TRANSLATION
(Refrain)
Look! Look at Lord Gaura's wonderful pastimes! As in
the past He lifted Govardhana Hill. So again He
lifted it in Navadvipa and Nilacala.
1)
As the people of the world were worshiping Kali-yuga,
Lord Gaura taught them to worship instead the Govardhana Hill of pure devotional service. That hill has
nine parts, beginning with the part of hearing the Lord's glories. On that hill
are many kalpa-taru trees whose fruits are the five rasas.
2)
The grass on that hill is the devotees’ bodily hairs standing erect in ecstasy.
The streams on that hill are the tears that flow from the devotees’ yearning
hearts. The gentle breezes blowing by that hill are the devotees’ trembling in ecstasy. Using their own senses as
the paraphernalia of worship, the people woprshiped
that Govardhana Hill of devotional service. At the
end they attained their desired boon, the jewels of ecstatic spiritual love.
3)
Seeing what the people of the world had done, the King Indra
of Kali-yuga trembled with rage. Taking with him the Airavata elephant of impiety, the Queen Indrani
of wicked thoughts, and the great hosts of his armies, that Indra
came to this world.
4)
As the clouds of lust showered torrents of rain and the thunderbolts of anger
fell, the people of the world became afraid. As hailstones of greed an illusion
fell and a sharp hurricane wind of envy and other vices blew, the people's
peacefulness flew away.
5)
Aware of the calamity that had fallen on the people,
merciful Lord Gauranga thought and thought, trying to
find a solution. Deciding that to life the life of a devotee is the best
solution, He lifted the Govardhana Hill of devotional
service.
6)
When the people took shelter under that hill, their suffering and lamentation
fled far away. Their fear of Kali-yuga was broken
into pieces. The embarrassed King Indra
of Kali-yuga was defeated and he spoke many prayers
before Lord Krsna’s lotus feet.
7)
Now humbled, he asked forgiveness. He was an individual soul taking shelter of
the Supreme Lord. He said, “O Lord, I praise Your
glories. Please do not punish me. You are the Supreme Truth. This I know for
certain."
8)
Then Lord Gauranga gave mercy to him. That is why
Kali-yuga is known as a fortunate and glorious time.
In this world to this day Kali-yuga is famous in this
way. Caitanya dasa says:
Yuga after yuga, manifesting
this pastime like the lifting of Govardhana Hill, the
Lord delivers the fallen souls.
