navadvipe krishnam purata-ruciram bhava-valitam

     mridangadyair yantraih svajana-sahitam kirtana-param

sadopasyam sarvaih kali-mala-haram bhakta-sukha-dam

     bhajamas tam nityam sravana-mananadyarcana-vidhau

 

shri radhara bhave jini suvarna varana,

sangopange navadvipe yanra sankirtana

kalite upasya sei krishna gaurahari,

navadha bhaktite tanre upasana kari

 

Translation by Swami Gaurangapada:“By hearing of Him, meditating on Him, worshiping His Deity, and performing many other activities, let us worship Lord Krishna who-His complexion now as splendid as gold (Gaurahari), being overcome with ecstatic love, intently engaged in tumultous kirtana, surrounded by His intimate associates playing mridangas and other musical instruments, eternally worshiped by all, removing all the contamination of Kali-yuga, and giving happiness to the devotees-has now appeared in Navadvipa.
