Purabe Bandhala Cuda Ebe Kesa Hina lyrics

purabe bandhala cuda ebe kesa-hina nata-bara-besa chadi parila kaupina

purabe bandhala cuda ebe kesa-hina nata-bara-besa chadi parila kaupina

पुरबे बन्धल चुद एबे केसहिन नतबरबेस छदि परिल कौपिन

Formerly His hair was bound in a topknot. Now He has no hair. Rejecting His colorful garments of a dancing actor, now He wears a sannyasi’s kaupina.

gabhi dohana bhanda chila bama kare karanga dharila gora se-i anusare

gabhi dohana bhanda chila bama kare karanga dharila gora se-i anusare

गभि दोहन भन्द छिल बम करे करन्ग धरिल गोर सेइ अनुसरे

Formerly He carried a pot for milking cows. Now He carries a sannyasi’s waterpot. Now His complexion is fair.

tretaya dharila dhanu dvaparete bamsi kali-yuge danda dhari ha-ila sannyasi

tretaya dharila dhanu dvaparete bamsi kali-yuge danda dhari ha-ila sannyasi

त्रेतय धरिल धनु द्वपरेते बम्सि कलियुगे दन्द धरि हैल सन्न्यसि

In Treta-yuga He carried an archer’s bow (in the form of Sri Rama). In Dvapara-yuga He carried a flute (Sri Krsna). In Kali-yuga He carries a danda (Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu). Now He is a sannyasi.

balarama kahe suna nadiya-nibasi balarama abadhuta kana-i sannyasi

balarama kahe suna nadiya-nibasi balarama abadhuta kana-i sannyasi

बलरम कहे सुन नदियनिबसि बलरम अबधुत कनै सन्न्यसि

Balarama dasa says: O residents of Nadiya, please hear. Balarama has become an avadhuta, and Krsna has become a sannyasi.
