Namaste
(refrain) namas te sri radhe namas te sri syama
priyah so ’yam krsnah saha-cari kuru-ksetra-militas
tathaham sa radha tad idam ubhayoh sangama-sukham
tathapy antah-khelan-madhura-murali-pancama-juse
mano me kalindi-pulina-vipinaya sprhayati
Srimati Radharani said, “My dear friend, now I have met My very
old and dear friend Krsna on this field of Kuruksetra. I am the same
Radharani, and now We are meeting together. It is very pleasant, but
still I would like to go to the bank of the Yamuna beneath the trees
of the forest there. I wish to hear the vibration of His sweet flute
playing the fifth note within that forest of Vrndavana.”
su-gandhau makanda-prakara-makarandasya madhure
vinisyande vandi-krta-madhupa-vrndam muhur idam
krtandolam mandonnatibhir anilais candana-girer
mamanandam vrnda-vipinam atulam tundilayati
The sweet, fragrant honey oozing from newly grown mango buds is again
and again attracting groups of bumblebees, and this forest is trembling
in the softly moving breezes from the Malaya Hills, which are full of
sandalwood trees. Thus the forest of Vrndavana is increasing My transcendental
pleasure.
kvacid bhrngi-gitam kvacid anila-bhangi-sisirata
kvacid valli-lasyam kvacid amala-malli-parimalah
kvacid dhara-sali karaka-phala-pali-rasa-bharo
hrsikanam vrndam pramadayati vrndavanam idam
My dear friend, this forest of Vrndavana is giving great pleasure
to our senses in various ways. Somewhere bumblebees are singing in groups,
and in some places mild breezes are cooling the entire atmosphere. Somewhere
the creepers and tree twigs are dancing, the mallika flowers are expanding
their fragrance, and an overabundance of juice is constantly flowing
in showers from pomegranate fruits.
balad aksnor laksmih kavalayati navyam kuvalayam
mukhollasah phullam kamala-vanam ullanghayati ca
dasam kastam astapadam api nayaty angika-rucir
vicitram radhayah kim api kila rupam vilasati
The beauty of Srimati Radharani’s eyes forcibly devours the
beauty of newly grown blue lotus flowers, and the beauty of Her face
surpasses that of an entire forest of fully blossomed lotuses. Her bodily
luster seems to place even gold into a painful situation. Thus the wonderful,
unprecedented beauty of Srimati Radharani is awakening in Vrndavana.
