Sri Saci-nandana-vijayastaka

 

Eight Prayers Describing the Glories of the Son of Saci

 

1 gadadhara yada parah sa kila ksacanalokito

maya srita-gayadhavana madhura-murtir ekas tada

navambuda iva bruvan dhrta-navambudo netrayor

luthan bhuvi niruddha-vag vijayate saci-nandanah

 

One day, Gadadhara Pandita heard the following words: O Gadadhara! I saw the

most extraordinary person on the road to Gaya. His form was very handsome,

and He roared just like a thundercloud. His eyes rained tears as if they

had become rain clouds, and He rolled about on the ground, His voice choked

up in the ecstasy of love of God. All glories to that Lord, the son of

Saci-devi.

 

2 alaksita-carim harity-udita-matratah kam dasam

asav ati-budhagranir atula-kampa-sampadikam

vrajann ahaha modte na punar atra sastresv iti

sva-sisya-gana-vestito vijayate saci-nandanah

 

Oh, what kind of extraordinary state has He attained? Although He is the

leader of the scholars, He no longer delights in study. When He holds

class, surrounded by his pupils, if He hears the sound "Hari"", He begins to

tremble. All glories to that Lord, the son of Saci-devi.

 

3 haha kim idam ucyate patha pathatra krsnam muhur

vina tam iha sadhutam dadhati kim buddha dhatavah

prasiddha iha varna-sanghatita-samyag-amnayakah

sva-namni yad iti bruvan vijayate saci-nandanah

 

Once during class Lord Caitanya interrupted a pupil and asked, 'What are you

saying? Instead of these verbs, you should constantly repeat the name of

Krsna, the most famous of all worlds according to the Vedas. O students,

without Krsna, what benefit can verbs give?' All glories to Lord Caitanya,

the son of Saci-devi, who chants His own holy name in that way.

 

4 navambuja-dale yad-iksana-savarnata-dirghate

sada sva-hrdi bhavyatam sapadi sadhyatam tat-padam

sa pathayati vismitan smita-mukhah sva-sisyan iti

prati-prakaranam prabhur vijayate saci-nandanah

 

No matter what the particular topic of study was, He would smile and

instruct His astonished grammar students in this way: 'O students, please

place the two large eyes of Sri Krsna, which are as beautiful as two lotus

petals, within your hearts, and please place His lotus feet within your

hearts in the same way.' All glories to that Lord, the son of Saci-devi.

 

5 kva yani karavani kim kva nu maya harir labhyatam

tam udisatu kah sakhe kathaya kah prapadyeta mam

iti dravati ghurnate kalita-bhakta-kanthah suca

sa murchayati mataram vijayate saci-nandanah

 

At other times, the Lord would say, 'O friend, where shall I go, and what

shall I do to attain Lord Hari?' Who will show Him to Me? Please tell me

who will help me in this way'. Speaking thus, the Lord ran here and there

and rolled about on the ground. Their throats filled with grief, the

stricken devotees called out to Him. In this way the Lord caused His mother

Saci-devi, to faint. All glories to that Lord, the son of Saci-devi.

 

6 smararbuda-durapaya tanu-ruci-chata-cchayaya

tamah kali-tama-krtam nikhilam eva nirmulayan

nrnam nayana-saubhagam divi-sadam mukhais tarayan

lasann adhi-dharah prabhur vijayate saci-nandanah

 

The reflection of the splendid beauty of the Lord is not attainable even by

millions of Cupids, and with that splendour the Lord uproots the darkness of

the ignorance of the age of Kali. Descending with the principal demigods,

the Lord delighted the eyes of the residents of this earth planet. All

glories to that effulgent Lord, the son of Saci-devi.

 

7 ayam kanaka-bhudharah pranaya-ratnam uccaih kiran

krpaturataya vrajan abhavad atra visvambharah

yad-aksi-patha-sancarat-suradhuni-pravahair nijam

param ca jagad ardayan vijayate saci-nandanah

 

He is like a golden mountain that scatters jewels of pure love of God.

Because of His great mercy He wandered on this earth planet. That Lord,

known as Visvambhara, the maintainer of the universe, inundated His own

universe with the currents of the Ganges river of tears of love of Godhead

flowing from His eyes. All glories to that Lord, the son of Saci-devi.

 

8 gato 'smi mathuram mama priyatama visakha-sakhi

gata nu bata kam dasam vada katham nu vedani tam

itiva sa ni jecchaya vraja-pateh sutah prapitas

tadiya-rasa-carvanam vijayate saci-nandanah

 

Lord Krsna said to Uddhava: 'What is the condition of Srimati Radharani now

that I have come to Mathura? Please tell me so that I may understand.' In

order to fulfil His own desire, Lord Krsna, the son of the king of Vraja,

has descended as Lord Caitanya to taste the mellows of His own devotional

service

 

9 idam pathati yo 'stakam guna-nidhe saci-nandana

prabho tava padambuje sphurad-amanda-visrambhavan

tam ujjvala-matim nija-pranaya-rupa-varganugam

vidhaya nija-dhamani drutam uri-kurusva svayam

 

O Lord, O son of Saci-devi, O ocean of transcendental qualities, please

place in Your abode all who read these eight verses and are full of faith in

Your lotus feet. Please accept those readers whose intelligence is pure and

who follow in the footsteps of the great devotees headed by Srila Rupa

Govami, who are full of great love for You.
