Gharere A Ila Prabhu Ratna LaiNa

gharere ā-ila prabhu ratna laiÑā mātṛ sthāne dila dhana haraṣita haiÑā

Lord Gaura returns home with many jewels. To mother Śacī He happily gives the wealth He had brought.

namaskāra kari prabhu nehāre badana birasa badana śacī nā kahe bacana

Lord Gaura bows down before her and gazes at her face. He face drawn and withered, Śacī speaks not a word.

prabhu kahe kena mātā birasa badana tomāre mailna dekhi poḍe mora mana

Lord Gaura says, "Mother, why is your face so drawn and withered? When I see your face so sad, My heart bursts into flames.

e bola śuniyā śacī gadagada bhāṣa jharaye āṅkhira nīra bhija hoya bāsa

Hearing these words, Śacī speaks some broken words in a choked voice. Tears stream from her eyes and wet the cloth over her heart.

kahite nā pāre kichu sa-karuṇa kaṇṭha kahila āmāra badhū calila baikuṇṭha

She has no power to speak. Grief fills her throat. Finally she says, "My daughter-in-law has gone to Vaikuṇṭha."

prabhu kahe śoka teji śuna mora mātā nirbandha nā ghuce se-i likhana bidhātā

Lord Gaura says, "Renounce your grief. O mother, please hear My words. No one can destroy his destiny, the destiny Lord Brahmā writes on his forehead."

putrera bacana śacī śuni sābadhāne śoka nā karila kichu na karila mane

Carefully listening to her son's words, Śacī did not lament. She did not lament in her heart.

kahaye locana dāsa śunaha caritra lakśmī swarge ārohana biśwambhara saṅgīta

Locana dāsa says: Please hear this pastime, the pastime of Lakṣmīpriyā's ascent to Vaikuṇṭha. In this way I have sung of Lord Viśvambhara's pastimes.
