Worship of the Golden Avatara

(kiba) jaya jaya goracander aratiko sobha
jahnavi-tata-vane jaga-mana-lobha
jaga-jana-mana-lobha

(First Refrain)

gaurahger arotik sobha
jaga-jana-mana-lobha

[All glories, all glories to the beautiful arati ceremony of Lord Caitanya! This Gaura-arati is being performed in a grove on the bank of the Ganges and is captivating everyone in the universe.]

dakhine nitaicand, bame gadadhara
nikate adwaita, srinivasa chatra-dhara

[On Lord Caitanya's right is Lord Nityananda, and on His left is Sri Gadadhara. Nearby stands Sri Advaita, and Srivasa Thakura holds an umbrella over Lord Caitanya's head.]

bosiyache goracand ratna-simhasane
arati koren brahma-adi deva-gane

[Lord Caitanya has sat down on a jeweled throne, and Lord Brahma and the other demigods are performing His arati.]

narahari-adi kori' camara dhulaya
sanjaya-mukunda-basu-ghos-adi gaya

[Narahari Sarakara and other associates of Lord Caitanya fan Him with camaras, Sanjaya Panḍita, Mukunda Datta, Vasu Ghosa and other devotees sing sweet kirtana.]

sahkha baje ghanta baje baje karatala
madhura mrdahga baje parama rasala

(Second Refrain)

sankha baje ghanta baje
madhur madhur madhur baje

[Conchshells, bells, and karatalas resound, and the mrdahgas play very sweetly. This kirtana music is supremely sweet and relishable to hear.]

bahu-koti candra jini' vadana ujjvala
gala-dese bana-mala kore jhalamala

[The brilliance of Lord Caitanya's face conquers millions upon millions of moons, and the garland of forest flowers around His neck shines.]

siva-suka-narada preme gada-gada
bhakativinoda dekhe gorara sampada

[Lord Siva, Sukadeva Gosvami, and Narada Muni are all present, and their voices are choked with the great ecstasy of transcendental love. Thus Thakura Bhaktivinoda envisions the glory of Lord Sri Caitanya.]
