श्रुत्वा स्वप्नं जगन्नाथो देवीं कृत्वा स्ववक्षमि । आध्यात्मिकेन योगेन वोधयामास तत्क्षणम्
Hearing of her dream, the Lord of the universe placed the goddess upon his chest and, by spiritual yoga, awakened her at that very moment.
त्तयाच शोकं स देवी ज्ञानं संप्राप्य निर्मलम् । शान्तं च भगवंतं च कृत्वा कान्तं स्ववक्षसि
By his grace, the goddess abandoned her sorrow, attained pure knowledge, and, making her beloved peaceful and divine, held him to her breast.
इतिo श्रीब्रह्मo महाo श्रीकृष्णजान्मखo उत्तo नारदनाo राधाशोका- पनोदने षट्षष्टितमोऽध्यायः
Thus ends the sixty-sixth chapter in the Brahma-vaivarta Purana, in the section called 'Dispelling Radha's Sorrow,' within the narrative of Krishna's birth, as spoken by Narada.
अथा सप्तषष्टितमोऽध्यायः नारायण उवाच विरहव्याकुलां दृष्ट्वा मामिनीं काममोहनः । कृत्वा वक्षसि तां कृष्णो ययौ क्रीडासरोवरम्
Now, the sixty-seventh chapter. Narayana said: Seeing my beloved overwhelmed by separation, Krishna placed her upon his chest and went to the playful lake.
राजराजेश्वरी राधा कृष्णवक्षसि राजते । सौदामिनीव जलदे नदीने गगने मुने
Radha, queen of queens, shines upon Krishna's chest like lightning on a raincloud, or a river in the sky, O sage.
रेमे स रमया सार्धं कृपया च कृपानिधिः । द्वयोर्द्वयोर्यथा स्वर्णंमण्योर्मारकतो मणिः
He, the ocean of mercy, enjoyed with Rama (Radha) in compassion, just as a ruby rests between two pieces of gold or two emeralds.
रत्ननिर्माणपर्यङ्के रत्नेन्द्रसारनिर्मिते । नत्नप्रदीपे ज्वलति रत्नभूषणभूषितः
On a couch fashioned of jewels, made from the finest gems, beneath a lamp of jewels, adorned with jeweled ornaments, he shone.
रत्नभूषाभूषितया रासरत्नश्च कौतुकात् । रसरत्नाकरे रम्ये निमग्नो रसिकेश्वरः
Adorned with jeweled ornaments, the lord of rasa, out of delight, was immersed in the beautiful ocean of rasa, together with the jewel of rasa.
रासे रासेश्वरी राधा रामेश्वरमुवाच सा । सुरतौ विरतौ सत्यां विरते न मनोरथे
In the rāsa dance, Rādhā, the mistress of the rāsa, spoke to Rāmeśvara: 'In union there is enjoyment, in separation there is restraint; in restraint, there is no delight in the mind.'
राधिकोवाच प्रफुल्लाऽहं त्वया नाथ मृता म्लाना च त्वां विना । यथा महौषधिगणः प्रभाते भाति भास्करे
Rādhā said: 'I blossom with you, Lord; without you, I wither and die, just as a cluster of great herbs shines at sunrise.'
नक्तं दीपशिखेवाहं त्वया सार्धं त्वया विना । दिने दिने यथा क्षीणा कृष्णपक्षे विधोः कला
At night I am like a lamp-flame with you, but without you, I dwindle day by day, like the waning phases of the moon during the dark fortnight.'
तव वक्षसि मे दीप्तिः पूर्णंचन्द्रप्रभासमा । सद्यो मृता त्वया त्यक्ता कुह्वां चन्द्रकला यथा
My radiance upon your chest is like the full splendor of the moon; abandoned by you, I die instantly, like the darkened lunar phase on the new moon night.'
ज्वलदग्निशिखेवाहं घृताहुत्या त्वया सह । त्वया विनाऽहं निर्वाणा शिशिरे पद्मिनी यथा
With you, I am like a blazing flame fed by ghee; without you, I am extinguished, like a lotus in the cold season.'
चिन्ताज्वरजराग्रस्ता मत्तस्त्वयि गतेऽप्यहम् । अस्तंगते रवौ चन्द्रे ध्वान्दग्रस्ता धरा यथा
Afflicted by the fever of anxiety and old age, I am distraught when you depart, as the earth is shrouded in darkness when the sun and moon have set.'
भ्रष्टो वेषस्त्वां विना मे रुपयौवनचेतनम् । तारावली परिभ्रष्टा सूर्यसूतोदये यथा
Without you, my beauty, youth, and consciousness are lost, like a cluster of stars vanishing at sunrise.'
त्वमेवाऽऽत्मा च सर्वेषां मम नाथो विशेषतः । तनुर्यथाऽऽत्मना त्यक्ता तथाऽहं च त्वया विना
You alone are the soul of all, and especially my Lord; just as the body is lifeless without the soul, so am I without you.'
पञ्चप्राणात्मकस्त्वं मे मृताऽहं च त्वया विना । दृष्टेश्च गोलकौ जद्वद्दृष्टिः पुत्तलिकां विना
You are my five vital airs; without you, I am dead, like the sight in an eye is gone when the eyeball is lost, as in a doll.'
स्थलं यथा चित्रयुक्तं त्वया सार्धमहं तथा । असंस्कृता त्वया हीना तृणाच्छन्ना यथा मही
With you, I am like a land adorned with paintings; without you, I am unrefined, like earth covered with grass.'
त्वया सार्धमहं कृष्ण चित्रयुक्तेव मृन्मयी । त्वां विना जलधौताऽहं विरूपा मृन्मयीव च
With you, Kṛṣṇa, I am like a painted clay figure; without you, washed by water, I am misshapen, like a clay figure.'
गोपाङ्गनानां शोभा च त्वया रासेश्वरेण च । हारे स्वर्णविकारे च श्वेतेन मणिना सह
The beauty of the cowherd women is with you, Lord of the rāsa, just as a golden necklace is adorned with a white jewel.'
व्रजराज त्वया सार्ध राजन्ते राजराजयः । यथा चन्द्रेण नभसि ताराराजिर्विराजते
With you, King of Vraja, the kings shine among kings, just as a row of stars shines in the sky with the moon.'
त्वया शोभा यशोदाया नन्दस्य नन्दनन्दन । यथा शाखाफलस्कन्धैस्तरुराजिर्विराजते
With you, O son of Nanda, Yaśodā's beauty shines, just as a row of trees is splendid with branches, fruits, and trunks.'
त्वया कार्ध गोकुलेश सोभा गोकुलवासिनाम् । यथा सर्वा लोकराजी राजेन्द्रेण विराजते
With you, Lord of Gokula, the beauty of the people of Gokula shines, just as all the realms of the world shine with the presence of a great king.'
रामस्यापि च रासेश त्वया शोभा मनोहरा । राजते देवराजेन यथा स्वर्गेऽमरावती
Even Rāma's beauty, O Lord of the rāsa, is enchanting with you, just as Amarāvatī shines in heaven with the king of the gods.'
वृन्दावनस्य वृक्षाणां त्वं च शोभा पतिर्गतिः । अन्योषां च वनानां च बलवान्केसरी यथा
You are the beauty, lord, and refuge of the trees of Vṛndāvana, just as the lion is the strength of other animals and forests.'
त्वया विना यशोदा य निमग्ना शोकसागरे । अप्राप्य वत्सं मुरभिः क्रोशन्ती व्याकुला यथा
Without you, Yaśodā is plunged in an ocean of sorrow, like a cow bereft of her calf, crying out in distress, tormented by Mura's men.
आन्दोलयन्ति नन्दस्य प्राणा दग्धं च मानसम् । त्वया विना तप्तपात्रे यथा धान्यसमूहकः
Nanda's life is shaken, his mind scorched, as grain heaped in a heated vessel burns—so is he tormented in your absence.
इत्युक्त्वा परमप्रेम्णा सा पतन्ती हरेः पदे । पुनराध्यात्मिकेनैव बोधयामास तां विभुः
Having spoken thus, with supreme love, she fell at the feet of Hari; then the Lord instructed her again with spiritual wisdom.
आध्यात्मिको महायोगी मोहसंछेदकारणम् । यथा पर्शुश्च वृक्षाणां तीक्ष्णधारश्च नारद
The supreme yogic knowledge, O Nārada, is the means to cut through delusion, just as an axe with a sharp edge fells trees.
नारद उवाच आध्यात्मिकं महायोगं वद वेदविदां वर । शोकच्छेदं च लोकानां श्रोतुं कौतुहलं मम
Nārada said: O best knower of the Vedas, tell me of that supreme yogic knowledge, the destroyer of sorrow for all beings; I am eager to hear.
