Gītā-mālā

(1)
śrīvāsa-vacana śravaṇa kariyā
sādhvī pati-vratā-gaṇa
śoka parihari’ mṛta-śiśu smari’
hari-rase dilā mana

Hearing the words of Śrīvāsa, all the chaste and faithful ladies gave up their lamentation for the deceased child and fixed their minds in the rasa of Śrī Hari.

(2)
śrīvāsa takhana ānande mātiyā
aṅgane āila punaḥ
nāce gaura-sane sakala pāsari’
gāya nanda-suta-guṇa

Then Śrīvāsa, intoxicated with joy, again came into the courtyard. Forgetting everything, he danced with Lord Gaura and sang the glories of the Son of Nanda.

(3)
cāri daṇḍa rātre mārila kumāra
aṅgane keha nā jāne
śrī-nāma-maṅgale tṛtīya prahara
rajanī atīta gāne

The child had passed away about one and a half hours after nightfall, yet no one in the courtyard knew due to the continuous kīrtana. For three praharas the night passed completely in the auspicious chanting of the holy name.

(4)

kīrtana bhaṅgile kahe gaura-hari
āji kena pāi duḥkha
bujhi ei gṛhe kichu amaṅgala
ghaṭiyā harila sukha

When the kīrtana was interrupted, Gaura Hari said, “Why do I feel sorrow today? I sense that some inauspicious event has occurred in this house, taking away My joy.”

(5)
tabe bhakta-jana nivedana kare
śrīvāsa-śiśura kathā
śuni’ gaura-rāya bale hāya hāya
marame pāinu vyathā

Then the devotees informed Him of the passing of Śrīvāsa’s son. Hearing this, Gaura-rāya exclaimed, “Alas! Alas! My heart is pierced with unbearable pain.”

(6)
keno nā kahile āmāre takhana
vipada-saṁvāda sabe
bhaktivinoda bhakta-vātsala
snehete mājila tabe

“Why did you not inform Me immediately of this misfortune?” Thus Bhaktivinoda becomes absorbed in the loving compassion of the Lord for His devotees.
