ye ānila premadhana

GV47Gaurāṅga with His AssociatesLamenting in Separation

যে আনিল প্রেমধন করুণা প্রচুর

হেন প্রভু কোথাঽ গেলা আচার্য ঠাকুর ১

ye ānila premadhana karuṇā pracura

hena prabhu kothā’ gelā ācārya ṭhākura 1

yewho; ānilabrought; premadhanathe treasure of divine love; karuṇācompassion; pracuraprofuse; henasuch; prabhua master; kothā’where; gelāgone; ācārya ṭhākuraŚrī Śrīnivāsa Ācārya (according to some this refers to Advaita Ācārya). NOTE: According to the Gauḓīya Vaiṣṇava Abhidhāna Śrīnivāsa Ācārya disappeared in 1610 and Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura disappeared in 1611 so it is possible that Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura wrote this song at the end of his manifest pastimes in this world

He who brought the treasure of prema, out of his great compassion––where has such a venerable personality as Śrī Śrīnivāsa Ācārya gone?

I shall dash my head upon a stone or enter into fire! Oh, where should I go to find Gaurāṅga, the treasure-house of all divine qualities?

Unable to obtain the association of that Śrī Śrīnivāsa Ācārya, who performed pastimes with the associates of Mahāprabhu, Narottama dāsa weeps.
