Sri Sri Gaura Govinda

Vasudeva Ghosa has written this song “Sonari Puraba Lila”. The official name of this song is Sri Sri Gaura Govinda. In this song, Vasudev Ghosh describes how Lord Caitanya enchants the entire world.
 
(1)
sonari puraba lila tribhanga haiya
mohana murari gora adhare laiya
 
(2)
muralira randhre phuka dila goracande
anguli nacaiya gaya sulalita cande
 
(3)
nagarera loka jata suniya mohita
suradhuni tire taru lata pulakita
 
(4)
bhuvana mohana gora muralira svare
vasudeva ghosa ite ki bolite pare
 
 
(1) Remembering his previous Vrndavana lila, Gora takes the curbed tribhanga position while placing the mohana murali on his lips.
 
(2) Blowing into the murali, Goracand's fingers dance over the holes producing a melodious song.
 
(3) Hearing the sound, the Nadiya-vasis become enchanted while on the Ganga's banks, trees and creepers horripilate! Thus Gora enchants the entire world.
 
(4) So, where can Vasudev Ghosh find the words to describe the sweet murali's tune?
