त्वन्मनोरथपूर्णस्य स्वयं कालः समागतः
The time has come to fulfill your cherished desire.
तदेव खण्डितुं राधे क्षमो नाहं च को विधिः
But, O Rādhe, I am not able to undo that; what destiny can do so?
मालाकमण्डलुकर ईषत्स्मेरचतुर्मुखः 4.15.
With a garland and water-pot in hand, the four-faced one smiled gently.
साश्रुनेत्रपुलकितो भक्तिनम्रात्मकन्धरः
His eyes were filled with tears, his body thrilled, and his head bowed in devotion.
पुनर्नत्वा प्रभुं भक्त्या जगाम राधिकान्तिकम्
Again, having bowed to the Lord with devotion, he approached the side of Rādhā.
चकार संभ्रमेणैव जटाजालेन वेष्टितम्
With reverence, he wrapped himself with his matted locks.
यथागमं प्रतुष्टाव पुटाञ्जलियुतः पुनः ब्रह्मोवाच हे मातस्त्वत्पदाम्भोजं दृष्टं कृष्णप्रसादतः
According to tradition, he praised again, with folded hands; Brahmā said: 'O Mother, your lotus feet have been seen by me through Kṛṣṇa's grace.'
सुदुर्लभं च सर्वेषां भारते च विशेषतः
They are exceedingly rare for all, especially in Bhārata.
भास्करे पुष्करे तीर्थे कृष्णस्य परमात्मनः
At Bhāskara and Puṣkara, the holy places of Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Self.
वरं वृणीष्वेत्युक्ते च स्वाभीष्टं च वृतं मुदा
When he said, 'Choose a boon,' I joyfully chose my desired wish.
हे गुणातीत मे शीघ्रमधुनैव प्रदर्शय
'O transcendent of qualities, show me quickly, right now.'
दर्शयिष्यामि काले च वत्सेदानीं क्षमेति च
'I will show you in time; now, wait, child.'
सर्वेषां वाञ्छितं मातर्गोलोके भारतेऽधुना 4.15.
O Mother, what is desired by all in Goloka and Bhārata is now.
त्वं कृष्णाङ्गार्धसंभूता तुल्या कृष्णेन सर्वतः
You were born from half the body of Kṛṣṇa, equal to Kṛṣṇa in every way.
नहि वेदेषु मे दृष्ट इति केन निरूपितम्
I have not seen this in the Vedas; by whom has it been established?
वैकुण्ठश्चाप्यजन्यश्च त्वमजन्या तथाम्बिके
Vaikuṇṭha is unborn, and you, O Mother, are also unborn.
तथा शक्तिस्वरूपा त्वं तेषु सर्वेषु संस्थिता
Thus, you are the embodiment of power, abiding in all those.
आत्मना देहरूपा त्वमस्याधारस्त्वमेव हि
By your own self, you are the form of the body; you alone are its support.
किमहो निर्मितः केन हेतुना शिल्पकारिणा
How, indeed, and by what cause, and by which creator, have you been fashioned?
अस्यांशा त्वं त्वदंशो वाऽप्ययं केन निरूपितः
Are you a part of this, or is this a part of you? By whom has this been determined?
तं पठित्वा गुरुमुखाद्भवन्त्येव बुधा जनाः
By reciting that in the presence of the guru, people indeed become wise.
वेदो वा पण्डितो वाऽन्यः को वा त्वां स्तोतुमीश्वरः
Whether it is the Veda, a learned scholar, or anyone else—who is capable of praising you, O Lord?
त्वं बुद्धेर्जननी मातः को वा त्वां स्तोतुमीश्वरः 4.15.
You are the mother, the origin of intelligence—who is able to praise you, O Lord?
यददृष्टाश्रुते वस्तु तन्निर्वक्तुं च कः क्षमः
Who is able to describe that which has not been seen or heard?
सरस्वती च वेदाश्च क्षमः कः स्तोतुमीश्वरः
Even Sarasvati and the Vedas—who among them is capable of praising you, O Lord?
ईश्वराणामीश्वरस्य योग्यायोग्ये समा कृपा
The compassion of the Lord of lords is equal toward those who are worthy and unworthy.
जननी जनको यो वा सर्वं क्षमति स्नेहतः
A mother, a father, or whoever it may be—for love's sake, forgives everything.
प्रणम्य चरणाम्भोजे सर्वेषां वन्द्यमीप्सितम्
Having bowed to the lotus feet, which are desired and worthy of reverence by all,
राधामाधवयोः पादे भक्तिर्दास्यं लभेद्ध्रुवम् विलङ्घ्य सर्वलोकांश्च याति गोलोकमुत्तमम्
One who attains devotion and servitude at the feet of Radha and Madhava certainly surpasses all worlds and reaches the supreme Goloka.
