(1) All glories, all glories to the beautiful ārati ceremony of Lord Caitanya! This Gaura-ārati is being performed in a grove on the bank of the Ganges and is captivating everyone in the universe.
(2) On Lord Caitanya’s right is Lord Nityānanda, and on His left is Śrī Gadādhara. Nearby stands Śrī Advaita, and Śrīvāsa Ṭhākura holds an umbrella over Lord Caitanya’s head.
(3) Lord Caitanya has sat down on a jeweled throne, and Lord Brahmā and the other demigods are performing His ārati.
(4) As Narahari Sarakāra and other associates of Lord Caitanya fan Him with cāmaras, Sañjaya Paṇḍita, Mukunda Datta, Vāsu Ghoṣa and other devotees sing sweet kīrtana.
(5) Conchshells, bells, and karatālas resound, and the mṛdaṅgas play very sweetly. This kīrtana music is supremely sweet and relishable to hear.How extremely sweet is the sound of the conchshells and bells!
(6) The brilliance of Lord Caitanya’s face conquers millions upon millions of moons, and the garland of forest flowers around His neck shines.
(7) Lord Śiva, Śukadeva Gosvāmī, and Nārada Muni are all present, and their voices are choked with the great ecstasy of transcendental love. Thus Ṭhākura Bhaktivinoda envisions the glory of Lord Śrī Caitanya.
