TEXT 8

nārada-vīṇojjīvana
sudhormi-niryāsa-mādhurī-pūra
tvaḿ kṛṣṇa-nāma kāmaḿ
sphura me rasane rasena sadā

O kṛṣṇa-nāma! When You manifest from Nārada Muni’s vīṇā, You become a condensed sweet flood in the form of nectarean waves. Please constantly appear directly on my tongue.

SONG 8

(1)
nārada muni, bājāya vīṇā,
‘rādhikā-ramana’ nāme
nāma amani, udita haya,
bhakata-gīta-sāme

Nārada Muni plays his vīṇā and sings the names of ‘Rādhikā-Ramaṇa.’ The Holy Name appears immediately as the devotees sing the Sāma hymns.

(2)
amiya-dhārā, bariṣe ghana,
śravana-yugale giyā
bhakata-jana, saghane nāce,
bhariyā āpana hiyā

A thick shower of nectar rains down into their ears, and the devotees dance in ecstasy to their heart’s content.

(3)
mādhurī-pūra, asaba paśi’,
mātāya jagata-jane
keha vā kānde, keha vā nāce,
keha māte mane mane

A flood of this ambrosial nectar intoxicates the inhabitants of the universe. Some of them weep, some of them dance and some become intoxicated within their minds.

(4)
pañca-vadana, nārade dhari’,
premera saghana rola
kamalāsana, nāciyā bale,
‘bala bala hari-bola’

The five-faced Śiva embraces Nārada and shouts in great ecstasy. Kamalāsana (Brahmā) dances and exclaims, “Chant! Chant! Haribol!'”

(5)
sahasrānana, parama-sukhe,
‘hari hari’ bali’ gāya
nāma-prabhāve, mātila viśva,
nāma-rasa sabe pāya

In supreme ecstasy, the thousand-headed Ananta sings and calls out, “Hari! Hari!” By the influence of the Holy Name, the whole universe becomes intoxicated as everyone tastes nāma-rasa (the mellows of the Holy Name).

(6)
śrī-kṛṣṇa-nāma, rasane sphuri’,
purā’la āmāra āśa
śrī-rūpa-pade, yācaye ihā,
bhakativinoda-dāsa

Directly manifesting on the tongue, śrī kṛṣṇa-nāma fulfills all my desires. This humble servant Bhaktivinoda, begs for this at the feet of Śrī Rūpa.

Nāma Māhātmya samāpta

Thus ends this glorification of the Holy Name.
