Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta · Text Madhya 2.55
তাহাঁ হৈতে ঘরে আসি’ মাটীর উপরে বসি’,
নখে করে পৃথিবী লিখন ।
হা-হা কাহাঁ বৃন্দাবন, কাহাঁ গোপেন্দ্রনন্দন,
কাহাঁ সেই বংশীবদন ॥ ৫৫ ॥
tāhāṅ haite ghare āsi’, māṭīra upare vasi’,
nakhe kare pṛthivī likhana
hā-hā kāhāṅ vṛndāvana, kāhāṅ gopendra-nandana,
kāhāṅ sei vaṁśī-vadana
Translation
When coming from the Jagannātha temple to return to His house, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu used to sit on the ground and mark it with His nails. At such times He would be greatly morose and would cry, “Alas, where is Vṛndāvana? Where is Kṛṣṇa, the son of the King of the cowherd men? Where is that person who plays the flute?”
