  1. Verse 1

    gāite govinda-nām, upajilo bhāva-grām, dekhilām jamunāra kūle bṛṣabhānu-sutā-saṅge, śyāma-naṭa-bara raṅge, bāṅśarī bājāya nīpa-mūle

    gaite govinda-nam, upajilo bhava-gram, dekhilam jamunara kule brsabhanu-suta-sange, syama-nata-bara range, bansari bajaya nipa-mule

    गाइते गोविन्दनाम्, उपजिलो भावग्राम्, देखिलाम जमुनार कूले बृषभानुसुतासङ्गे, श्यामनटबर रङ्गे, बाङ्शरी बाजाय नीपमूले

    Upon singing the holy name of Govinda, a host of ecstasies arose within me... and I saw Lord Syamasundara, the best of dancing actors, standing on the banks of the Yamuna in the company of the daughter of Maharaja Vrsabhanu. He was playing His flute with great delight at the base of a kadamba tree.

  2. Verse 2

    dekhiyā yugala-dhana, asthira hoilo mana, jñāna-hārā hoinu takhon koto-kṣane nāhi jāni, jñāna-labha hoilo māni, āra nāhi bhelo daraśan

    dekhiya yugala-dhana, asthira hoilo mana, jnana-hara hoinu takhon koto-ksane nahi jani, jnana-labha hoilo mani, ara nahi bhelo darasan

    देखिया युगलधन, अस्थिर होइलो मन, ज्ञानहारा होइनु तखोन कोतोक्षने नाहि जानि, ज्ञानलभ होइलो मानि, आर नाहि भेलो दरशन

    Seeing the treasured Divine Couple of Vraja, my mind became unsteady and I lost consciousness. I do not know for how long I was unconscious, but when I awoke that vision of Radha and Krsna was no longer present.
