I know that it is futile to express my love for him. Still, what am I to do? My attachment for him is so powerful that it will not go away under any circumstances. I just go on enumerating his wonderful qualities. When I realize my eminence, I become maddened with ecstasy. I cannot be angry with him, even by mistake; and I feel satisfied when I overlook his faults. I ardently long for him at every moment. Saki, I cannot forget him. My Heart wants only HIM” nibruta-nikuñja-gruham gataya, nisi rahasi niliya vasantam | chakita-vilokita-sakala-disha, rati-rabhasa-bharnea hasantam ||1|| Once, he went to a secluded forest bower at night in accordance with the plan we had discreetly arranged by hints and signals. In a mischievous mood, he concealed himself in the dense foliage of the forest just to observe my eagerness to meet him and my agony in his absence. I began to look around with tired,fearful eyes, immersed in anxiety and thinking ‘Oh, when will he come?’ Then he suddenly delighted me with the nectar of his amorous laughter. sakhi he kesi-mathana mudaram ramaya maya saha madana-manoratha-bhavitaya sa-vikaram (sakhi he)||dhruvapada|| Kesi-mathana Krishna is never lacking in generosity when it comes to relieving the burning heat of Kamadeva. What’s more, his mind is also bewildered by attachment for me. My feelings are ornamented by Him; how will my desire to unite with him be fulfilled? Arrange for our meeting immediately. prathama-samagama-lajjitaya, patu-chatu-shatai ranukulam | mrudu-madhura-smita-bhashitaya, shithi-likruta-jaghana-dukulam (Krishnam, sakhi he) ||2|| “Seeing me so naive and gullible due to the natural embarrassment that occurs during one’s first amorous encounter, he employed a succession of courteous words and humble entreaties to abate my shyness. Enchanted by his flattering words, I smiled softly and sweetly and began to converse with him. O sakhi, immediately arrange for me to meet with him!” kisala-shayana-nivediitaya, ciram urasi mamaiva shayanam | kruta-parirambhana-chumbanaya, parirabhya krutadhara-panam (Krishnam, sakhi he) ||3|| “He made me lie down upon a charming bed of soft, fresh flowers and then, with great pleasure, he laid so radiantly upon my heart. I kissed him and embraced him deeply. Moreover, he embraced me and repeatedly drank the nectar of my lips under the powerful influence of ananga-rasa. O sakhi, he is dearer to me than my very life. Take me to meet with him at once.” alasa-nimilita-locanaya, pulaka vali-lalita-kapolam | shrama-jala-sakala-kalevaraya, vara-madana-mada datilolam (Krishnam, sakhi he) ||4|| “From the sudden, unexpected surge of rapture within the pleasure of passionate love with him, my eyes became tired and closed. Krishna’s cheeks assumed an extraordinary charm and loveliness from the joy of this love-play. With sweat of love all over, His looks intoxicate me. Krishna is full of love. O sakhi, quickly arrange for me to meet with Sri Krishna!” kokila-kala-rava-kujitaya, jita-manasija-tantra-vicharam | shlatha-kusuma kula-kuntalaya, nakaha-likhita-ghana-stana-bharam (Krishnam, sakhi he) ||5|| “Sri Krishna is thoroughly conversant with the confidential theories found in authentic manuals on the techniques of lovemaking (rati-sdstrd). At the time of amorous union with Krishna, I murmur like a cuckoo & think of Him only. My braid opened and the arrangement of flower blossoms slipped and fell from my hair & I bear his nail marks. O sakhi, arrange for me to meet with my dearest Sri Krishna at once!” charana-ranita-mani-npuraya pari purita-surata-vitanam | mukhara-vishru khala-mekhalaya, saka chakraha-chumbana-danam (Krishnam, sakhi he) ||6|| “As we enjoyed amorous play, the jewel-studded ankle-bells on my feet rang out seeing His love. Unite me at once with that Sri Krishna who catches me by the hair, repeatedly kisses my face. “ rati-sukha-samaya-raslasaya, dara-mukulita-nayana-sarojam | nisaha-nipatita-tanu-lataya, madhusdana mudita-manojam(Krishnam, sakhi he) ||7|| “While enjoying with him, I gradually became exhausted. Krishna’s slightly open lotus eyes were soaked in the mellows of manmatha. I cling like a creeper & Madhusudhana delights me in his love. O sakhi, unite me with my dearest Sri Krishna at once.” sri-jayadeva-bhaitam idam atiaya-madhu-ripu-nidhuvana-shilam | sukham utkan thita-Radhikaya, kathitam vitanotu salilam (sakhi he keshi…)||8|| This narration composed by Sri Jayadeva portrays Sri Krishna’s love as described by the anxious and impatient heroine in the tor- ment of her separation. May it increase the auspiciousness of all devotees who recite and hear it. ************** hasta-srasta-viläsam-vamsham anruju | bhrü-valli mad-ballavi vrindotsäri-dåganta vikshitam, atis vedärdra, ganda-sthalam …| mäm udvékshya, vilajjitaà, smita-sudhä, mugdhä-nanam-känane… govindam, vraja-sundari, gana-vrutam, pashyämi håshyämi ca ||10|| “Enchanting flute in His hand, lies fallen under his coy glances. Sweat of love beads wets His delicate cheeks. His bewitching face is smiling, when he sees me watching Him playing in forest with Gopis. I feel an indescribable bliss on seeing his reaction.” duräloka-stoka-stavaka-navaka- shoka-latikä- vikäsa:, käsäro-pavana-pavanoyam, vyathayati… | api bhrämyad, bhìngi-ranita, ramaniyä… na mukula prasütishu cütänäm, sakhi …shikhara-nëéyam sukhayati ||11|| “Wind from the lake side garden, coaxing birds on the trees & clusters of scarlet flowers are all fanning the flames to burn me. This mountain of new mango blossoms, humming with roving bumblebees, is no comfort to me now, Saki” saaküta-smitam, aakula kula-galad-dham millam, ulläsita bhrü…-vallikam, aléka-darshita, bhujä-mülordhva, drista-stanam | gopinäm, nibhrutam, nirekshya gamitäm-känksha-ciram-cintayann antar mugdha, manoharam, haratu va:, klesham, nava keshava: ||12|| The gopis’ smiles conveyed their intentions so clearly that even a naive person would be attracted. Their braids loosened as the pores of their skin thrilled with intense desire. Yet such gestures were to no avail. Krishna reflected deeply for a long time, gradually destroying his last aspirations for the company of the gopis. Now he is exhilarated exclusively by Radha’s emotions and his astonishment increases at every new moment. May that youthful Kesava destroy the sufferings of you all.
