purnojjvalat-prema-rasaika-murtir

     yatraiva radha-valito harir me

tad eva gaura-sthalam ashritanam

     bhavet param bhakti-rahasya-labhah

 

purnojjvala prema-murti radha bhavamaya,

yatha krishna navadvipe sakshat udaya

sei gaura-sthalashrita haya yei jana,

subhakti-rahasya tara eka matra dhana

 

Translation by Swami Gaurangapada:

 

“The secret treasure of pure unalloyed devotional service is very easily achieved by those who take shelter of Lord Gaura's sacred place of Navadvipa. Here Lord Hari assumes a golden transcendental form (Gaura), in the mood of Shri Radha, which is the personification of splendid and divine loving mellows.
