Sarvabhauma Sataka — Srila Sarvabhauma Bhattacharya

One Hundred Magnanimous Verses Glorifying Sriman Mahaprabhu (D)

Verse 66
His eyes are as stunning as every other part of His form; for the Godhead is the culmination of billions of years of a sublime spiritual evolution that is known only to His associates who possess similar bodily features. I offer all that my intelligence possesses in order to ask Him where He keeps running off to when out of my view.
Verse 67
The beauty of His bashful face draws in the innocent from all corners of the cosmos because of radiating a pale moon like glow that is as irresistible to look at as it is difficult to draw your eyes away from.
Verse 68
His teeth are like strings of shiny pearls that at once causes envy in the hearts of thieves and soulful ecstasy in the hearts of those who have affection for Him. Sometimes assuming the royal internal posture of a lion, He is walking about as if nothing can harm Him.
Verse 69
Just as the soul never dies, similarly, the flowers covering Gaura’s broad chest never wilts or loses its aesthetic value. Hearing only, “bhakti, bhakti,” instead of, “mukti, mukti,” His ears are our ears when we approach Him to save us from being so fallen.
Verse 70
His waist and thighs are as slim and strong as the punctured sky is by the darkness of the night and the ensuing mysticism of stars bleeding to be born again into more noble creations. His feet resembling the shell of a healthy tortoise, no one can walk on Him without feeling the absolute heaviness of space.
Not knowing what to do next, She ultimately decides His destiny for Him because of knowing His heart to such a fine degree of excellence
Verse 71
O Gaurasundara! I will lose my composure and desire to live if You do not allow me to surrender and to have Your lotus feet as my divine shelter. May I repeatedly pray to You in this mercy begging fashion.
Verse 72
Everything that You do, including looking down upon Your jewel like nails, is an act of transcendence that can only be relished by those who treat You as being better than gold.
Verse 73
Not having to fear any mortal friend or for because of having seen a flag and thunderbolt imprinted upon the soles of Your lotus feet, You are the perfection of someone who has managed to fully surrender to God without feeling ashamed of exclusively loving the truth of the reality of the ultimate effectiveness of bhakti yoga.
Verse 74
Terrified of the tragedies of Kali yuga, and too weak to obtain Your mercy by certain spiritual practices aimed at liberation through knowledge, may I be one of those fallen souls who is cleared of all offenses and lapses in spiritual perception. What more can I say to convince others of Your mercy? You are the shelter which all eventually turn to when face down in the mud of sinful activities.
Verse 75
A character such as Yours could have only been the result of Saci Devi’s intense pining for the Lord. Directly instructing the people about the holy names, You are primarily teaching them about how it is good to be exclusively attached to God and to God Consciousness. Before listless and depressed, now they dance within the circle of the sankirtana movement with ecstatic loving feelings. Crying because of recognizing their great fortune, they teach others about Lord Hari through their living example of enthusiasm in relation to devotional service.
