Translation
As the moon-like Lord Gaurāṅga appeared in Gauḍadeśa,
the sweetness of the narrations of Lord Kṛṣṇa’s pastimes,
which gives complete happiness, and which in a long
period of time was lost in a secluded place of pastimes
in Vṛndāvana, has thus become well-known. Exclaiming
‘Govinda! Govinda!,’ the daughter of Bhānu Mahārāja
Herself has now appeared as a messenger. Is this not
wonderful?
