Ecstatic Waves of Navadvépa

As He says this, the vision will disappear, and I will weep as I begin to eat the fruit. Inmy heart I am thinking of that inconceivable form, “Will I ever see that greenish form of Räma again?” O Bhäëòéravana, land of transcendental gems, my heart weeps without end to leave you! At that place, on the pretext of herding cows, Balaräma and Kåñëa performed many pastimes. In the same way, Gauräìga performed pastimes here inModadruma, becoming drunk with the sound of kértana in the company of His friends. Then slowly I will go to Vaikuëöhapura, to the forest called Niùçreyasa, abundant with all grandeur. The Lord of Vaikuëöha, who is worshiped by all the demigods, resides there along with His three energies, Lélä, Bhü, and Çré. As much as my Kåñëa is endowed with utmost sweetness, so the Lord of Vaikuëöha is endowed with all opulences and grandeur. Although Vrajendra‑nandana Kåñëa never gives up these opulences, they are not seen by His devotees. The Lord of Vaikuëöha was merciful to Närada. Hiding His opulences, He satisfied Närada by transforming Himself into Gauräìga. Seeing that form of Gauräìga, I will dance, while floundering in the ocean of bliss and crying in a loud voice. Crossing over the Virajä River and leaving Brahmäëénagara, I will climb on top of Arka‑öilä. As I sit there and worship Gaurahari, I will become intoxicated with nectar while singing the holy name. The sun‑god, Arkadeva, will mercifully appear before me with a red‑hued complexion, long‑arms, wearing pinkish cloth and tulasé‑mälä , sandalwood smeared on his body, the name of Gaurahari on his lips, and tears in his eyes. He will say to me, “My son, I have appeared before you because you are a devotee of Gauräìga. We demigods, directors of material affairs, are also servants of Gauräìga’s lotus feet. I simply aspire to be the servant of the servants of Gauräìga’s lotus feet. By my blessings, you will get kåñëa‑bhakti , and you will have the strength to live in the dhäma and chant the holy name. But please come here regularly and sing Kåñëa’s nectar‑filled name for my pleasure.” Paying obeisances at Suryadeva’s feet, I will proceed to Mahatpura. This Mahatpura is nondifferent from Kamyavana,
