Dvitaya Sri Caitanyastaka
Second Composition of Eight Prayers Glorifying Lord Caitanya
by Srila Rpa Gosvami
Text 1
kalau yam vidvamsah sphutam abhiyajante dyuti-bharad
akrsnangam krsnam makha-vidhibhir utkirtanamayaih
upasyam ca prahur yam akhila-caturthasrama-jusam
sa devas caitanyakrtir atitaram nah krpayatu
 |
By performing the sacrifice of congregational chanting of the holy name, scholars in the age of Kali worship Lord Krsna, who is now non-blackish because of the great upsurge of feelings of Srimati Radharani. He is the only worshipable Deity for the paramahamsas, who have attained the highest stage of the fourth order (sannyasa). May that Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Caitanya, show us His great causeless mercy.
Text 2
caritram tanvanah priyam aghavad-ahladana-padam
jayodghosaih samyag-viracita-saci-soka-haranah
udancan-martanda-dyuti-hara-dukulancita-katih
sa devas caitanyakrtir atitaram nah krpayatu
Loudly shouting "jaya" as He manifested His sankirtana pastimes that delighted even the fallen and sinful, and His hips bound by a silk garment that eclipsed the splendor of the rising sun, He pacified His mother's grief. May that Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Caitanya, show us His great causeless mercy.
Text 3
aparam kasyapi pranayi-jana-vrndasya kutuki
rasa-stomam hrtva madhuram upabhoktum kam api yah
rucam svam avavre dyutim iha tadiyam prakatayan
sa devas caitanyakrtir atitaram nah krpayatu
Lord Krsna desired to taste the limitless nectarean mellow of love of one of His multitude of loving damsels (Sri Radha), and so He has assumed the form of Lord Caitanya. He has tasted that love while hiding His own dark complexion with Her effulgent yellow color. May that Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Caitanya, show us His great causeless mercy.
Text 4
anaradhyah pritya ciram asura-bhava-pranayinam
prapannanam daivim prakrtim adhidaivam tri-jagati
ajasram yah sriman jayati sahajananda-madhurah
sa devas caitanyakrtir atitaram nah krpayatu
By the demons He is never worshiped with love. For the surrendered devotees He defeats the power of material destiny in the three worlds. He is handsome, blissful, and charming. May that Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Caitanya, show us His great causeless mercy.
Text 5
gatir yah paundranam prakatita-navadvipa-mahima
bhavenalankurvan bhuvana-mahitam srotriya-kulam
punaty angi-karad bhuvi paramahamsasrama-padam
sa devas caitanyakrtir atitaram nah krpayatu
He is the shelter of the people of Bengal. His glory is manifested in Navadvipa. By birth He ornaments the brahmana community, which is worshiped in all the worlds. By accepting it, He purifies the paramahamsa-asrama in this world. May that Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Caitanya, show us His great causeless mercy.
Text 6
mukhenagre pitva madhuram iha namamrta-rasam
drsor dvara yas tam vamati ghana-baspambu-misatah
bhuvi premnas tattvam prakatayitum ullasita-tanuh
sa devas caitanyakrtir atitaram nah krpayatu
To reveal the truth of pure transcendental love in this world He first jubilantly drank with His mouth the nectar of the holy name, and then discharged it from His eyes on the pretext of shedding tears. May that Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Caitanya, show us His great causeless mercy.
Text 7
tanum aviskurvan nava-purata-bhasam kali-lasat-
karankalankaras taruna-gaja-rajancita-gatih
priyebhyo yah siksam disati nija-nirmalya-rucibhih sa
devas caitanyakrtir atitaram nah krpayatu
His form is splendid as new gold. His waist is decorated with a waterpot. He is as graceful as a regal young elephant. By appreciating His own krsna-prasadam garlands, He teaches His dear associates. May that Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Caitanya, show us His great causeless mercy.
Text 8
smitalokah sokam harati jagatam yasya parito
giram tu prarambhah kusala-patalim pallavayati
padalamba kam va pranayati na hi prema-nivaham
sa devas caitanyakrtir atitaram nah krpayatu
His smiling glance at once drives away all the bereavements of the world, and His very words enliven the auspicious creepers of devotion by expanding their leaves. Taking shelter of His lotus feet invokes transcendental love of God at once. May that Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Caitanya, show us His great causeless mercy.
Text 9

At every step may the glorious Supreme Personality of Godhead bring transcendental happiness and grant auspicious pure love for His own lotus feet to that person who very happily reads these eight verses, which contain the fresh, sweet fragrance of the many blossoming flowers of the glories of Lord Caitanya, the son of Saci.

sva-kantya yah svarnacalam adharayac chidhu ca vacas-
taragair gauraggo hrdaya udayan mam madayati
When everyone sees His graceful motions they revile the graceful mad elephant and when they see His face they spit at the moon. He is splendid as a gold mountain and the waves of His words are nectar. The appearance of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, awakening in my heart, maddens me.
Text 2

purah sri-gaurango hrdaya udayan mam madayati
Decorating Himself with the jewels of paleness, becoming stunned, stuttering, trembling, shedding tears, and bodily hairs erect with joy, and laughing and perspiring as He danced for the pleasure of Lord Jaganntha, may Sri Caitanya Mahprabhu rise in my heart and make me mad with love.
Text 3

Staggering about in ecstasy, sprinkling everyone with water from the reddish syringes of His eyes, joyfully biting His charming lips with His teeth, and trembling as He dances, may Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu rise in my heart and make me mad with love.

rudan sri-gaurango hrdaya udayan mam madayati
Sometimes Sri Caitanya would go to the house of Kasi Misra. There He would be greatly aggrieved, feeling separation from Krsna. The joints of His transcendental body would slacken, and His arms and legs would become elongated. Rolling on the ground, the Lord would cry out in distress in a faltering voice and weep very sorrowfully. The appearance of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, awakening in my heart, maddens me.
Text 5
anudghatya dvara-trayam uru ca bhitti-trayam aho

tanudyat-sakocat kamatha iva krsnoru-virahad
virajan gaurango hrdaya udayan mam madayati
 |
How wonderful it is! Sri Caitanya Mahprabhu left His residence without opening the three strongly bolted doors. Then He crossed over three high walls, and later, because of strong feelings of separation from Krsna, He fell down amidst the cows of the Tailaga district and retracted all the limbs of His body like a tortoise. Sri Caitanya Mahprabhu, who appeared in that way, rises in my heart and maddens me.
Text 6
svakiyasya pranarbuda-sadrsa-goshasya virahat
pralapan unmadat satatam ati kurvan vikala-dhih

ksatottham gaurango hrdaya udayan mam madayati
Because of separation from His many friends in Vrndavana, who were like His own life, Sri Caitanya Mahprabhu spoke like a madman. His intelligence was transformed. Day and night He rubbed His moonlike face against the walls, and blood flowed from the injuries. May that Sri Caitanya Mahprabhu rise in my heart and make me mad with love.
Text 7
kva me kantah krsnas tvaritam iha tam lokaya sakhe

bhujantar gaurango hrdaya udayan mam madayanti
"My dear friend the doorkeeper, where is Krsna, the Lord of my heart? Kindly show Him to Me quickly. " With these words Lord Sri Caitanya Mahprabhu addressed the doorkeeper like a madman. The doorkeeper grasped His hand and replied very hastily, "Come, see Your beloved!" May that Lord Sri Caitanya Mahprabhu rise within my heart and thus make me mad also.
Text 8
samipe niladres cataka-giri-rajasya kalanad

vrajann asmity uktva pramada iva dhavann avadhrto
ganaih svair gaurango hrdaya udayan mam madayati
Near Jagannatha Puri was a great sand dune known as Cataka-parvata. Seeing that hill, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu said, "Oh, I shall go to the land of Vraja to see Govardhana Hill. " Then He began running madly to it, and all the Vaisnavas ran after Him. This scene awakens in my heart and maddens me.
Text 9

Under a charming pavilion at the swing festival, with Svarupa Damodara and the other devotees He sweetly sang the holy names of Lord Krsna. May Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu rise in my heart and make me mad with love.
Text 10
dayam yo govinde garuda iva laksmi-patir alam

svarupe yah sneham giridhara iva srila-subale
vidhatte gaurango hrdaya udayan mam madayati
As Lord Narayana is kind to Garuda, He is kind to Govinda dasa. As Lord Krsna is devoted to His guru, He is devoted to Isvara Puri. As Lord Giridhari loves Subala, He loves Svarupa Damodara. May that Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu rise in my heart and make me mad with love.
Text 11
maha-sampad-davad api patitam uddhatya kapaya
svarupe yah sviye kujanam api mam nyasya muditah
uro-gunja-haram priyam api ca govardhana-silam
dadau me gaurango hdaya udayan mam madayati
Although I am a fallen soul, the lowest of men, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu delivered me from the blazing forest fire of great material opulence by His mercy. He handed me over in great pleasure to Svarupa Damodara, His personal associate. The Lord also gave me the garland of small conchshells that He wore on His chest and a stone from Govardhana Hill, although they were very dear to Him. That same Lord Sri Caitanya Mahprabhu awakens within my heart and makes me mad after Him.

One who, with the water of careful reading mixed with the medicine of strong faith, waters this celestial tree, its charming branches the verses of this poem, and the splendor of its flowers pure love for Lord Gauranga, will reap that tree's heavy fruit: the sight of Sri Caitanya Mahprabhu.
