SVA 2: Gaura-ārati (kiba jaya jaya gorācānder āratiko śobhā)

All glories, all glories to the beautiful arati ceremony of Lord Caitanya. Lord Caitanya's beautiful form on the bank of the Jahnavi (Ganges) attracts all the living entities of the universe.

On His right side is Lord Nityananda, and on His left side is Sri Gadadhara. On either side stand Lord Sri Advaita and Srinivasa who holds an umbrella over Lord Caitanya's head.

Lord Caitanya is seated on a golden throne. The arati ceremony is performed by Lord Brahma, and all the other demigods are present.

Lord Caitanya's associates like Narahari and others fan Him with a whisk, and Mukunda and Vasu Ghosh are the expert singers that lead everyone in kirtana.

The sounds of the conchshell, cymbals, and sweet mrdahga are very relishable to hear.

Lord Caitanya's face shines like many, many millions of moons, and His garland of forest flowers also shines.

Lord Siva, Sukadeva Gosvami, and Narada Muni are there, and their voices are choked with transcendental loving symptoms. Bhaktivinoda Thakura says: "Just see the opulence of Lord Caitanya!"
