উদিল অরুণ পূরব ভাগে,
দ্বিজমণি গোরা অমনি জাগে,
ভকতসমূহ লইয়া সাথে,
গেলা নগরব্রাজে
‘তাথই তাথইঽ বাজল খোল,
ঘন ঘন তাহে ঝাঞ্জের রোল,
প্রেমে ঢল ঢল সোনার অঙ্গ,
চরণে নূপুর বাজে ১

ghana ghana tāhe jhā̃jera rola,

When the reddish sun began to rise on the eastern horizon, Śrī Gaurāṅga, the jewel among the twice-born, at once awoke. Taking His devotees with Him, He went into the towns and villages of Navadvīpa. “Tāthai, tāthai,” the mṛdaṅgas resounded, and the karatālas played in time. Overflowing with prema, Śrī Gaurāṅga’s golden limbs swayed gracefully, causing the ankle bells (nūpura) on His feet to jingle.

পাইয়া কি কর, ভাবনা কেহ,
এবে না ভজিলে যশোদাসুত,
চরমে পḓইবে লাজে ২
