Sri Radha is sinking to the depths of despair in the trysting place. She is in agony. In all directions and in the core of her heart, she sees you who are so skilful in drinking the sweet nectar of her lips.”. tvad-abhisaraa-rabhasena valanti | patati padani kiyanti calanti ||2|| “Rushing in her haste to meet you, she stumbles after a few steps & falls down”. vihita-visada-bisa-kisalaya-valaya | jivati param iha tava rati-kalaya ||3|| “She puts on bangles, a sash, rings, armlets, necklaces and other ornaments made of spotless white lotus-fibres and freshly sprouted leaves. She is living only in the hope’s of being with you again.”. muhur avalokita-maana-lila | madhu-ripuraham iti bhavana-sila ||4|| “O Krishna, her prana has become one with yours. Imagining that, ‘I am Madhusudana’ she identifies herself with you and stares at her ornaments.” tvaritam upaiti na katham abhisaram | haririti vadati sakhim anuvaram ||5|| “Why won’t Hari come quickly to meet me?” she incessantly asks her saki (friend). sliyati cumbati jala-dhara-kalpam | harirupagata iti timiram analpam ||6|| In the dense darkness , she embraces & kisses the cloud like form, & says “Hari has come” . bhavati vilambini vigalita-lajja | vilapati roditi vasaka-sajja ||7|| “When Radha returns to external consciousness and realizes that you have still not arrived, she loses all bashfulness and begins to weep out loud.” sri-jayadeva-kaver idam uditam | rasika-jana tanutam atimuditam ||8|| May this song of the poet Jayadeva awaken abundant jubilation in the hearts of those who are expert in relishing rasa. ************** vipula-pulaka-pälim- sphita-sét-kära mantar- janita-jatimam-käku, vyäkulam vyäharanti | tavaki tava vidhadh, amanda-kandarpa-cinthäm rasa-jala-nidhi-magnäm, dhyäna-lagnä, mrigakshi ||9|| “Her body is bristling with longing; her breath sucking in words of confusion; her voice cracking in deep fear-obsessed by Your intense thoughts. Radha sinks in your viraha, trying to stay alive by clinging to you in her meditation” angeshvä bharam, karoti bahusha:, patre’pi sancharini… präptam tväm- parishankate vitanute, shayyäm ciram dhyäyati | ityä kalpa-vikalpa-talpa-racanä, sankalpa-leeläshata- vyäsaktäpi- vinä. tvayä vara-tanur, naisham nishäsham neshyati ||10|| “She ornaments herself & when leaves rustle, she is filled with expectation thinking ‘Oh, you have come.’ She makes a soft bed & waits long in meditation. Making her bed of ornaments & fantasies, she evokes a hundred details of you in her graceful play. But the frail girl will not survive the night without you.” kim vishrämyasi, krishna-bhogi-bhavane, bhändira-bhümi-ruhi bhrätar yäsi na dristi-gocaram ita:, sänanda-nandä…spadam | rädhäyä vacanam tad adhvaga-mukhän nandäntike gopato govindasya, jayanti shäyam, atithi-präshastya-garbhä gira: ||11|| “When I was a guest in Sri Radha’s home, she said to me, ‘O brother, why are you resting at the foot of this bhandira tree? A poisonous black serpent lives here. Get up and go to the delightful home of Nanda, which is visible just before you. Why don’t you go there?'” On hearing these words of Radha, from the lips of a pilgrim, Krishna thanked “him” in such a way that Sri Nanda Maharaja would not understand the inner mood of his statements. May Govinda’s words of praise be victorious.

This exceptionally sweet spring night makes me unsteady with the pain of loneliness. At a time like this it is certain that elsewhere some impassioned young woman is experiencing the highest happiness of Hari’s favor, as she enjoys the fruit of her pious activities.” ahaha kalayami valayadi-mai-bhushanam | hari-viraha-dahana-vahanena bahu-dushanam (yami he kam iha sharanam) ||5|| “Every bangle & jewel I wear pains me, carrying the fire of Hari’s desertion.”. kusuma-sukumara-tanum, asama-shara-lilaya | pragati hrudi hanti mam, ati vishama-shilaya (yami he kam iha sharanam) ||6|| “Even this garland of forest flowers on my chest is inflicting terrible blows like the arrows of Cupid upon my body, which is more delicate than the softest flower blossoms.” aham iha nivasami, navi-ganita-vethasha | smarati madhusudano, mamapi na cetasa (yami he kam iha sharanam) ||7|| “I fearlessly sit waiting for Krishna, even in the midst of this formidable cane forest. But how astonishing it is that Madhusudana does not remember me even once.”. hari-carana-sharnaa, jayadeva-kavi-bharati | vasatu hrudi, yuvati riva, komala-kalavati (yami he kam iha sharanam)||8|| As the qualities of a beautiful young woman, who is expert in all arts, always shine within the heart of a young man, similarly may this delightful song of Sri Jayadeva, who is unconditionally surrendered at the lotus feet of Sri Krishna, always grace the hearts of the devotees. ************** tat-kim kämapi käminim, abhisruta:, kim vä kalä-kelibhi:… baddho bandhubhi:, andhakärini vanäbhyarne, kimud bhrämyati | känta: klänta-manä, manäg api, pathi prasthä tum eväk shama:…. sanketi-kruta-manju-vänjula-latä-kunje’pi , yan nägata:… ||9|| “Sri Krishna is more dear to me than my own life. Why has he not come to the appointed chamber of blossoming vines? What is the mystery behind it? Did he go for a tryst with another passionate woman? Did he inadvertently allow the appointed time to pass in the joy of playing with his friends? Is he wandering around, unable to find this place in the terrible darkness cast by the shadow of this dense mass of trees? Is he so debilitated by feelings of separation from me that he cannot walk even a single step?” K RAJARAM IRS 2324 PART 9 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
