, althoughthey were very dear to Him. That same Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu awakens within myheart and makes me mad after Him.*
12) This poem is like a celestial desire tree whose charming branches are its verses. Thosebranches appear very splendid because of the blossoming flowers of variegated expressions
of ecstatic love for Lord Gauranga that grow there. If a person regularly waters this treewith lots of the water of careful and pure reading mixed with the powerful plant food ofgreat faith, he will certainly be able to taste that trees heavy, nectarean fruitthe personalaudience of Lord Gauranga.

TRANSLATION1) Lord Caitanya Mahprabhu is always the most worshipable Deity of the demigods,including Lord iva and Lord Brahm, who came in the gar of ordinary men, bearing lovefor Him. Hew instructs His own pure devotional service to His own devotees. Will He againbecome visible before the path of my eyes?*
2) r Caitanya Mahprabhu is the protector of the demigods, the supreme goal of theUpaniads, the be-all and end-all of the great sages, the beautiful shelter of His devotees,and the essence of the love of the lotus-eyed gops. Will He again be visible before the pathof my eyes?*
3) r Caitanya Mahprabhu has manifested His own form, which cannot be compared toanything in the material universe. He is very dear to Advaita Acrya, and rvsa Paita issurrendered to Him. He is very respectful to Paramnanda Pur. He takes away theignorance of the material world and delivers the conditioned souls suffering from the
threefold miseries. He showered His mercy on Mahrja Pratparudra, the king of Orissa.Will He again become visible before the path of my eyes?

4) r Caitanya Mahprabhu becomes maddened by tasting the mellows of devotionalservice. His effulgent form is the abode of sweetness for millions of cupids. He is the crest
jewel of the sannyss. His garments display the effulgence of the sun and the splendor ofHis body eclipses the beauty of gold. Will He again become visible before the path of my
eyes?
5) r Caitanya Mahprabhu chants the Hare Ka mantra in a loud voice, the holy namedancing on His tongue as He counts the number of recitations with His effulgent hand. Hiseyes are large, and His long arms. bending as He performs His pastimes, reach down to Hisknees. Will He again become visible before the path of my eyes?*
6) r Caitanya Mahprabhu is the topmost of all devotees. Sometimes, while walking onthe beach, he would see a beautiful garden nearby and mistake it for the forest ofVndvana. He would thus be completely overwhelmed by ecstat love of Ka and begin
to chant the holy name and dance. His tongue worked incessantly as He chanted, "Ka!Ka!" Will He again become visible before the path of my eyes?*
7) r Caitanya Mahprabhu danced down the main road in great ecstasy before LordJaganntha, the master of Nlcala, who was sitting on His car. Overwhelmed by thetranscendental bliss of dancing, and surrounded by the Vaiavas who sang the holy names,He manifested waves of ecstat love of Godhead. Will He again become visible before thepath of my eyes?*
8) r Caitanya Mahprabhu became joyful during the chanting of the holy names, and hesprinkled the earth with showers of tears. All the hairs of His body, standing on end,appeared like the beautiful filaments of fresh kadamba blossoms, and His body glistenedwith perspiration. Will he again become visible before the path of my eyes?
9) May the great ocean full of waves of pure love for the two white lotus flowers of the feetof r Caitanya Mahprabhu become immediately manifested to whatever pious personreads these eight most auspicious verses, his pure intelligence shining with faith as hemeditates on Lord Gaurga.

4) Your pastimes of having the lion subjugating to Your dance, and helping the fallen souls,Your lila has immersed Brahma and Siva. They adore Your moon like toonails. Jaya Gaura,pure and golden. Obeisances unto You!"
5) Gaura covers a bad malati flower like the Mountain Meru covering the Ganges. His
moonlike face smiles between verses. Jaya Gaura, pure and golden. Obeisances unto You!"
6) With red sandalwood paste, His front side shines. With saffron clothing, His bodybecomes resplendent. His toenails are each like the moon which serve His devotee, LordSiva. Jaya Gaura, pure and golden. Obeisances unto You!"
7) Peace takes form once one surrenders to devotion. Lord Gaura dances in beautifulmovements and covers His body with beautiful garlands. Jaya Gaura, pure and golden.Obeisances unto You!"
8) He renounced all pleasures in His sannyasa form. To the people, His head appears to beshaven. He is impulsed by intense desire and bhakti. Jaya Gaura, pure and golden.Obeisances unto You!"

TRANSLATION1) I prostrate myself before the Son of Mother Saci, Whose radiant lotus face and bodyshine with the splendor of molten gold. This transcendental body is the playground forthe continuous expression of variegated moods and ecstatic symptoms, that carry His
consciousness to the realm where He is no longer aware of that transcendental body. Byonly a particle of His mercy he has delivered the three worlds.
2) I salute the Son of Mother Saci, Whose heart is in a state of rapture, transformed byfeelings of intense love. In His pastime of loud roaring, before the mischievous andmalicious rascals, He removes all fear of the vast ocean of material existence, by the effect ofHis unlimited compassion.
3) He is wearing garments the color of the eastern sky during the dawn, and His lovelycheeks shine with the same radiance. The nails of His hands and feet have the same
pleasing effect of the moon, shining in the sky. His pleasure diversion consists indiscussions and glorification of His own wonderful qualities and names. I offer myobeisances to the Son of Mother Saci.
4) His lotus eyes are always wet with tears. His ornaments are the new and ever freshtransformations of ecstatic love that decorate His transcendental form. His gait is slow andmajestic, yet His dancing is a wonderful pastime of enjoyment. I bow down before the Sonof Mother Saci.
5) The movement of His lovely, yet restless, lotus feet captivates the mind, and His anklebracelets sweeten that charming scene all the more. His face, which defeats the beauty ofthe moon, is very cooling and pleasant. I offer my salutations to the Son of Mother Saci.
6) He wears a cord around His waist and carries in His hands a water pot and staff. Hisdivine appearance is complemented by His shaved head. The sins of the wicked areannulled by the rod of chastisement that he carries. I salute the Son of Mother Saci.
7) His ornaments are the dust on His body and His radiant tilok, prepared withsandalwood. The beautiful sight of His trembling reddish lips brings delight to the mindand heart. I offer my obeisances to the Son of Mother Saci.
8) His lotus eyes defeat the color of pink lotuses. His two lotus hands are very long,reaching down almost to His knees. He appears to be a mere adolescent, dressed as He is,ready to dance. I prostrate myself before the Son of Mother Saci.

6) He plays karatals as His throat emits sweet melodious sounds and the vibrant notes ofthe vina are softly played. He thus inspires the devotees to perform dramatic dancing that isinfused with aspects of His own devotional service.I bow down to Gaura, the beautifulson of Mother Saci.
7) He is accompanied by the sankirtana movement, which is the religious practice for theage of Kali. He is the son of Nanda Maharaja come again. He is the extraordinarily brilliantornament of the earth. His preaching mood is suitably adapted to the cycle of birth anddeath. His consciousness is fixed in meditation on His own form of Krsna. He is alwaysaccompanied by His transcendental abode.I bow to Gaura, the beautiful son of MotherSaci.
8) His eyes, the soles of His feet, and His clothing are reddish like the color that heralds therising sun. As He utters His own names, His voice falters. He awakens a sweet flavor to lifethroughout the universe.I bow down to Gaura, the beautiful son of Mother Saci.

TRANSLATION1) One day, Gadadhara Pandita heard the following words: O Gadadhara! I saw the mostextraordinary person on the road to Gaya. His form was very handsome, and He roared justlike a thundercloud. His eyes rained tears as if they had become rain clouds, and He rolledabout on the ground, His voice choked up in the ecstasy of love of God. All glories to thatLord, the son of Saci-devi.
2) Oh, what kind of extraordinary state has He attained? Although He is the leader of thescholars, He no longer delights in study. When He holds class, surrounded by his pupils, ifHe hears the sound "Hari", He begins to tremble. All glories to that Lord, the son of Saci-devi.
3) Once during class Lord Caitanya interrupted a pupil and asked, 'What are you saying?Instead of these verbs, you should constantly repeat the name of Krsna, the most famous ofall worlds according to the Vedas. O students, without Krsna, what benefit can verbs give?'All glories to Lord Caitanya, the son of Saci-devi, who chants His own holy name in thatway.

4) No matter what the particular topic of study was, He would smile and instruct Hisastonished grammar students in this way: 'O students, please place the two large eyes of SriKrsna, which are as beautiful as two lotus petals, within your hearts, and please place Hislotus feet within your hearts in the same way.' All glories to that Lord, the son of Saci-devi.
5) At other times, the Lord would say, 'O friend, where shall I go, and what shall I do toattain Lord Hari?' Who will show Him to Me? Please tell me who will help me in this way'.Speaking thus, the Lord ran here and there and rolled about on the ground. Their throatsfilled with grief, the stricken devotees called out to Him. In this way the Lord caused Hismother Saci-devi, to faint. All glories to that Lord, the son of Saci-devi.
6) The reflection of the splendid beauty of the Lord is not attainable even by millions ofCupids, and with that splendor the Lord uproots the darkness of the ignorance of the age ofKali. Descending with the principal demigods, the Lord delighted the eyes of the residentsof this earth planet. All glories to that effulgent Lord, the son of Saci-devi.
7) He is like a golden mountain that scatters jewels of pure love of God. Because of Hisgreat mercy He wandered on this earth planet. That Lord, known as Visvambhara, themaintainer of the universe, inundated His own universe with the currents of the Gangesriver of tears of love of Godhead flowing from His eyes. All glories to that Lord, the son ofSaci-devi.
8) Lord Krsna said to Uddhava: 'What is the condition of Srimati Radharani now that I havecome to Mathura? Please tell me so that I may understand.' In order to fulfill His owndesire, Lord Krsna, the son of the king of Vraja, has descended as Lord Caitanya to taste themellows of His own devotional service
9) O Lord, O son of Saci-devi, O ocean of transcendental qualities, please place in Yourabode all who read these eight verses and are full of faith in Your lotus feet. Please acceptthose readers whose intelligence is pure and who follow in the footsteps of the greatdevotees headed by Srila Rupa Gosvami, who are full of great love for You.

TRANSLATION1) The glories of the Lord's daily pastimes: Devotional service to the lotus feet of SriGauranga Mahaprabhu is far beyond the perception of Lord Brahma, Lord Siva, Lord Sesa-naga and the rest; but it is continually indulged in by the Lord's own devotees, and it isalways available to other souls as well. Now I will begin my description of the process ofmanasi-seva (service to the Lord executed within the mind). This process is fit for
continuous remembrance by the most virtuous sages. Therefore I offer my most respectfulobeisances to the eternal daily life and pastimes of the Lord born in Navadvipa.
2) Brief description of his daily schedule: At the end of night (before sunrise), Lord SriCaitanya Mahaprabhu gets up from His bed, stretches His body, talks with His wife andwashes His face; (2) in the morning, He is massaged with oil and bathes in the celestialGanges river, then worships Lord Vishnu; (3) in the forenoon period, He enjoys discussingtopics about Lord Krishna with His devotees during visits to their homes; (4) at midday, Heenjoys pastimes in the gardens on the bank of the Ganges; (5) in the afternoon, He wandersabout the town of Navadvipa, sporting with all the residents; (6) at dusk, he returns home
to worship Lord Vishnu and perform other rituals; (7) in the evening, He goes with Hisassociates to the courtyard of Srivasa Pandita to chant the holy names and dance in ecstasy;(8) and at night, He returns home to go to sleep. May this Lord Gaura protect us all.
3) Period 1: pastimes at the end of the night: At the end of the night, upon hearing thepleasant sounds made by many birds such as the cuckoos, roosters, and others, Sri Gauraarises from His bed. With His wife, Sri Vishnu Priya, He discusses many topics concerningthe transcendental mellows of Their mutual loving affairs, and thus They become verypleased. Then He gets up and goes to another room, wherein He sits upon a raised sittingplace and is assisted by His devotees in washing His lotus face with nicely scented water.Thereafter, He very happily visits His mother, Sri Saci Devi, as well as other friends andrelatives in the home. I meditate thus on the daily pastimes of Sri Gaura-sundara.
4) Period 2: morning pastimes: In the morning, after sunrise, the Lord goes with Hisassociates to bathe in the Ganges river. While bathing, they also worship mother Ganges byoffering flowers, incense and other presentations. After this, they come onto the bank of theriver, where He is dressed with exquisite cloth and decorated with fresh flower garlands,sandalwood paste and other ornaments. Then they all return to His home in order toperform opulent worship of Lord Vishnu as well as other rituals, after which they partake ofthe foods which were offered to Lord Vishnu. After washing His hands and mouth, LordGaura goes into another room to rest very happily for awhile. I meditate thus on the daily
pastimes of Sri Gaura-hari.

5) Period 3: forenoon pastimes: Upon the arrival of the forenoon period the Lord gets upfrom His nap and stretches His body. Then he washes His lotus face with sweetly scentedwater. Meeting with His devotees who are all very fond of chanting Sri Hari-nama-kirtana,He personally tastes and relishes the chanting of the holy names. Thus He sports,sometimes in the homes of various devotees and sometimes in His own home. It this way
He increases the ecstatic pleasure of all the people of Nabadwip to limitless heights. Imeditate thus on the daily pastimes of Sri Gaura-chandra.
6) Period 4: midday pastimes: During the midday period, Lord Caitanya continues to enjoythe performance of intensely enthusiastic chanting and dancing, surrounded by His owndear devotees such as the moon-like Advaita Acarya, Gadadhara Pandita, and the divinemadman Srila Nityananda Prabhu. Afterwards, they all wander throughout the gardens andgroves on the bank of the Ganges, where they enjoy the sweet cooling breezes from theriver. Hearing the pleasant sounds of the bumblebees in those gardens, the Lord remembersHis own ecstatic pastimes of Radha and Krishna as they are occurring simultaneously in His
own forest of Vrndavana. I meditate thus on the daily pastimes of Sri Gauranga.
7) Period 5: afternoon pastimes: During the splendidly beautiful afternoon period, the Lordand His devotees become equally maddened in ecstatic love, and being ornamented likethis, they expand every-increasing ripples of auspicious benefit for all the three worlds. Inthis mood, they leave the gardens and travel back toward His home. On the way, theysatisfy the eyes of all the townspeople, just as the moon satisfies the cakora bird with itsmoonbeams. Reaching home, the Lord is lavished with loving attentions by His mother. Ithus meditate on the daily pastimes of Gaura.
8) Period 6: sunset pastimes: At dusk, the Lord bathes with His dear friends in the riverGanges, who flows in three parts. They devoutly worship the Ganges by offering gheelamps, flowers, and other articles. Afterwards, the Lord puts on fresh silken clothes and isadorned with flower garlands and other decorations. Then, He worships Lord Vishnu byperforming the evening arati ceremony, offering ghee lamps and other articles. Afterwards,He and His friends partake of the foodstuffs and betel nuts that were offered to LordVishnu. I thus meditate on the daily pastimes of Lord Gaurasundara.
9) Period 7: evening pastimes: In the evening time, the Lord goes to the home of SrivasaPandita, accompanied by Srila Advaita-chandra and other dear associates. Meeting with themultitude of devotees, He tastes and relishes the nectar of topics concerning Lord Hari and
His mind becomes most agitated with the ecstasies of pure love of Godhead. Then,becoming very eager to relish the congregational chanting of the holy names of the Lord,He orchestrates the performance of intensely jubilant sankirtana which attains the summitof passionate glorification of the holy names. I thus meditate on the daily pastimes of SriGaura-sundara.
10) Period 8: midnight pastimes: Continuing well into the night, the Lord dances anddances in the courtyard of Srivasa, surrounded by His most intimate devotees. His mostecstatic singing is accompanied by His devotees who are expert in playing rhythms loudlyon the mridanga drums. He wanders and dances with Sri Gadadhara Prabhu in the most
astonishing way, througout the night, until just before dawn. Then He returns to His own

home, where He retires to His bedchamber and falls asleep with His beautiful consort. Ithus meditate on the daily pastimes of Sri Gaura-nataraja.
11) The benefit of reciting this prayer: Sri Gauranga, the Moon over Navadvipa, is manifestin His own abode during eight periods of each day and every day. His pastimes should be
remembered by meditative devotees before they remember the pastimes of Sri Krishna, theMoon over Gokula. If someone lo
