garuḍera sannidhāne, rahi' kare daraśane,
se ānandera ki kahiba ba'le
garuḍa-stambhera tale, āche eka nimna khāle,
se khāla bharila aśru-jale

Перевод

Staying near the Garuḍa-stambha, the Lord would look upon Lord Jagannātha. What can be said about the strength of that love? On the ground beneath the column of the Garuḍa-stambha was a deep ditch, and that ditch was filled with the water of His tears.
