Well, in celebration of the coming appearance day of Sri Mahaprabhu I have decided to start another translation. Like all my other translations, It will grow slowly, at a maddeningly slow pace. Still, some day hope is that it will join Murari's Kadaca as the second entry in our Caitanyite Bible:
1 The Gospel of Murarigupta 2 The First Gospel of Kavikarnapura 3. The Gospel of Vrndavana Dasa 4. The Gospel of Locana Dasa 5. The Second Gospel of Kavikarnapura (the Caitanya-candrodaya Nataka)
We should print them altogether and put them in hotel rooms, no?
Anyway, here it is, the first verse of Kavikarnapura's first work:
yaḥ śrīvṛndāvanabhuvi purā saccidānandasāndro\\ gaurāṅgībhiḥ sadṛśarucibhiḥ śyāmadhāmā nanarta|\\ tāsāṃ śaśvaddṛḍhataraparīrambhasambhedataḥ kiṃ\\ gaurāṅgaḥ san jayati sa navadvīpamālambamānaḥ|| 1||
Before, in the land of Śrī Vṛndāvan,\\ Solid being, consciousness, and bliss, he\\ Of dark glory danced with golden-limbed girls,\\ Who had a splendor much like his.\\ Did he, from union with them through\\ Their forever intenser embraces,\\ Become gold-limbed himself and find\\ A resort in Navadvīpa?\\ May he be crowned with victory. (1)
[More of Gupta later. I am working on chapter 10, Mahaprabhu's wedding to Laksmidevi.]
