Kabe Gaura Vane

TRANSLATION

1) When, oh when will I wander here and there, weeping under the shade of the trees and creepers
along the banks of the celestial Ganges River in Navadvipa? I will cry out "Oh Radhe! Oh Krsna!", and I
will completely forget about all the so-called pleasures of this material body.

2) When will I be able to live so simply by begging some food from the homes of the untouchables who
live here and there? I will drink the water of the Sarasvati, and in ecstasy I will roll to and fro on the
banks of the river, raising a loud uproar of "Krsna! Krsna!"

3) When will I bow down to all the inhabitants of the holy land of Navadvipa and receive a bit of
their causeless mercy? I will smear the dust of the Vaisnavas' lotus feet all over my body, and I will
wear the dress of a mad wandering mendicant.

4) When I factually observe that the transcendental land of Navadvipa is non different from Sri
Vraja-bhumi, then I shall be transformed into a Vrajabasi also. Then I will see the true form of
the transcendental realm opening up before my very eyes, and I will thus become one of the
maidservants of Srimati Radharani.
