SAPĀRṢADA-GAURA-VIRAHA-VILĀPA
by Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura

1) ye ānilo prema-dhana karuṇā pracur
heno prabhu kothā gelā ācārya ṭhākur

That personality who delivered the treasure of prema-bhakti, who was so intense with compassion—where is such a personality to be found as Śrī Ācārya Ṭhākura (Śrīnivāsa Ācārya)?

2) kāhā mora svarūpa-rūpa kāhā sonātan
kāhā dāsa-raghunātha patita-pāvan

Where are the saviors of the fallen souls? Where is my Svarūpa Dāmodara, and where are Rūpa Gosvāmī and Sanātana Gosvāmī? Where is Raghunātha dāsa to be found?

3) kāhā mora bhaṭṭa-yuga kāhā kavirāj
eka-kāle kothā gelā gaurā naṭa-rāj

Where are my Raghunātha Bhaṭṭa and Gopāla Bhaṭṭa Gosvāmīs? Where am I to find Śrī Kṛṣṇadāsa Kavirāja now? All at once they have gone to join Lord Gaurāṅga, the great dancer.

4) pāṣāṇe kuṭibo māthā, anale paśibo
gaurāṅga guṇera nidhi kothā gele pābo

To reach such a perfect personality as Lord Caitanya, I can only break my head against the stone in the anguish of separation.

5) se saba saṅgīra saṅge ye koilo vilās
se saṅga nā pāiyā kānde narottamo dās

They have all gone off together in their own līlā (pastimes). Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura says: "Unable to obtain their association, I must simply weep."
