Composed by Unknown

1
sundara-bālā śacī-dulālā nācata śrī-hari-kīrtana meń bhāle candana tilaka manohara alakā śobhe kapolana meń
भावार्थThis gorgeous boy is the darling child of mother Saci, dancing in the kirtana of chanting Lord Hari’s names. His forehead is adorned with drawings of sandalwood paste, and His enchanting locks of hair are shining splendrously as they bounce upon His cheeks.
2
śire cūḍā daraśi bāle vana-phula-mālā hiyāpara dole pahirana pīta-piṭāmbara śobhe nūpura ruṇu-jhunu caraṇon meń
भावार्थHis hair is wrapped in a topknot, and a garland of forest flowers sways upon His chest. Wearing brilliant yellow silken garments, He dances with ankle bells tinkling upon His feet.
3
rādhā-kṛṣṇa eka tanu hai nidhuvana-mājhe baṁśī bājāy viśvarūpa ki prabhujī sahi āota prakaṭahi nadīyā meń
भावार्थSri Sri Radha and Krsna have become joined in one body, and together They play a flute within the grove of Nidhuvana. In this mood, the Lord of Visvarupa has come and manifested Himself in the town of Nadiya.
4
koi gāyata hai rādhā-kṛṣṇa nām koi gāyata hai hari-guṇa gān mańgala-tāna mṛdańga rasāla bājata hai koi rańgaṇa meń
भावार्थSomeone in that kirtana sings the names of Radha and Krsna, someone else sings Songs of Lord Hari’s transcendental qualities, while others play the auspicious rhythms of the sweet and relishable mrdanga drums. All this takes place in that spectacular performance.
