परात्परो गुणातीतो ब्रह्मादीनां च वन्दितः
The Supreme beyond the supreme, transcending qualities, worshipped by Brahmā and others,
ब्रह्मानन्तशिवाराध्यो भविता त्वद्वशः सति
Brahmā, Ananta, and Śiva will worship him, and he will be subject to your will.
त्वं च भाग्यवती राधे स्त्रीजातिषु न ते परा
And you, O Rādhā, are fortunate; among women, there is none greater than you.
इत्युक्त्वा पार्वती सद्यस्तत्रैवान्तर्दधे मुने
Having spoken thus, Pārvatī at once vanished there, O sage.
एतस्मिन्नन्तरे कृष्णो जगाम राधिकापुरः
Meanwhile, Kṛṣṇa came before Rādhikā.
पीतवस्त्रपरीधानं नानालंकारभूषितम्
Clad in yellow garments, adorned with various ornaments,
ईषद्धास्यप्रसन्नास्यं भक्तानुग्रहकातरम्
His face slightly smiling and gracious, eager to show favor to devotees,
शरत्पार्वणचन्द्रास्यं सद्रत्नमुकुटोज्ज्वलम् 4.27.
His face like the full autumn moon, shining with a jeweled crown.
विनोदमुरलीहस्तन्यस्तलीलासरोरुहम्
Holding the playful lotus in his hand, with the flute for amusement,
गुणातीतं स्तूयमानं ब्रह्मानन्तशिवादिभिः
Transcending qualities, praised by Brahmā, Ananta, Śiva, and others,
अव्यक्तमक्षराव्यक्तं ज्योतीरूपं सनातनम्
Unmanifest, imperishable, beyond the manifest, of the form of light, eternal,
दृष्ट्वा तदद्भुतं रूपं संभ्रमात्प्रणनाम तम्
Seeing that wondrous form, she bowed to him in awe.
दर्शंदर्शं मुखाम्भोजं सस्मिता वक्रलोचना
Again and again, she revealed her lotus-like face, smiling, with eyes curved in charm.
दृष्ट्वा हरिस्तामुवाच प्रसन्नवदनेक्षणः
Seeing her, Hari spoke, his face and gaze radiant with delight.
श्रीकृष्ण उवाच प्राणाधिके राधिके त्वं वरं वृणु मनीषितम्
Śrī Kṛṣṇa said: O Rādhikā, dearer to me than life, choose the boon you desire most.
कृष्णस्य वचनं श्रुत्वा वरं वव्रे च राधिका
Hearing Kṛṣṇa's words, Rādhikā chose her boon.
राधिकोवाच पातुं भक्तिरसं पद्मे मधुपश्च यथा मधु
Rādhikā said: May I drink the nectar of devotion, O Padmā, just as a bee drinks honey.
मदीय प्राणनाथस्त्वं भव जन्मनि जन्मनि 4.27.
May you, my beloved lord of life, be mine, birth after birth.
तव स्मृतौ गुणे चित्तं स्वप्ने ज्ञाने दिवानिशम्
May my mind dwell on your virtues and remembrance, in dream and waking, day and night.
गोपालिका ऊचुः भविष्यसि प्राणनाथः पास्यसि प्रतिजन्मनि
The cowherd girls said: You shall be the lord of her life, and you shall drink (the nectar) in every birth.
आसां च वचनं श्रुत्वा तथाऽस्त्वेवमुवाच ह
Hearing their words, he replied, 'So be it.'
क्रीडापद्मं राधिकायै सहस्रदलसंयुतम्
He gave to Rādhikā a play-lotus adorned with a thousand petals.
मालासमूहं पुष्पाणि गोपीभ्यो गोपिकापतिः
The lord of the gopīs gave garlands and flowers to the cowherd girls.
श्रीकृष्ण उवाच रासमण्डलरम्ये च वृन्दारण्ये करिष्यथ
Śrī Kṛṣṇa said: In the delightful circle of the rāsa, in Vṛndāvana, you shall perform (your play).
यथाऽहं च तथा यूयं नाहं भेदः श्रुतौ श्रुतः
Just as I am, so are you; in the scriptures, no difference between us is taught.
व्रतं वो लोकरक्षार्थं न हि स्वार्थमिदं प्रियाः
This vow of yours is for the protection of the world, not for your own sake, dear ones.
इत्युक्त्वा श्रीहरिस्तत्र तस्थौ सूर्यसुतातटे 4.27.
Having spoken thus, Śrī Hari remained there, on the bank of the daughter of the Sun.
सर्वाः प्रहृष्टवदनाः सस्मिता वक्रलोचनाः
All of them, faces beaming with joy, smiling, with charming, curved eyes.
ताः शीघ्रं प्रययुर्गेहं जयं दत्त्वा पुनःपुनः
They quickly went home, again and again offering their salutations.
इत्येवं कथितं सर्वं हरेश्चरितमङ्गलम्
Thus, all the auspicious deeds of Hari have been told.
