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.
वरं वरेण्यं वरदं वरिष्ठं वरकारणम् । गोपिकागोपवृन्दानां सर्वेषां प्रवरं प्रभुम्
The bestower of boons, the most excellent, the giver of blessings, the supreme cause of all boons, the foremost Lord of the gopīs, the cowherds, and all beings.
निरीहं च निराकारं निर्लिप्तं च निराश्रयम् । निर्गुणं च निरुत्साहं निर्विकारं निरञ्जनम्
Unattached, formless, untouched, without support, without qualities, without desire, unchanging, and pure.
स्वेच्छामयं च साकारं भक्तानुग्रहकारकम् । सत्त्वस्वरूपं सत्येशं साक्षिरूपं सनातनम्
Of his own will, with form, bestowing grace upon devotees, the embodiment of existence, Lord of truth, the eternal witness.
परं परेशं परमं परमात्मानमीश्वरम् । प्रणम्य तुष्टुवुः सर्वे भक्तिनम्रात्मकन्धराः
The supreme, the Lord of lords, the highest, the supreme Self, the ruler; all bowed and praised him, their heads bent in devotion.
सगद्गदाः साश्रुनेत्राः पुलकाङ्कितविग्रहाः । सर्वे संस्तूय सर्वेशं भगवन्तं परात्परम्
With choked voices, tear-filled eyes, and bodies thrilled with joy, all praised the Lord of all, the Supreme among the supreme.
ज्योतिर्मयं परं ब्रह्म सर्वकारणकारणम् । अमूल्यरत्ननिर्माणचित्रसिंहासनस्थितम्
The supreme Brahman, made of light, the cause of all causes, seated on a wondrous throne crafted from priceless jewels.
सेव्यमानं च गोपालैः श्वेतचामरवायुना । गोपालिकानृत्यगीतं पश्यन्तं सस्मितं मुदा
Served by cowherds, fanned by white cāmaras, beholding with delight the dance and song of the cowherd maidens, smiling with joy.
प्राणाधिकप्रियतमं राधावक्षःस्थलस्थितम् । तया प्रदत्तं ताम्बूलं भुक्तवन्तं सुवासितम्
Most beloved, dearer than life, seated upon Rādhā’s breast, having enjoyed the fragrant betel offered by her.
परिपूर्णतमं रासे ददृशुश्च सुरेश्वरम् । मुनयो मनवः सिद्धास्तापसाश्च तपस्विनः
The sages, Manus, Siddhas, ascetics, and great tapasvins beheld the Lord of the gods, utterly complete, in the Rāsa dance.
प्रहृष्टमनसः सर्वे जग्मुः परमविस्मयम् । परस्परं समालोक्य प्रोचुस्ते च चतुर्मुखम्
All, their minds filled with joy, were struck with supreme wonder; looking at one another, they spoke to the four-faced one.
