Chapter 1 Text 56
ei dhuya-gane nacena dvitiya prahara
krsna lana vraje yai -- e-bhava antara
TRANSLATION
Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu used to sing this song [seita parana-natha] especially during the latter part of the day, and He would think, "Let Me take Krsna and go back to Vrndavana." This ecstasy was always filling His heart.
Text 57
ei bhave nrtya-madhye pade eka sloka
sei slokera artha keha nahi bujhe loka
TRANSLATION
In that ecstasy, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu recited a verse when dancing in front of Lord Jagannatha. Almost no one could understand the meaning of that verse.
Text 58
yah kaumara-harah sa eva hi varas ta eva caitra-ksapas
te conmilita-malati-surabhayah praudhah kadambanilah
sa caivasmi tathapi tatra surata-vyapara-lila-vidhau
reva-rodhasi vetasi-taru-tale cetah samutkanthate
TRANSLATION
"That very personality who stole away my heart during my youth is now again my master. These are the same moonlit nights of the month of Caitra. The same fragrance of malati flowers is there, and the same sweet breezes are blowing from the kadamba forest. In our intimate relationship, I am also the same lover, yet still my mind is not happy here. I am eager to go back to that place on the bank of the Reva under the Vetasi tree. That is my desire."
Text 59
ei slokera artha jane ekale svarupa
daive se vatsara tahan giyachena rupa
TRANSLATION
This verse appears to be the hankering between some ordinary boy and girl, but its actual deep meaning was known only to Svarupa Damodara. By chance, one year Rupa Gosvami was also present there.
Text 60
prabhu-mukhe loka suni' sri-rupa-gosani
sei slokera artha-sloka karila tathai
TRANSLATION
Although the meaning of the verse was known only to Svarupa Damodara, Rupa Gosvami, after hearing it from Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, immediately composed another verse that described the meaning of the original verse. -->
