ei dhuya-gane nacena dvitiya prahara
krsna lana vraje yai--e-bhava antara
SYNONYMS
ei dhuya-gane—in the repetition of this song; nacena—He dances; dvitiya prahara—the second period of the day; krsna lana—taking Krsna; vraje yai—let Me go back to Vrndavana; e-bhava—this ecstasy; antara—within.
Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu used to sing this song (seita parana-natha) especially during the latter part of the day, and He would think, “Let Me take Krsna and go back to Vrndavana.” This ecstasy was always filling His heart.
PURPORT
Being always absorbed in the ecstasy of Srimati Radharani, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu felt the same separation from Krsna that Srimati Radharani felt when Krsna left Vrndavana and went to Mathura.
This ecstatic feeling is very helpful in attaining love of God in separation.
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu has taught everyone that one should not be overly anxious to see the Lord, but should rather feel separation from Him in ecstasy.
It is actually better to feel separation from Him than to desire to see Him face to face.
When the gopis of Vrndavana, the residents of Gokula, met Krsna at Kuruksetra during the solar eclipse, they wanted to take Krsna back to Vrndavana.
Sri Krsna Caitanya Mahaprabhu also felt the same ecstasy as soon as He saw Jagannatha in the temple or on the Ratha-yatra cart.
The gopis of Vrndavana did not like the opulence of Dvaraka.
They wanted to take Krsna to the village of Vrndavana and enjoy His company in the groves.
This desire was also felt by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, and He danced in ecstasy before the Ratha-yatra festival when Lord Jagannatha went to Gundica.
