“Aaj Diwali Mangala Char: Today is the auspicious day of Diwali”
Raga Vilāval
Today is the auspicious day of Diwali.
The Vraj ladies gather and sing auspicious songs.
They decorate the courtyard by the auspicious gate.
Fruits, nuts, sweets and fried foods
are brought on a golden tray.
Paramananda Das follows Shri Krishna,
who is adorned with precious garments and jewels.
āja divārī maṅgala cāra ॥
Vraja yuvati mila maṅgala gāvata coka purāvata āngana dvāra ।।१।।
madhu mevā pakavāna miṭhāī bhari bhari līne kaṅcana thāra ॥
Paramananda dāsa ko ṭhākura pahere ābhūṣaṇa siṅgāra ।।२।।
आज दिवारी मंगल चार ।।
व्रजयुवति मिल मंगल गावत चोक पुरावत आंगन द्वार ।।१।।
मधु मेवा पकवान मिठाई भरि भरि लीने कंचन थार ।।
परमानंद दास को ठाकुर पहेरे आभूषण सिंगार ।।२।।
