Gahana kusumakunja maajhe

Bisari traasa lokalaje

Pinaha charu neela basa,

Harinanetre bimala haasa,

kunjabaname aao lo.

Dhale kusuma surabhabhara,

dhale bihagasurabasara,

Dhale indu amritadhar

bimalarajata bhati re.

Manda manda, bhringa gunje,

ajuta kusuma kunje kunje

Phutala sajani punje punje

bakula juthi jati re.

Dekha, lo sakhi shyamaraay

nayane prema uthala jaay -

Madhura badana amritasadana

chandramaay nindichhe.

Aao aao sajanibrinda,

eraba sakhi shreegobinda -

Shayamako padarabinda

bhanusingha bandichhe.

Translation:

Within a park of lusty flowers,
the charm of His flute as empowers
ah fair maiden, oh, drown all fears
and join me, join me, join oh….

Unfolds the beauty of calm blue veils
And hearts marked with a lover’s trail
deer-eyes swear of smiles and tales
Join me, join me, join me oh…

The flowers shed their fragrance sweet
on boughs, birds solemnly tweet
Lunar blends of nectar greet
A lustrous lovely soothing flow

And soft and serene on the branches
Buds bloom with sweet fragrances
Swallows chirp and as moonlight dances
Of time immortal… long, long ago…

And there comes, the Lord, the man
love overflows in his eyes so grand
His charming face, my resort, stands
Asleep in the moon’s tranquil glow…

And thus my maiden, come oh come
And behold him, the star-struck-some
And on his feet, piously I hum
My utmost prayers, onto love I bow…

श्रीमत् शंकराचार्यविरचितं जगन्नाथाष्टकं...

https://youtu.be/S5Kju8cBD8g

कदाचित् कालिन्दी तट विपिन सङ्गीत तरलो मुदाभीरी नारी वदन कमला स्वाद मधुपः रमा शम्भु ब्रह्मामरपति गणेशार्चित पदो जगन्नाथः स्वामी नयन पथ गामी भवतु मे ॥१॥

Sometimes in great happiness Lord Jagannatha, with His flute, makes a loud concert in the groves on the banks of the Yamuna. He is like a bumblebee who tastes the beautiful lotus-like faces of the cowherd damsels of Vraja, and His lotus feet are worshiped by great personalities such as Lakshmi, Siva, Brahma, Indra and Ganesa. May that Jagannatha Swami be the object of my vision.

भुजे सव्ये वेणुं शिरसि शिखिपिच्छं कटितटे दुकूलं नेत्रान्ते सहचर-कटाक्षं विदधते । सदा श्रीमद्‍-वृन्दावन-वसति-लीला-परिचयो जगन्नाथः स्वामी नयन-पथ-गामी भवतु मे ॥२॥ In His left hand Lord Jagannatha holds a flute. On His head He

wears the feathers of peacocks and on His hips He wears fine

yellow silken cloth. Out of the corners of His eyes He bestows

sidelong glances upon His loving devotees and He always

reveals Himself through His pastimes in His divine abode

of Vrindavana. May that Jagannatha Swami be the object

of my vision. महाम्भोधेस्तीरे कनक रुचिरे नील शिखरे वसन् प्रासादान्तः सहज बलभद्रेण बलिना । सुभद्रा मध्यस्थः सकलसुर सेवावसरदो जगन्नाथः स्वामी नयन-पथ-गामी भवतु मे ॥३॥ Residing on the shore of the great ocean, within a large palace

situated upon the crest of the brilliant, golden Nilacala Hill,

along with His powerful brother Bala-bhadra, and in the middle

of Them His sister Subhadra, Lord Jagannatha bestows the

opportunity for devotional service upon all godly souls.

May that Jagannatha Swami be the object of my vision. कृपा पारावारः सजल जलद श्रेणिरुचिरो रमा वाणी रामः स्फुरद् अमल पङ्केरुहमुखः । सुरेन्द्रैर् आराध्यः श्रुतिगण शिखा गीत चरितो जगन्नाथः स्वामी नयन पथ गामी भवतु मे ॥४॥ Lord Jagannatha is an ocean of mercy and He is beautiful like a

row of blackish rain clouds. He is the storehouse of bliss for

Lakshmi and Saraswati, and His face is like a spotless full-blown

lotus. He is worshiped by the best of demigods and sages, and His

glories are sung by the Upanishads. May that Jagannatha Swami be

the object of my vision. रथारूढो गच्छन् पथि मिलित भूदेव पटलैः स्तुति प्रादुर्भावम् प्रतिपदमुपाकर्ण्य सदयः । दया सिन्धुर्बन्धुः सकल जगतां सिन्धु सुतया जगन्नाथः स्वामी नयन पथ गामी भवतु मे ॥५॥ When Lord Jagannatha is on His Ratha-yatra cart and is moving
along the road, at every step there is a loud presentation of prayers
and songs chanted by large assemblies of brahmanas. Hearing their
hymns Lord Jagannatha is very favorably disposed towards them.
He is the ocean of mercy and the true friend of all the worlds.
May that Jagannatha Swami, along with His consort Lakshmi,
who was born from the ocean of nectar,

be the object of my vision. परंब्रह्मापीड़ः कुवलय-दलोत्‍फुल्ल-नयनो निवासी नीलाद्रौ निहित-चरणोऽनन्त-शिरसि । रसानन्दी राधा-सरस-वपुरालिङ्गन-सुखो जगन्नाथः स्वामी नयन-पथगामी भवतु मे ॥६॥ He is the ornament of the head of Lord Brahma and His eyes are like

the full-blown petals of the lotus. He resides on the Nilacala Hill, and

His lotus feet are placed on the heads of Ananta Deva. Lord Jagannatha

is overwhelmed by the mellow of love and He becomes joyful in the

embracing of the body of Sri Radharani, which is like a cool pond.

May that Jagannatha Swami be the object of my vision. न वै याचे राज्यं न च कनक माणिक्य विभवं न याचेऽहं रम्यां सकल जन काम्यां वरवधूम् । सदा काले काले प्रमथ पतिना गीतचरितो जगन्नाथः स्वामी नयन पथ गामी भवतु मे ॥७॥ I do not pray for a kingdom, nor for gold, rubies, and wealth.

I do not ask for an excellent and beautiful wife as desired by

all men. I simply pray that Jagannatha Swami, whose glories

are always sung by Lord Siva, be the constant object of my vision. हर त्वं संसारं द्रुततरम् असारं सुरपते हर त्वं पापानां विततिम् अपरां यादवपते । अहो दीनेऽनाथे निहित चरणो निश्चितमिदं जगन्नाथः स्वामी नयन पथ गामी भवतु मे ॥८॥ O Lord of the demigods, please quickly remove this useless material

existence I am undergoing. O Lord of the Yadus, please destroy this

vast ocean of sins which has no shore. Alas, this is certain that

Lord Jagannatha’s lotus feet are bestowed upon those who feel

themselves fallen and have no shelter in this world but Him.

May that Jagannatha Swami be the object of my vision. जगन्नाथाष्टकं पुन्यं यः पठेत् प्रयतः शुचिः । सर्वपाप विशुद्धात्मा विष्णुलोकं स गच्छति ॥९॥ The self-retrained, virtuous soul who recites these eight verses

glorifying Lord Jagannatha becomes cleansed of all sins and duly

proceeds to Lord Visnu's abode. ॥ इति श्रीमत् शंकराचार्यविरचितं जगन्नाथाष्टकं संपूर्णम् ॥
