Gauḍadeśa; gaura-sudhākare – moon-like Gaurāṅga;

Translation
As the moon-like Lord Gaurāṅga appeared in Gauḍadeśa,
lame men cross the greatest mountains, sprouts germinate
without seeds, and even blind men become endowed
with divine vision. Suddenly, steady joy beyond measure
produces a feeling of freedom from all distress. Is this not
wonderful?
