Translation

As the moon-like Lord Gaurāṅga appeared in Gauḍadeśa,
such love of God, which is like fresh nectar and is very
hard to obtain, although desired by the greatest sages
such as Lord Brahmā and yet to be comprehended even
by Lakṣmī and others, has attained plenitude in this Kali-
yuga. Now even foolish and sinful people, down to the
dog eaters, have obtained such burning love of God. Is
this not wonderful?
