Translation
Verse 1
Aha! What did I see under a kadamba tree? It was like a new raincloud embraced by lightning.
Verse 2
It was like a glistening white full moon above a dark new moon. Above those two moons glistened a garland of darkness.
Verse 3
Above that garland was a rainbow. What was that wonderful form I saw?
Verse 4
The effulgent archer's bows of that form's eyebrows defeated the rainbow. That form enchanted Govinda dasa's heart.
