In the past He bore marks of red from the kunkuma on the gopis’ breasts. Now a saffron garment decorates His limbs. In the past He was delighted by Srimati Radharani’s sweet touch. Now His fair body rebukes the splendor of gold.

yo braja-badhu-gana dadha-bhuja-bandhana abirata rahata agora so tanu pulake purita asa dhara dhara nayane galaye prema-lora

यो ब्रजबधुगन दधभुजबन्धन अबिरत रहत अगोर सो तनु पुलके पुरित अस धर धर नयने गलये प्रेमलोर
In the past He was tightly bound by the vraja-gopis’ arms. Now He is always overcome with the ecstasy of a devotee’s spiritual love. Now the hairs of His body stand erect in spiritual love. Now tears of spiritual love stream from His eyes.
- Verse 3
yo nata-bara ghana-syama kalebara banda-bipina-bihari kahaye balarama nata-bara so aba akincana ghare ghare prema-bhikhari
yo nata-bara ghana-syama kalebara banda-bipina-bihari kahaye balarama nata-bara so aba akincana ghare ghare prema-bhikhari
यो नतबर घनस्यम कलेबर बन्दबिपिनबिहरि कहये बलरम नतबर सो अब अकिन्चन घरे घरे प्रेमभिखरि
He was the graceful dancer whose body was dark like a monsoon cloud, the dancer who enjoyed pastimes in Vrndavana Forest. Balarama dasa says: That best of dancers has now become a penniless sannyasi. Now He goes from house to house begging everyone to give the alms that they will fall in love with Lord Krsna.
