all the moving and unmoving beings. Hearing these
words, Lochana Dasa is now filled with bliss.

As pouring water on the root of a tree energizes the
trunk, branches, twigs, and everything else, and as
supplying food to the stomach enlivens the senses and
limbs of the body, simply worshiping the Supreme
Personality of Godhead through devotional service
automatically satisfies the demigods, who are parts of the

442. In their hearts Mother Sachi and Father
Jagannatha Mishra thought: Nine hours have passed. Why
has our son not returned? Jagannatha Mishra searched for
Him. He went to every house, but he did not find His son.
443. From person to person, from ear to ear, the news
circulated: Vishvarupa accepted sannyasa. The news went
to you and also to me. Finally hearing it himself, Father
Jagannatha Mishra fell unconscious.
444. When Sachi-devi heard it, she also fell
unconscious to the ground. For them a blinding darkness
covered the three worlds. Vishvarupa!, Sachi called out.
Son, come back. We want to gaze on you. Why did you
leave home and accept sannyasa?
445. Your limbs are so beautiful! Your feet are so
beautiful! How can you travel on long journeys, walking on
the roads? You cannot let even three hours pass without
eating. Now you will not find even a single sesame seed.
Before whom will you place your requests now?
446. Now that my son has gone there is no peace in my
heart. Moment after moment I yearn for his return. When I
go to bathe, I am not peaceful. I think: My Vishvarupa may
return.
447. When you call out mother! that sound is more
dear to me than millions and millions of treasures. When I
gaze at your face I forget myself. What sufferings did you
feel that now you throw fire at my face, that now you have
become a poverty-stricken sannyasi? I do not know.
448. O father of Vishvarupa, wherever Vishvarupa
went, go there. Go and bring my son home. Let the people
say whatever they say. Bring my son back. Again I will
arrange for His sacred-thread ceremony.
449. Then Jagannatha Mishra said: O goddess, O
Queen Sachi, please listen. Please be peaceful at heart. Dont
lament any more. This whole material world is a lie.
Vishvarupa is a very exalted person.
450. Good fortune has now come to our families.
Vishvarupa is a very good son. From childhood He was
always a sannyasi in spirit. Please give him your blessings.
Bless him that he will be always steady on the spiritual
path, that he will easily maintain his vow of sannyasa.
451. Listen. Dont think of calamity or good fortune.
Dont lament without reason. When a man accepts sannyasa
he delivers ten million of his relatives. Vishvarupa is a jewel
among men.
452. Hearing Jagannatha Mishras words, Sachi again
said: What did you say? Please say it again, O saintly one.
Jagannatha Mishra repeated: When a man accepts sannyasa
he delivers ten million of his family members. Therefore our
son has done good.
453. In this way the two of them felt both grief and joy
in their hearts. How can I describe their glories? Their good
fortune has no end. They had Vishvarupa as their son.
454. Murari Gupta then said to Damodara Pandita:
Now you have heard the story of Vishvarupa accepting
sannyasa. Repeating the conversation of those two,
Lochana Dasa sings this song glorifying Lord Vishvarupa.
455. Then, Lord Vishvambhara sat on His mothers lap.
She gazed at her dear sons face. He said: Where did my
brother go? Listen. Listen, O mother and father. I will
protect you.
456. Hearing these words, Jagannatha Mishra and
Sachi-rani hugged their son. Gazing at Lord
Vishvambharas face, they forgot all their sorrows. Lochana
Dasa recounts this story.

Fish intently bathe. Snakes eat only air. Sheep eat only
grass. The ox circling the grinding wheel always walks.
Cranes are rapt in meditation. Mice live in holes. Lions live
in the forest. A person who, without love for Lord Krishna,
practices austerities like the austerities of these animals,
attains a result like what these animals attain.

110. His eyes are red lotus flowers. His moving glances
are restless birds. He is plunged in the nectar honey of
compassion for others. His face is a full moon. Its moonlight
makes every heart weep with ecstasy. How much spiritual
love has he brought to this world?
111. The hairs on His body stand erect, hairs like the
filaments on golden kadamba flowers. His body is covered
with perspiration. His body is filled with ecstatic spiritual
love. He is is glorious like the newly risen sun. On His
conch-shell neck choked with emotion, half-spoken words
rest.
112. On His fragrant lotus feet glisten ten toenail moons
and a pair of golden anklets. He glistens like a moving
lightning flash. He fills the demigods with wonder.
113. In the midst of the seven continents of the earth
rest the nine islands of Navadvipa. In Navadvipa Lord
Gaura-Hari manifests ecstatic spiritual love. Chanting the
holy names of Lord Hari, Lord Gaura-Hari fills with bliss
the land and sky.
114. He is graceful like a lion cub. His deep voice is like
thundering rainclouds. He is tossed by the waves in the
ocean of spiritual love. He chants: Hari! Haribol! He
makes the whole world overcome with bliss. On both sides
the saintly girls drink the sight of Him.
115. His limbs are effulgent like glistening lamps or like
the shining sun. His pastimes are glorious. His graceful
form defeats ten million Kamadevas grasping bows and
arrows of flowers. He has brought ecstatic spiritual love to
this world.
116. The graceful sandal-paste moons on His face
defeated hundreds of thousands of full moons in the sky.
The swiftly flowing streams of tears from the corners of His
eyes gave to the people of the world, people bewildered
from birth, the gift of ecstatic spiritual love.
117. He was graceful like an intoxicated elephant. He
was overcome with ecstatic love. Gazing at Him, everyone
became filled with wonder. He charmed the beautiful girls.
Gazing at Him, they forgot their homes. Gazing at Him,
they became filled with the longings of Kamadeva.
118. How can I speak any metaphors or similes to
describe my Gaura Raya? His graceful form was filled with
kindness. He filled the people of Nadiya with such ecstatic
spiritual love they no longer knew whether it was day or
night. Lochana Dasa joyfully sings this song.

114. Everyone please carefully listen as I tell the
wonderful story of another days pastimes.
115. Lord Gaura, who is an ocean of mercy, a
kalpavriksa tree of loving devotional service, and the
shiksha-guru (instructing teacher) of all the worlds, taught
everyone in the world.
116-119. He acted in such a way as to teach His
followers. Taking with Him Advaita Acharya, Srivasa,
Haridasa, Murari, Mukunda, Gadadhara, Shuklambara,
Rama, Narahari, Raghunandana, Sri Mukunda Dasa, Vasu
Ghosha, Jagadananda, and all the devotees, with a joyful
heart Lord Gaura went to the temple of Lord Krishna.
120. Wearing a kaupina and carrying a broom and
dustpan on His shoulder, Lord Gaura was surrounded by
His associates.
121. Each of the Lords followers was dressed in this
way. Each had his hair tied. Each held a broom and dustpan
in his hands or resting on his shoulders.
122. In this way Lord Gaura went to clean the temple.
Never have I heard of such wonderful pastimes.
123. Having become sweepers for Lord Krishna, the
Vaishnavas went from door to door gathering recruits. In
this way the Vaishnavas assembled and cleaned the temple.
124. By His example Lord Gaura thus taught the people
of the world. Everyone please worship Him. He is
supremely wise.
125. He is the giver of pure love and devotion. No one
is like Him. Aware of these truths, please worship Lord
Gaurangas feet.
126. How many avataras descend to this world yuga
after yuga? They are all manifest from Lord Gaura.
127. No one is like Him. He is the Supreme Lord, the
supreme master. To teach the world how to engage in
devotional service, He carried a broom and dustpan on His
shoulder.
128. He rarely descends to this world. He does not
come in every chatur-yuga. Still, He went from house to
house and begged the people to engage in devotional
service.
129. He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the
Supreme Master. This I say to the devotees: No one is His
equal.
130. Without considering who is worthy and who not
worthy to receive it, to everyone Lord Gaura happily gave
the great treasure of Vrindavana.
131. Lord Gaura begged everyone to accept the feelings
of pure spiritual love, love that is beyond the pious and
impious deeds of this world. In this way Sachis son
delivered everyone.
132. Neither Brahma, Shiva, Lakshmi, nor Ananta
Shesha have the power to describe all of Lord Gauras
glories.
133. With their words they have no power to describe
all of Lord Gauras glories, for Lord Gauras glories are
beyond the conception of the material mind.
134. O my brothers, please worship Lord Gauras
glories. Please do not neglect them. Simply by worshiping
Lord Gaura everyone will escape this world of repeated
birth and death.
135. Lord Gaura is the Supreme Personality of
Godhead. There is no one like Him. I, Lochana Dasa,
declare: All the avataras are manifest from Lord Gaura.

(Vibhasa raga - Tarjjabandha)
Refrain: O! O! O! O!
135. Everyone please hear. This world of birth and
death is very horrible. It is filled with danger and
uncertainty. The dangerous sense objects are filled with
poison, poison that makes My heart burst into flames.
136. Whatever the senses command, everyone does.
No one can turn away from material desires. The people
think material pleasures are eternally new and fresh. Never
will they give them up.
137. Lust, greed, and illusion never spare the people.
Illusion, pride, and anger rob the peoples hearts. Not for a
single sesame seeds worth of time will the people turn
from these and become enlightened.
138. The people are imprisoned in this external world.
They wander in the world of illusions. Thinking only of
family and caste, they forget Krishna. Wandering and
wandering, and filled with material desires, they commit
many sins.
139. They gaze at the wonders of this world, wonders
behind which hides Lord Krishna. It is only with great effort
that one attains a human birth, a birth where one can
worship Lord Krishna.
140. It is only with great difficulty that one attains this
rare human birth. In such a birth one should worship Lord
Krishna. A soul who attains a human body but turns away
from Lord Krishna perishes. He falls into a world of
illusions.
141. Everyone please hear. I will describe what is in
My heart. Please give this blessing to Me. Bless Me that I
will attain love for Lord Krishna, and that I will be freed
from the sufferings of this world. This blessing I beg of you
all.
142. Please always sing songs of Lord Krishnas
pastimes. With your eyes gaze at His lotus face. Hold His
feet in your hearts.
143. What will I do? I cannot see Lord Krishna.
Separated from Krishna, my heart has burst into flames. I
am drowning in the ocean of repeated birth and death. My
heart is tortured with sufferings.
144. The devotees should tell others that Lord Krishna
is the true father, the true mother, the true God, the true
teacher, the true friend. The devotees should speak about
Lord Krishna. They should worship Lord Krishnas feet.
145. You are all my friends. You are all great
Vaishnavas. Please do not stop your hearts from giving
mercy to me. I will accept sannyasa. For everyones benefit I
will freely distribute ecstatic spiritual love.
146. After speaking these words, Lord Vishvambhara
rolled on the ground. His hair became disheveled. His fair
limbs became covered with dust.
147. Hari! Hari! He loudly called. Heavily He
breathed through His nostrils. From head to foot the hairs of
His body stood erect. His voice choked with emotion, He
spoke in half words.
148. One moment He wept. One moment He was filled
with grief. One moment His eyes were filled with wonder.
One moment He joyfully leapt into the air. One moment His
body trembled. One moment He was overwhelmed by
feelings of separation from Lord Krishna.
149. One moment He called out, Vrindavana! One
moment He called out, Radha! One moment He slapped
His arms and called out, Hari! Hari! One moment He
struck His hand to His chest.
150. Seeing all this, everyone became anxious at heart.
What more can I say? Everyone was plunged in an ocean of
sorrow.
151. Then Murari said: Please hear, O Lord Gaura-
Hari. You are supremely independent in every way. To teach
the people of the world You kindly manifest these sorrows
of separation from Lord Krishna.
152. Whatever You wish in Your heart You will
certainly do. What more can I say? You know everything.
Every souls destiny is controlled by You.
153. Individual souls like myself do not know what
the future holds. We are like flies or ants. You are an ocean
of mercy, the friend of all. Please do what You think is best.
154. Hearing these words, Lord Gaura smiled and
embraced everyone. Manifesting ecstatic spiritual love, He
addressed everyone. He spoke these words of
enlightenment:
155. Everyone please hear the words I speak. Please
do not doubt them. Wherever I go, I will always stay with
you. Please know that for certain.
156. Bidding farewell to all, Lord Gaura returned to His
own home. In His heart He had already accepted sannyasa.
This His mother did not know.
157. Sachis heart throbbed. For her there was no peace.
Lochana Dasa says: How can anyone willingly leave the
association of Lord Gaura, who is like an ocean of spiritual
love?
