प्रच्छाद्यमानां प्रभया सभामीशस्य सुप्रभाम् । सखीदत्तं च ताम्बूलं भुक्तवन्तीं च दुर्लभम्
Her brilliance veiled the assembly of the Lord, which was itself resplendent; she had enjoyed the rare betel offered by her companions.
अजन्यां सर्वजननीं धन्यां मान्यां च मानिनीम् । कृष्णप्राणाधिदेवीं च प्राणप्रियतमां रमाम्
Unborn, mother of all, blessed, honored and self-respecting, she is the presiding goddess of Krishna’s life-breath, most beloved to him, Rama.
दृष्ट्वा रासेश्वरीं तृप्तिं न जगाम सुरेश्वरी । निमेषरहिताभ्यां च लोचनाभ्यां पपौ च ताम्
Beholding the Queen of the Rasa, the Queen of the gods did not find satisfaction; with unblinking eyes she drank her in.
एतस्मिन्नन्तरे राधा जगदीशमुवाच सा । वाचा मधुरया शान्ता विनीता सस्मिता मुने
At that moment, Radha spoke to the Lord of the universe, her words gentle, peaceful, humble, and smiling, O sage.
राधोवाच केयं प्राणेश कल्याणी सस्मिता त्वन्मुखाम्बुजम् । पश्यन्ती सस्मितं पार्श्वे सकामा वक्रलोचना
Radha said: Who is this auspicious one, O Lord of my life, who, smiling, gazes upon your lotus face, her sidelong glances filled with desire?
मूर्च्छां प्राप्नोति रूपेण पुलकाङ्कितविग्रहा । वस्त्रेण मुखमाच्छाद्य निरीक्षन्ती पुनः पुनः
Overwhelmed by her beauty, her body thrilled with goosebumps, she repeatedly covers her face with her garment and looks again and again.
त्वं चापि तां संनिरीक्ष्य सकामः सस्मितः सदा । मयि जीवति गोलोके भूता दुर्वृत्तिरीदृशी
And you, too, always look upon her with desire and a smile; while I am alive in Goloka, such misconduct has arisen.
त्वमेव चैव दुर्वृत्तं वारं वारं करोषि च । क्षमां करोमि प्रेम्णा च स्त्रीजातिः स्निग्धमानसा
Indeed, you repeatedly commit this misconduct; out of love I forgive you, for the nature of women is tender-hearted.
संगृह्येमां प्रियामिष्टां गोलोकाद् गच्छ लम्पट । अन्यथा न हि ते भद्रं भविष्यति व्रजेश्वर
Take this beloved, desired by you, and go from Goloka, O wanton one; otherwise, O Lord of Vraja, no good will come to you.
दृष्टस्त्वं विरजायुक्तो मया चन्दनकानने । क्षमा कृता मया पूर्वं सखीनां वचनादहो
I saw you with Viraja in the sandalwood forest; I forgave you before, at the words of my friends—alas!
त्वया मच्छब्दमात्रेण तिरोधानं कृतं पुरा । देहं तत्याज विरजा नदीरूपा बभूव सा
By your utterance of my name alone, concealment was effected previously; she abandoned her body and became the river Virajā.
कोटियोजनविस्तीर्णा ततो दैर्घ्ये चतुर्गुणा । अद्यापि विद्यमाना सा तव सत्कीर्तिरूपिणी
That river, vast as ten million yojanas in breadth and four times as much in length, even now exists, embodying your noble fame.
गृहं मयि गतायां च पुनर्गत्वा तदन्तिके । उच्चै रुरोद विरजे विरजे चेति संस्मरन्
When I had gone home, returning again to that place, I cried out loudly, remembering Virajā, calling 'Virajā!'
तदा तोयात्समुत्थाय सा योगात्सिद्धयोगिनी । सालङ्कारा मूर्तिमती ददौ तुभ्यं च दर्शनम्
Then, arising from the water by her yogic power, that accomplished yogini, adorned and embodied, granted you her vision.
ततस्तां च समाक्षिप्य वीर्याधानं कृतं त्वया । ततो बभूवुस्तस्यां च समुद्राः सप्त एव च
Afterwards, having drawn her in, you performed the act of infusing strength; then, within her, seven oceans came into being.
दृष्टस्त्वं शोभया गोप्या युक्तश्चम्पककानने । सद्यो मच्छब्दमात्रेण तिरोधानं कृतं त्वया
You were seen, radiant and concealed, in the grove of champaka trees; immediately, by your utterance of my name alone, concealment was effected.
शोभा देहं परित्यज्य जगाम चन्द्रमण्डले । ततस्तस्याः शरीरं च स्निग्धं तेजो बभूव ह
Radiance, abandoning its body, went to the orb of the moon; then her body became gentle brilliance.
संविभज्य त्वया दत्तं हृदयेन विदूयता । रत्नाय किञ्चित्स्वर्णाय किञ्चिन्मणिवराय च
Dividing it, you gave it away with a heart free from sorrow: a portion to gems, a portion to gold, and a portion to excellent jewels.
किञ्चित्स्त्रीणां मुखाब्जेभ्यः किञ्चिद्राज्ञे च किञ्चन । किञ्चित्किसलयेभ्यश्च पुष्पेभ्यश्चापि किञ्चन
A portion to the lotus faces of women, a portion to kings, a portion to tender shoots, and a portion also to flowers.
किञ्चित्कलेभ्यः पक्वेभ्यः सस्येभ्यश्चापि किञ्चन । नृपदेवगृहेभ्यश्च संस्कृतेभ्यश्च किञ्चन
A portion to mature stems, a portion also to grains, a portion to the homes of kings and gods, and a portion to the refined.
किञ्चिन्नूतनपत्रेभ्यो दुग्धेभ्यश्चापि किञ्चन । दृष्टस्त्वं प्रभया गोप्या युक्तो वृन्दावने वने
A portion to fresh leaves, a portion also to milk; you were seen, radiant and concealed, in the forest of Vrindavan.
सद्यो मच्छब्दमात्रेण तिरोधानं कृतं त्वया । प्रभा देहं परित्यज्य जगाम सूर्यमण्डले
Immediately, by your utterance of my name alone, concealment was effected; radiance, abandoning its body, went to the orb of the sun.
ततस्तस्याः शरीरं च तीव्रं तेजो बभूव ह । संविभज्य त्वया दत्तं प्रेम्णा प्ररुदता पुरा
Then her body became intense brilliance; dividing it, you gave it away with love, having previously wept.
विसृष्टं चक्षुषोः कृष्ण लज्जया मद्भयेन च । हुताशनाय किञ्चिच्च यक्षेभ्यश्चापि किञ्चन
Released from your eyes, O Krishna, out of modesty and fear of me, a portion to fire, and a portion also to the yakshas.
किञ्चित्पुरुषसिंहेभ्यो देवेभ्यश्चापि किञ्चन । किञ्चिद्विष्णुजनेभ्यश्च नागेभ्योऽपि च किञ्चन
A portion to lion-hearted men, a portion also to the gods, a portion to the followers of Vishnu, and a portion also to the serpents.
ब्राह्मणेभ्यो मुनिभ्यश्च तपस्विभ्यश्च किञ्चन । स्त्रीभ्यः सौभाग्ययुक्ताभ्यो यशस्विभ्यश्च किञ्चन
A portion to brahmins, a portion to sages, a portion to ascetics, a portion to fortunate women, and a portion to those renowned.
तत्तु दत्त्वा च सर्वेभ्यः पूर्वं प्ररुदितं त्वया । शान्तिगोप्या युतस्त्वं च दृष्टोऽसि रासमण्डले
Having given that to all, you previously wept; you were seen, joined with peaceful radiance, in the circle of the dance.
वसन्ते पुष्पशय्यायां माल्यवांश्चन्दनोक्षितः । रत्नप्रदीपैर्युक्ते च रत्ननिर्माणमन्दिरे
In spring, upon a bed of flowers, adorned with garlands and smeared with sandalwood, in a palace fashioned of jewels, illuminated by jewel lamps.
रत्नभूषणभूषाढ्यो रत्नभूषितया सह । तया दत्तं च ताम्बूलं भुक्तवांश्च पुरा विभो
Adorned with jeweled ornaments, together with her who was also adorned with jewels, you once accepted betel offered by her, O Lord, and ate it.
सद्यो मच्छब्दमात्रेण तिरोधानं कृतं त्वया । शान्तिर्देहं परित्यज्य भिया लीना त्वयि प्रभो
At the very utterance of my name, you immediately made her disappear; Śānti, out of fear, abandoned her body and merged into you, O Lord.
