भोक्ता च सुखदुःखानां जीवस्तत्प्रतिबिम्बकः । चक्षुषोश्चन्द्रसूर्यौ च जिह्वायां च सरस्वती
He is also the enjoyer of pleasures and pains; the soul is his reflection; the moon and sun are the eyes, and Sarasvati is in the tongue.
वसुंधरा त्वचि सदा बाह्वोस्ते लोकपालकाः । आत्मनश्चापि ते सर्पे परिचारकरूपिणः
The earth is always in the skin, the guardians of the worlds are in the arms and hands, and the serpents are the attendants of your very self.
आत्मन्येव प्रियास्ते च सर्वे गच्छन्ति जीविनः । यथा संसदि संसारे नरदेह(व) मिवानुगाः
All living beings, dear to you, enter into your very self, just as in the world, followers accompany a human body in an assembly.
तस्मात्सर्वात्मनाऽऽत्मानं भजन्ति संततं सदा । सन्तश्च परया भक्त्या ध्यायन्ते योगिनो मुदा
Therefore, the wise always worship the Self with all their being; and yogis meditate with supreme devotion and joy.
कर्मिणां कर्मणां साक्षी कुतः कर्म च गोपनम् । अन्तर्यामी च कृष्णश्च प्रचारं कुरुते मुदा
Krishna is the witness of the actions of those who act; how can actions be concealed? As the inner controller, Krishna joyfully directs their course.
कालिकोवाच नरा बालाश्च वृद्धाश्च युवानस्त्रिविधास्तथा । देवादयश्च चे सिद्धाः सर्वे जानन्ति तं परम्
Kālī said: Men, children, the aged, and the young—these three types, as well as the gods and the perfected beings—all know that Supreme One.
उद्धव उवाच सांप्रतं मूर्च्छितां राधां युक्तो बोधयितुं बुधः । अत्र युक्तिः प्रधाना त्वं तां प्रबोधय चोद्धव
Uddhava said: Now, the wise one is intent on awakening the unconscious Rādhā; in this matter, you are the chief authority—therefore, awaken her, O Uddhava.
चेतनं कुरु कल्याणि जगन्मातर्निबोध माम् । उद्भवं कृष्णभक्तस्य किंकरस्यापि किंकरम्
Make her conscious, O auspicious one, Mother of the world, listen to me; I am the servant of Krishna's devotee, and even the servant of his servant.
प्रसादं कुरु मातर्मां यास्यामि मथुरां पुनः । न स्वतन्त्रः पराधीनो योषा दारुमयी यथा
Mother, show me your grace; I will go again to Mathurā. One who is not independent, but under another's control, is like a wooden doll.
यथा वृषो वशीभूतो वृषवाहस्य संततम् । तथा मातर्जगत्सर्वं जगन्नाथस्य निश्चितम्
Just as a bull is always controlled by the bull-driver, so, Mother, the entire world is certainly under the control of the Lord of the universe.
अथ पञ्चनवतितमोऽध्यायः नारायण उवाच उद्धवस्य वचः श्रुत्वा चेतनं प्राप्य राधिका । सा चोवाच समुत्थाय रत्नसिंहासने वरे
Then, the ninety-fifth chapter. Nārāyaṇa said: Hearing Uddhava's words, Rādhikā regained consciousness, and rising, she spoke while seated on the excellent jeweled throne.
उवाच मधुरं देवी हृदयेन विदूयता । गोपीभिः सप्तभिर्भकत्या सेविता श्वेतचामरैः
The goddess spoke sweetly, though her heart was afflicted, attended by seven gopīs serving with white chowries.
राधिकोवाच मथुरां गच्छवत्स त्वं मांच (न) विस्मर संवदा । अतोऽप्यधर्मो नास्त्येव भवतो भवसागरे
Rādhikā said: Go to Mathurā, dear one, and do not forget me—keep in touch. There is no greater unrighteousness for you in this ocean of existence.
मदीयं वचनं सर्वं गत्वा कथय सांप्रतम् । श्रीकृष्णं परमानन्दं शीघ्रमानय मत्प्रभुम्
Go now and tell all my words to Śrī Krishna, the Supreme Bliss; quickly bring my Lord to me.
योषिज्जन्मनि योषित्सु संप्राप्य तादृशं पतिम् । भेदो बभूव कस्या वा मदन्या काऽपि दुःखिनी
Having obtained such a husband in a woman's birth among women, who else but me has experienced such separation or is as sorrowful?
किं ददासि प्रबोधं मे नास्ति मे बोधनोचितम् । निष्फलो देहिनां देहो विनाऽऽत्मानं सहोद्धव
Why do you give me instruction? I am not fit for awakening; the body of the embodied is useless without the Self, O Uddhava.
संप्रीत्या सह सौभाग्यं गौरवं नित्यनूतनम् । अतीव दुर्लभं प्रेम रहस्यं नवसंगमम्
With joyful affection, there is fortune, honor, ever-fresh and new; exceedingly rare is love, its secret, and the thrill of new union.
स्मरामि मनसा शश्वन्नान्यो मनसि वर्तते । रात्रौ निद्रां परित्यज्य स्मरणं शोकवर्धनम्
I remember him always in my mind; no other dwells within my heart. At night, forsaking sleep, remembrance only increases my sorrow.
मामुद्धर ध्रुवं वत्स निमग्नां शोकसागरे । जीवाभवप्रदानेन तीर्थे स्नानफलं नृणाम्
Lift me up, dear child, for I am sunk in the ocean of grief; by granting life and existence, one attains the fruit of bathing at holy places among men.
प्रबोधितुं न शक्नोमि दुर्निवारं च मानसम् । चिन्तये चरणाम्भोजं कृष्णस्य परमात्मनः
I am unable to awaken myself, and my mind cannot be restrained; I contemplate the lotus feet of Krishna, the Supreme Soul.
तद्गुणं महिमानं च प्रीतिं च प्रेमसागरम् । स्मारं स्मारं च सौभाग्यं मनो मे न स्थिरं चलम्
His virtues, his greatness, his affection, and the ocean of his love—remembering again and again this good fortune, my mind is unsteady and restless.
जगतां युवतीनां च कासां वा दुःखमीदृशम् । श्रीकृष्णभेददुःख च का वा जानाति मां विना
Among all the young women of the world, whose sorrow is like this? Who knows the pain of separation from Shri Krishna, except for me?
किं चिज्जानाति सीता साऽप्यहं च विधिबोधितम् । मत्परा दुःखिनी नास्ति कामिनीषु जगत्त्रये
Perhaps Sita knows a little, as do I, as revealed by fate; among all women in the three worlds, there is none as devoted and sorrowful as I.
कावायाति प्रतीतिं मे श्रुत्वा च मानसीं व्यथाम् । कासां वा मत्समं दुःखं युवतीनां सुतोद्धव
Who would believe my inner pain upon hearing it? Among young women, O son of Uddhava, whose suffering is equal to mine?
राधिकासदृशी स्त्रीषु न भूता न भविष्यति । दुःखिनी विरहातप्ता सुखसौभाग्यवर्चिता
Among women, none like Radhika has ever been nor will be—afflicted by separation, yet endowed with happiness, fortune, and splendor.
संप्राप्य कल्पवृक्षं च पतिं च जगतां पतिम् । वञ्चिताऽहं विधात्रा च निर्दयेन च पापिना
Having attained the wish-fulfilling tree and the Lord of the worlds as my husband, I have been deceived by the merciless and sinful creator.
जीवनं सफल जन्म सुस्निग्धं चक्षुषी मनः । तत्पादपद्मवक्त्रेन्दुरूपवेषप्रदर्शनात्
Life is fulfilled, birth is blessed, the eyes and mind are deeply satisfied—by the vision of his lotus feet, moon-like face, and beautiful form.
यन्नामश्रुतिमात्रेण पञ्च प्राणाः प्रहर्षिताः । स्मृतिमात्रात्प्रफुल्ल्यन्त आत्मा सुस्निग्ध एव च
By merely hearing his name, the five vital airs are delighted; by mere remembrance, the soul blossoms and is deeply nourished.
यश्च पस्पर्श सुरतौ यशस्त्रिभुवनष्वपि । कथा वा संपदा वत्स विस्मरामि तमीश्वरम्
He whose touch in love, whose fame in the three worlds, whose stories and wealth—I, dear child, could never forget that Lord.
त्रैलोक्यविजयं रूपं गुणमेव बिभर्ति यः । न निर्मितो यो विधिना तेनैव निर्मितो विधिः
He who possesses beauty that conquers the three worlds and all virtues; he is not created by the creator, but the creator is made by him.
