1(āmi) jamunā-puline, kadamba-kānane,
ki herinu sakhī! āja
(āmār) śyāma baṁśī-dhari, maṇi-mañcopari,
līlā kore’ rasa-rāja
भावार्थOh sakhi! My dear girlfriend! What have I seen today? In a kadamba grove on the banks of the Yamuna, a beautiful blackish boy holding a long flute named vamsi is seated upon a throne of jewels, performing His pastimes as the King of all transcendental mellows!
2(tāra) aṣṭa-dalopari, śrī-rādhā śrī-hari,
aṣṭa-sakhī parijana
भावार्थSituated upon the eight petals of the jeweled altar is Sri Radha and Sri Hari surrounded by Their attendants the eight chief gopis.
3(tāra) sugīta nartane, saba sakhī-gaṇe,
tuṣiche jugala-dhane
(takhan) kṛṣṇa-līlā heri’, prakṛti-sundarī,
bistāriche śobhā vane
भावार्थBy singing sweet Songs and by dancing nicely, all the gopis satisfy the treasured Divine Couple. Thus I am beholding Krsna's pastimes with His beautiful female consorts expanding throughout the splendorous forest.
4(āmi) ghare nā jāibo, vane praveśibo,
o līlā-raser tare
(āmi) tyaji’ kula-lāja, bhaja braja-rāja,
vinoda minati kore’
भावार्थFor the sake of the mellows of such pastimes, I will not go to my home, but I will instead enter into the forest. Renouncing all shyness due to fear of family members, just worship the Lord of Vraja. This is the humble submission of Bhaktivinoda.
