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.
ततस्तस्याः शरीरं च गुणश्रेष्ठं बभूव ह । संविभज्य त्वया दत्तं प्रेम्णा प्ररुदता पुरा
Then her body became endowed with excellent qualities; you distributed it, giving it with love while weeping in the past.
विश्वे तु विपिने किञ्चिद्ब्रह्मणे च मयि प्रभो । शुद्धसत्त्वस्वरूपायै किञ्चिल्लक्ष्म्यै पुरा विभो
A portion was given to Viśva in the forest, a portion to Brahmā and to me, O Lord, and a portion formerly to Lakṣmī, whose nature is pure sattva.
त्वन्मन्त्रोपासकेभ्यश्च शाक्तेभ्यश्चापि किञ्चन । तपस्विभ्यश्च धर्माय धर्मिष्ठेभ्यश्च किञ्चन
And some to those devoted to your mantra, to Śāktas as well, to ascetics for the sake of righteousness, and to the most virtuous among the righteous.
मया पूर्वं च त्वं दृष्टो गोप्या च क्षमया सह । सुवेषयुक्तो मालावान् गन्धचन्दनचर्चितः
Formerly I saw you together with Gopī and with Kṣamā, splendidly adorned, wearing garlands, and anointed with fragrant sandalwood.
रत्नभूषितया गन्धचन्दनोक्षितया सह । सुखेन मूर्च्छितस्तल्पे पुष्पचन्दनचर्चिते
Together with her adorned with jewels and anointed with sandalwood and fragrance, you lay comfortably on a bed decorated with flowers and sandal paste.
श्लिष्टो निद्रितया सद्यः सुखेन नवसङ्गमात् । मया प्रबोधिता सा च भवांश्च स्मरणं कुरु
Embraced by her, who was sleeping, you were immediately filled with joy from new union; I awakened her, and you too—remember this.
गृहीतं पीतवस्त्रं च मुरली च मनोहरा । वनमालाकौस्तुभश्चाप्यमूल्यं रत्नकुण्डलम्
The yellow garment was taken, as well as the charming flute, the forest garland, the Kaustubha gem, and the priceless jeweled earrings.
पश्चात्प्रदत्तं प्रेम्णा च सखीनां वचनादहो । लज्जया कृष्णवर्णोऽभूद्भवान् पापेन यः प्रभो
Afterwards, these were lovingly returned at the urging of the companions; out of shame, you became dark in color, O Lord, because of that sin.
क्षमा देहं परित्यज्य लज्जया पृथिवीं गता । ततस्तस्याः शरीरं च गुणश्रेष्ठं बभूव ह
Kṣamā, abandoning her body out of shame, went to the earth; then her body became endowed with excellent qualities.
संविभज्य त्वया दत्तं प्रेम्णा प्ररुदता पुनः । किञ्चिद्दत्तं विष्णवे च वैष्णवेभ्यश्च किञ्चन
You again distributed it, giving it with love while weeping; a portion was given to Viṣṇu and some to the Vaiṣṇavas.
धार्मिकेभ्यश्च धर्माय दुर्बलेभ्यश्च किञ्चन । तपस्विभ्योऽपि देवेभ्यः पण्डितेभ्यश्च किञ्चन
And some to the righteous for the sake of righteousness, some to the weak, and also to ascetics, gods, and scholars.
एतत्ते कथितं सर्वं किं भूयः श्रोतुमिच्छसि । त्वद्गुणं चैव बहुशो न जानामि परं प्रभो
All this has been told to you; what more do you wish to hear? I do not know the full extent of your qualities, O supreme Lord.
इत्येवमुक्त्वा सा राधा रक्तपङ्कजलोचना । गङ्गां वक्तुं समारेभे नम्रास्यां लज्जितां सतीम्
Having spoken thus, Rādhā, her eyes reddened like lotuses, prepared to address Gaṅgā, her face lowered in modesty, chaste and bashful.
गङ्गा रहस्यं विज्ञाय योगेन सिद्धयोगिनी । तिरोभूय सभामध्ये स्वजलं प्रविवेश सा
Gaṅgā, the accomplished yoginī, understanding the secret through yoga, vanished in the midst of the assembly and entered her own waters.
राधा योगेन विज्ञाय सर्वत्रावस्थितां च ताम् । पानं कर्तुं समारेभे गण्डूषात्सिद्धयोगिनी
Rādhā, knowing through yoga that she was present everywhere, the accomplished yoginī prepared to drink by taking water into her mouth.
गङ्गा रहस्यं विज्ञाय योगेन सिद्धयोगिनी । श्रीकृष्णचरणाम्भोजे विवेश शरणं ययौ
Gaṅgā, the accomplished yoginī, understanding the secret through yoga, entered the lotus feet of Śrī Kṛṣṇa and took refuge there.
गोलोके सा च वैकुण्ठे ब्रह्मलोकादिके तथा । ददर्श राधा सर्वत्र नैव गङ्गां ददर्श सा
In Goloka, in Vaikuntha, and in Brahmaloka and the other worlds, Radhā saw everything, but she did not see the Ganges.
सर्वत्र जलशून्यं च शुष्कपङ्कं च गोलकम् । जलजन्तुसमूहैश्च मृतदेहैः समन्वितम्
Everywhere the world was without water, with dry mud, and filled with the corpses of aquatic creatures.
ब्रह्मविष्णुशिवानन्तधर्मेन्द्रेन्दुदिवाकराः । मनवो मुनयः सर्वे देवसिद्धतपस्विनः
Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Śiva, Ananta, Dharma, Indra, the Moon, the Sun, all the Manus, sages, gods, Siddhas, and ascetics—
गोलोकं च समाजग्मुः शुष्ककण्ठोष्ठतालुकाः । सर्वे प्रणेमुर्गोविन्दं सर्वेशं प्रकृतेः परम्
All of them came to Goloka, their throats, lips, and palates parched; they all bowed to Govinda, the Lord of all, who is beyond Prakṛti.
