Āju Ki Ānanda Nadīyā Nagare Jagā I Mādhā I Dohe Dekhibāre

What bliss has come to Nadīyā-nagara! From the four directiuons the men and women run to see Jagai and Madhai. What do they not say amongst themselves? Privately someone says, “Look! Look! They are effulgent like the sun! Where went their bodies made of so many sins?”

Someone else says, “Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! They are overcome with the ecstasy of spiritual love! They weep. Flooding rivers of tears flow from their eyes. They have no power to restrain themselves.” Someone else says, “Look! They tremble. The hairs on their bodies stand erect. They fall and roll on the ground. Their bodies are covered with dust. Now they are unconscious.”

Someone else says, “In how much bliss do they float as they gaze at Lord Gaura’s moonlike face? The nectar of Lord Gaura’s smile makes them wild with bliss. Rolling on the ground, they fall before Lord Gaura’s feet.” Someone else says, “Look! How much anguish do they feel when they see Lord Nitāicandra? They touch His feet. They bathe His feet with the tears from their eyes.”

Someone else says, “Blossoming with bliss, they approach Tapasvī Advaita, Gadādhara, Śrīvāsa and many others. From every one of them they take the dust of their feet.” Someone else says, “Repentent at heart, holding a blade of straw between their teeth, and extending their arms, they approach the associates of Narahari’s master and beg, “Please give mercy to us.”
