Sri Gopala vilasini valyatha dattathi mukta kriti –

Sri Radha… pathi, pada Padma bajana nandabdhi, magnonisham

Loke sathka viraja raja etiya:, kyathodiyam bhonidhi:.

Tham vande Jayadeva sadguru maham, Padmavati vallabham…||3||

meghair meduram ambaram vana-bhuvah shyämäs tamäla-drumair:

naktam bhéru rayaàm tvam eva tad imam, rädhe gåham präpaya |

ittham nanda-nideshataha calitayoù praty-adhva-kuïja-drumaà

rädhä-mädhavayor jayanti yamunä-küle rahaù-kelaya: ||1||

The sky is thick with clouds; the forest area is dark with the tamAla
trees; the night frightens him (Krishna); Oh RAdha! you take him home; This
is the command from Nanda.  But, Radha and Madhava stray to the tree on the
banks of river Yamuna, and their secret love sport prevails.

etam karoti jayadeva-kavih prabandham ||2||

The heart of the great poet Sri Jayadeva is like a mansion, beautifully
decorated with Goddess of speech (Sarasvati) , who is at the feet of
PadmAvati, composes this great work comprising of the divine plays of Shri
and VAsudEva.  Jayadeva – jaya means “the utmost excellence”; deva means
dyotayati, prakäshayati or “he illuminates”.SriJayadeva is one who
illuminates the utmost excellence of the pastimes ofSri Krishna by his
devotion.



yadi hari-smarane sarasam mana:

yadi viläsa-kaläsu kutühalam |

madhura-komala-känta-padävalém

shrunu tadä jayadeva-sarasvatim ||3||

Dear audience! If your mind is permeated by mellows of ever- fresh loving
attachment while hearing the pastimes of Sri Hari, and if you are curious
to know about his ingenuity in the amorous arts, may you become immersed in
bliss by listening to the mellifluous, tender and endearing verses of this
collection of songs by the poet Jayadeva.



vacaù pallavayaty umäpatidharah, sandarbha-shuddhim giräà

jänite jayadeva eva sharanah, shläghyo durüha-druteh |

shrungärottara-sat-prameya-racanair:, äcärya-govardhana-

spardhé, ko’pi na vishrutah, srutidharo dhoyi kavi-kshmäpati: ||4||

The rhetoric of an illustrious poet named Umapatidhara is adorned with
alliteration and other figures of speech. The poet named Sarana has
received acclaim for his cryptic verses. No one has ever heard of a poet
who can convey the flavour of worldly romance as skilfully as Govardhana.
Kaviraja Dhoyi can recite anything after hearing it but once. When even
these formidable poets could not master every field of talent, how could
the poetry of Jayadeva abound with all attributes? (by this he expresses
his humility )
