रावणेन हृता त्वं च स्वं च रामस्य कामिनी । नानारूपा यथा त्वं च च्छायया कलया सती
You, who were abducted by Rāvaṇa, are also the beloved of Rāma; just as you take many forms, so do you by your shadow and portion, O virtuous one.
नानारूपस्तथाऽहं च श्वांशेन कलया तथा । परिपूर्णतमोऽहं च परमात्मा परात्परः
In the same way, I too take many forms, by my portion and shadow; yet I am the most complete, the Supreme Self, beyond all.
इति ते कथितं सर्वमाध्यात्मिकमिदं सति । राधे कर्वापराधं मे क्षमस्व परमेश्वरी
Thus, O Satī, I have told you everything spiritual; O Rādhe, forgive my offense, O Supreme Lady.
श्रीकृष्णवचनं श्रुत्वा परितुष्टा च राधिका । परितुष्टाश्च गोप्यश्च प्रणेमुः परमेश्वरम्
Hearing the words of Śrī Kṛṣṇa, Rādhikā was satisfied; the gopīs too were satisfied and bowed to the Supreme Lord.
इति श्रीब्रह्मo महाo श्रीकृष्णजन्मखo उत्तo नारदनाo षड्विंशत्यधिकशततमोध्यायः
Thus ends the great Brahma section, the birth of Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the twenty-sixth chapter, narrated by Nārada.
अथ सप्तविंशत्यधिकशततमोऽध्यायः नारायण उवाच श्रीकृष्णवचनं श्रुत्वा प्रहृष्टा गोपिका मुदा । मन्दिरं प्रययुः सर्वाः प्रणम्य राधिकां प्रभुम्
Now begins the one hundred twenty-seventh chapter. Nārāyaṇa said: Hearing the words of Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the gopikās were delighted with joy; all went to the temple, bowing to Rādhikā and the Lord.
राधाशृङ्गारभावं च कलाषोडशपूर्वकम् । चकार सस्मिता साध्वी वक्रचञ्चललोचना
Rādhā, with sixteen-fold mood of adornment, performed it smilingly, she, the virtuous one with playful, restless eyes.
दत्त्वा च चन्दनं माल्यं स्वामिने पुनरेव च । रहस्यं च परीहास्यं पुनरेव चकार सः
Having given sandalwood and garlands to her Lord, she again engaged in secret jesting.
आकृष्य राधिकां कृष्णः समानीय स्ववक्षसि । ओष्ठाधरं कपोलं च गण्डयुग्मं चुचुम्ब च
Kṛṣṇa drew Rādhikā near, bringing her to his chest; he kissed her lips, lower lip, and both cheeks.
राधा चुचुम्ब कृष्णस्य मुखचन्द्रं मनोहरम् । चकार कृष्णं प्राणेशं बाहुभ्यां च स्ववक्षसि
Rādhā kissed Kṛṣṇa's enchanting moon-like face; she embraced Kṛṣṇa, Lord of her life, with her arms to her own chest.
शृङ्गारं षोडशविर्धं कामशास्त्रोक्तमीप्सितम् । स्त्रीपुंसोस्तोषजनकं चकार भगवान्प्रभुः
The Lord performed sixteen-fold amorous acts, as taught in the science of love, pleasing both woman and man.
नखविक्षतसर्वाङ्गा दशनेनाधरक्षता । पुलकाञ्चितदेहा स तन्द्रिता वामनस्तनी
Her whole body was scratched by nails, her lower lip was bitten by teeth; her body was thrilled, she was languid, with small breasts.
मीर्च्छिता सुखसंभोगाद्विलग्ना हतचेतना । श्वासमात्रावशेषा च निद्रामुद्रितलोचना
Exhausted from pleasurable union, clinging and bereft of consciousness, she remained with only her breath, her eyes closed in sleep.
रतिशूरा कोमलाङ्गी कान्तावक्षः स्यलस्थिता । शीते सुखोष्णसर्वाङ्गी ग्रीष्मे सा सुखशीतला
A heroine in love, with tender limbs, resting upon her beloved's chest, her whole body warm in the cold and cool in the heat.
शृङ्गारकाले सुखदा सान्द्रश्रोणिपयोधरा । नितम्बभारानम्रा च प्रसङ्गे सुखदायिका
At the time of passion, she brought delight, with full hips and breasts, her waist bending under their weight, ever a giver of pleasure in intimacy.
विदग्धा रसिका श्रेष्ठा कामुकी च वराङ्गना । सहसा चेतनं प्राप्य शुश्राव कोकिलध्वनिम्
Skilled, refined, and foremost among lovers, that beautiful woman, suddenly regaining consciousness, heard the song of the cuckoo.
श्रुत्वा परमभीता सा दीना दीनविशङ्कया । उवाच परमा सा च परमेशं परात्परम् बाहुश्रोणियुगाम्यां च निबध्य च पुनः पुनः
Hearing it, she became deeply afraid, distressed and anxious, and she addressed the Supreme Lord, the highest of all, again and again embracing his arms and hips.
राधिकोवाच रासं गच्छ महाभाग पुण्यं वृन्दावनं वनम् । तत्र क्रीडां करिष्यामि जलेन च स्थलेन च
Rādhikā said: Go to the sacred forest of Vṛndāvana, O greatly fortunate one; there I will play with you, both in the water and on land.
पुनर्यास्यामि मलयं सुन्दरं मणिमन्दिरम् । अपरं यद्रहस्यं वा जन्मला न श्रुतं मया
Then I will return to the beautiful Malaya, to the jeweled palace, or perhaps to some secret place whose origin I have never heard.
तत्र यामि त्वया सार्धमिति मे लालसा परा । परस्परैकालापेन प्रययौ रजनी शुभा
There, I long to go together with you; as they conversed with each other, the auspicious night passed.
अरुणोदयकालेऽपि न त्यजेन्माधवं सती । माधवः प्रीतिवचसा बोधयामास साघनात्
Even at the break of dawn, the faithful one did not leave Mādhava; Mādhava, with words of affection, gently awakened her.
प्रातः कृत्यं ततः कृत्वा स्वारुरोह रथं हरिः । गोपीभी राधया सार्धं शरत्कमललोचनः
Then, after performing his morning duties, Hari, with eyes like autumn lotuses, mounted his chariot along with the Gopīs and Rādhā.
योजनायतविस्तीर्ण गृहेस्त्रिशतकोटिभिः । मणीन्द्रसारनिर्माणैर्ज्वलद्भिरुपशोभितम्
The chariot, vast as a league in length and width, was adorned with three hundred million houses, constructed of the finest jewels, shining brilliantly.
गोलोकादागतं तत्र मनोयायि मनोहरम् । सहस्रचक्रसंयुक्तं महस्राश्वैः प्रचालितम्
That wondrous, mind-enchanting chariot, come from Goloka, equipped with a thousand wheels and drawn by thousands of radiant horses.
मणिस्तम्भैश्त्रिकोटीभी रत्नराजिविराजितम् । मुक्तामाणिक्यपरमैर्हीरहारैः सुशोभितम्
It was resplendent with thirty million jewel pillars, adorned with the finest pearl, ruby, and diamond necklaces.
नानाचित्रैर्विचित्रैश्च श्वेतचामरदर्पणैः । वह्निशुद्धांशुकैर्दीप्तैर्मालाजालैर्विभूषितम्
It was decorated with various marvelous white yak-tail fans and mirrors, shining cloths purified by fire, and garlands of radiant flowers.
रत्निर्माणतल्पैश्च पुष्पचन्दनचर्चितम् । समानरूपवेषैश्च गोपीलक्षैः समावृतम्
With beds made of jewels, anointed with sandal and flowers, and surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Gopīs, all dressed alike.
रथेन तेन भगवान्पुनर्वृन्दावनं ययौ । तत्र गत्वा निशाकाले विजहार जले स्थले
With that chariot, the Blessed Lord returned again to Vṛndāvana; there, at night, he sported both in the water and on land.
शृङ्गारं सुचिरं कृत्वा वनेषूपवनेषु च । राधिकां दर्शयामास यथासर्व च नूतनम्
After enjoying love for a long time in the forests and groves, he revealed Rādhikā, ever new in every way.
विस्पन्दके सुरसने माहेन्द्रे नन्दने वने । सुमेरुशिखरे रम्ये पर्वते गन्धमादने
In the Vispanda, Surasana, Māhendra, and Nandana forests, on the delightful summit of Mount Sumeru, and on Gandhamādana mountain.
