(1)

narada muni, bajay vina
'radhika-ramana'-name
nama amani, udita haya,
bhakata-gita-same

[When the great soul Narada Muni plays his stringed vina, the holy name, Radhika-ramana descends and immediately appears amidst the kirtana of the Lord's devotees.]

(2)

amiya-dhara, barise ghana,
sravana-yugale giya
bhakata jana, saghane nace,
bhoriya apana hiya

[Like a monsoon cloud, the holy name showers nectar in their ears. All the devotees, due to great ecstasy, repeatedly dance to their hearts' content.]

(3)

madhuri-pura, asava pasi',
mataya jagata-jane
keho va kande, keho va nace,
keho mate mane mane

[All the people of the universe become maddened upon entering this intoxicating shower of nectar. Some people cry, some dance, and others become fully intoxicated within their minds.]

(4)

panca-vadana, narade dhori',
premera saghana rol
kamalasana, naciya bole,
'bolo bolo hari bolo'

[Lord Siva, embracing Narada Muni, repeatedly makes loud screams of ecstatic joy, and Lord Brahma, dancing very ecstatically, says, "All of you kindly chant 'Haribol! Haribol!'"]

(5)

sahasranana, parama-sukhe,
'hari hari' boli' gaya
nama-prabhave, matilo visva,
nama-rasa sabe paya

[In great happiness, thousand-faced Ananta Sesa sings chants, "Hari! Hari!" By the influence of the transcendental vibration of the holy name, the whole universe becomes ecstatically maddened, and everyone tastes the mellows of the holy name.]

(6)

sri-krsna-nama, rasane sphuri',
pura'lo amar asa
sri-rupa-pade, yacaye iha,
bhakativinoda-dasa

[Thakura Bhaktivinoda, the humble servant of the Lord, says, "The holy name of Krishna has fulfilled all my desires by vibrating on everyone's tongue. Bhaktivinoda, therefore prays at the feet of Sri Rupa Gosvami that the chanting of hari-nama may always continue like this always.]
