Bada Abatara Bha I Bada Abatara

baḍa abatāra bhā-i baḍa abatāra patitera bilā-ola premera bhāṇḍāra

He is a great avatāra! O my brothers He is a great avatāra! To the fallen people of the world He gave the treasure-house of ecstatic spiritual love.

aparūpa gorācāndera līlā rājā haiyā kāndhe kare baiśṇabera dolā

Lord Gauracandra’s pastimes are wonderful. He is glorious like a king. Staggering in ecstasy He steadies Himself by holding a Vaiśṇava’s shoulders.

hena abatārera upamā dite nāri saṅkīrtanera mājhe nāce kulera bauhārī

No other avatāra is like Him.

sarba-loka chāḍe yāre aparasa bali deba-gaṇa māge āge tāra pada-dhūli

Those whom all people shun as untouchable, the demigods beg first for the dust of their feet.

yabaneha nāce gāya laya hari-nāma hena abatāre se baṇcita balarāma

Even the yavanas dance, sing and chant the holy name of Hari, yet from such an incarnation only Balarama (dasa) is deprived.
