Caudike Mahānta Meli Karaye Kīrtana Keli

From the four directions the great souls assemble and enjoy pastimes of kīrtana. Together they sing many songs. From the four directions the sounds of fourteen kholas seem to break the sky. Gazing at Lord Jagannātha, everyone is filled with bliss.

Lord Nityānanda, Lord Advaitacandra Acārya, Śrīvāsa Paṇḍita, and Haridāsa Ṭhākura are wild with bliss. In the midst of a circle of devotees, Lord Gaura-Hari dances.

Lord Gaura-Hari chants, ñHari! Haribol!” His dancing footsteps make the earth tremble. A flood of tears streams from His eyes. He plays in the waves of ecstatic spiritual love. His glorious body defeats golden Mount Sumeru. He manifests the eight sāttvika-bhāva ecstasies.

Filled with ecstasy, Lord Gaura dances and dances as He walks. Slowly slowly Lord Jagannātha travels in His ratha. Seeing Lord Gaura-Hari enjoy pastimes of prema-kīrtana with His personal associates, every person feels his heart filled with bliss and wonder.

Suffering and sadness have fled far away. Every moving and unmoving being, including even the birds and beasts, float in an ocean of ecstatic spiritual love. Yadu dāsa says: These pastimes of ecstatic spiritual love have no peer. Anyone who sees them will bear witness to this truth.
