Will Çacé's son, who is sweetly bathed in the honey of the love in Içvara Puré's heart, whose feet are always worshiped by Govinda's splendid service, and whose face is worshiped with the billions of lotuses that are Svarüpa Dämodara's breaths, again walk on the pathway of my eyes? Text 3 dadhänaù kaupénaà tad-upari bahir-vastram aruëaà prakäëòo hemädri-dyutibhir abhitaù sevita-tanuù mudä gäyann uccair nija-madhura-nämävalim asau çacé-sünuù kià me nayana-saraëéà yäsyati punaù dadhänaù-wearing; kaupénam-a kaupina; tad-upari-above that; bahirvastram-an outer garment; aruëam-safron; prakäëòaù-a tree trunk; hemagolden; adri-mountain; dyutibhiù-with the effulgence; abhitaù-everywhere; sevita-served; tanuù-form; mudä-with hapiness; gäyann-singing; uccaiùloudly; nija-own; madhura-sweet; näma-of names; avalim-series; asau-He.

Text 4 anävedyaà pürvair api muni-gaëair bhakti-nipuëaiù çruter güòhäà premojjvala-rasa-phaläà bhakti-latikäm kåpälus taà gauòe prabhur ati-kåpäbhiù prakaöayan çacé-sünuù kià me nayana-saraëéà yäsyati punaù anävedyam-unknown; pürvaiù-previous; api-even; muni-gaëaiù-by the sages; bhakti-nipuëaiù-expert in devotional service; çruteù-to the Vedas; güòhäm-hidden; prema-of love; ujjvala-splendid; rasa-nectar; phaläm-fruit; bhakti-of devotional service; latikäm-the vine; kåpäluù-merciful; tam-that; gauòe-in Bengal; prabhuù-the Lord; ati-kåpäbhiù-with great mercy; prakaöayan-manifesting. Will Çacé's compassionate son, the Lord who very compassionately revealed in Bengal the vine of pure devotional service, which bears the

splendid nectar of pure love as its fruit, which was hidden from the Vedas, and which had been unknown to the previous sages expert in devotion, again walk on the pathway of my eyes? Text 5 nijatve gauòéyän jagati parigåhya prabhur imän hare-kåñëety evaà gaëana-vidhinä kértayata bhoù itipräyaà çikñäà janaka iva tebhyaù paridiçan çacé-sünuù kià me nayana-saraëéà yäsyati punaù nijatve-as His own; gauòéyän-the people of Bengal; jagati-in this world; parigåhya-accepting; prabhuù-the Lord; imän-them; hare-kåñëeti-the Hare Kåñëa mantra; evam-in this way; gaëana-vidhinä-according to a prescribed number; kértayata-please chant; bhoù-Oh!; itipräyam-like this; çikñäminstruction; janaka-a father; iva-like; tebhyaù-to them; paridiçan-showing.

Will Çacé's son, always staying at His favorite place behind the Garuòastambha and the tears from His eyes bathing His splendid, tall form as He gazes with intense love at Lord Jagannätha, the master of Néläcala, again walk on the pathway of my eyes? Text 7 mudä dantair dañövä dyuti-vijita-bandhüka-madhuraà karaà kåtvä vämaà kaöi-nihitam anyaà parilasan samutthäpya premëägaëita-pulako nåtya-kutuké çacé-sünuù kià me nayana-saraëéà yäsyati punaù mudä-happily; dantaiù-with teeth; dañövä-biting; dyuti-with splendor; vijita-defeated; bandhüka-bandhüka flowers; madhuram-charming; karamhand; kåtvä-doing; vämam-left; kaöi-on the hip; nihitam-placed; anyam-the other; parilasan-splendidly manifested; samutthäpya-raising; premëä-with

Text 8 sarit-téräräme viraha-vidhuro gokula-vidhor nadém anyäà kurvan nayana-jala-dhärä-vitatibhiù muhur murcchäà gacchan måtakam iva viçvaà viracayan çacé-sünuù kià me nayana-saraëéà yäsyati punaù sarit-of a river; téra-on the shore; äräme-in a garden; viraha-by feelings of separation; vidhuraù-distressed; gokula-of Gokula; vidhoù-of the moon; nadém-river; anyäm-another; kurvan-making; nayana-of the eyes; jala-of tears; dhärä-streams; vitatibhiù-with expansions; muhuù-at every moment; murcchäm-fainting; gacchan-going; måtakam-a corpse; iva-like; viçvam-the world; viracayan-considering.

Text 9 çacé-sünor asyäñöakam idam abhéñöaà viracayat sadä dainyodrekäd ati-viçada-buddhiù paöhati yaù prakämaà caitanyaù prabhur ati-kåpäveça-vivaçaù påthu-premämbhodhau prathita-rasade majjayati tam çacé-sünoù-of the son of Çacé; asya-of Him; añöakam-eight verses; idamthese; abhéñöam-desire; viracayat-granting; sadä-always; dainya-of humbleness; udrekäd-because of an abundance; ati-very; viçada-pure; buddhiù-whose intelligence; paöhati-reads; yaù-one who; prakämamaccording to His own wish; caitanyaù-Caitanya; prabhuù-Lord; ati-kåpäveçavivaçaù-overcome by compassion; påthu-great; prema-of love; ambhodhau-in the ocean; prathita-rasade-nectarean; majjayati-plunges; tam-him.

When everyone sees His graceful motions they revile the graceful mad elephant and when they see His face they spit at the moon. He is splendid as a gold mountain and the waves of His words are nectar. The appearance of Çré Caitanya Mahäprabhu, awakening in my heart, maddens me. Text 2 alaìkåtyätmänäà nava-vividha-ratnair iva valadvivarëatva-stambhäsphuöa-vacana-kampäçru-pulakaiù hasan svidyan nåtyan çiti-giri-pater nirbhara-mude puraù çré-gauräìgo hådaya udayan mäà madayati alaìkåtya-decorating; ätmänäm-Himself; nava-vividha-ratnaiù-with nine jewels; iva-like; valad vivarëatva-paleness; stambha-being stunned; asphuöavacana-stuttering; kampä-trembling; açru-shedding tears; pulakaiù-hairs standing up; hasan-laughing; svidyan-perspiring; nåtyan-dancing; çiti-giripateù-of Lord Jagannätha; nirbhara-mude-for the pleasure; puraù-before. Decorating Himself with the jewels of paleness, becoming stunned, stuttering, trembling, shedding tears, and bodily hairs erect with joy, and laughing and perspiring as He danced for the pleasure of Lord Jagannätha, may Çré Caitanya Mahäprabhu rise in my heart and make me mad with love. Text 3 rasolläsais tiryag-gatibhir abhito väribhir alaà dåçoù siïcal lokän aruëa-jala-yantratva-mitayoù mudä dantair dañövä madhuram adharaà kampa-calitair naöan çré-gauräìgo hådaya udayan mäà madayati rasolläsaiù-with ecstasy; tiryag-gatibhiù-staggering about; abhitaùeverywhere; väribhiù-with water; alam-greatly; dåçoù-of eyes; siïcansprinkling; lokän-the people; aruëa-red; jala-water; yantratva-mitayoù-

Text 4 kvacin miçräväse vraja-pati-sutasyoru-virahät çlathät chré-sandhitväd dadhad adhika-dairghyaà bhuja-padoùluöhan bhümau käkvä vikala-vikalaà gadgada-vacä rudan çré-gauräìgo hådaya udayan mäà madayati kvacin-sometimes; miçräväse-in the house of Kasi Misra; vraja-patisutasya-of the son of Nanda Maharaja; uru-virahät-because of strong feeling ofd separation; çlathät-being slackened; çré-sandhitvät-from the joints of His transcendental body; dadhat-obtaining; adhika-dairghyaàextraordinary blongness; bhuja-padoh-of thew arms and legs; luöhan-rolling; bhümau-on the ground; käkvä-with a cry of lamentation; vikala-vikalam-very sorrowfully; gadgada-vacä-with a faltering voice; rudan-crying. Sometimes Çré Caitanya would go to the house of Käçé Miçra. There He would be greatly aggrieved, feeling separation from Kåñëa. The joints of His transcendental body would slacken, and His arms and legs would become elongated. Rolling on the ground, the Lord would cry out in distress in a faltering voice and weep very sorrowfully. The appearance of Çré Caitanya Mahäprabhu, awakening in my heart, maddens me.* Text 5 anudghäöya dvära-trayam uru ca bhitti-trayam aho vilaìghyoccaiù käliìgika-surabhi-madhye nipatitaù tanüdyat-saìkocät kamaöha iva kåñëoru-virahäd viräjan gauräìgo hådaya udayan mäà madayati anudghäöya-without opening; dvära-trayam-the three doors; uru-very strong; ca-and; bhitti-trayam-three wals; ahaù-how wonderful; vilaìghyacrossing over; uccaiù-very high; käliìgika-of kalinga-desa, which is a district of Tailanga; surabhi-madhye-among the cows; nipatitaù-fallen down; tanüdyatsaìkocät-by contracting within the body; kamaöhaù-a tortoise; iva-like; kåñëoru-virahät-bercause of strong feelings of separation from Kåñëa; viräjan-appearing. How wonderful it is! Çré Caitanya Mahäprabhu left His residence without opening the three strongly bolted doors. Then He crossed over three high walls, and later, because of strong feelings of separation from Kåñëa, He fell down amidst the cows of the Tailaìga district and retracted all the limbs of His body like a tortoise. Çré Caitanya Mahäprabhu, who appeared in that way,

rises in my heart and maddens me.* Text 6 svakéyasya präëärbuda-sadåça-goñöhasya virahät praläpaë unmädät satatam ati kurvan vikala-dhéù dadhad bhittau çaçvad vadana-vidhu-gharñeëa rudhiraà kñätotthaà gauräìgo hådaya udayan mäà madayati svakéyasya-his own; präëärbuda-uncountable breaths of life; sadåça-like; goñöhasya-of Vrndavana; virahät-because of separation; praläpan-crazy talks; unmädät-because of madness; satatam-always; ati-very much; kurvandoing; vikala-dhéù-whose intelligence was disturbed; dadhat-oozing forth; bhittau-on the walls; çaçvat-always; vadana-vidhu-of His moonlike face; gharñeëa-by rubbing; rudhiram-blood; kñätottham-coming forth from injuries. Because of separation from His many friends in Våndävana, who were like His own life, Çré Caitanya Mahäprabhu spoke like a madman. His intelligence was transformed. Day and night He rubbed His moonlike face against the walls, and blood flowed from the injuries. May that Çré Caitanya Mahäprabhu rise in my heart and make me mad with love.* Text 7 kva me käntaù kåñëas tvaritam iha taà lokaya sakhe tvam eveti dvärädhipam abhivadann unmada iva drutaà gaccha drañöuà priyam iti tad-uktena dhåta-tadbhujäntar gauräìgo hådaya udayan mäà kva-where?; me-my; käntaù-beloved; kåñëaù-Lord Kåñëa; tvaritam-quickly; iha-here; tam-Him; lokaya-show; sakhe-O friend; tvam-you; eva-certainly; itithus; dvärädhipam-the doorkeeper; abhivadan-requesting; unmadaù-a madman; iva-like; drutam-very quékly; gaccha-come; drañöum-to see; priyam-beloved; iti-thus; tat-of him; uktena-with the words; dhåta-caught; tatHis; bhujäntaù-end of the arm. "My dear friend the doorkeeper, where is Kåñëa, the Lord of my heart? Kindly show Him to Me quickly." With these words Lord Çri Caitanya Mahäprabhu addressed the doorkeeper like a madman. The doorkeeper grasped His hand and replied very hastily, "Come, see Your beloved!" May that Lord Çré Caitanya Mahäprabhu rise within my heart and thus make me mad also.* Text 8 samépe nélädreç caöaka-giri-räjasya kalanäd aye goñöhe govardhana-giri-patià lokitum itaù vrajann asméty uktvä pramada iva dhävann avadhåto gaëaiù svair gauräìgo hådaya udayan mäà madayati

samépe-near; nélädreù-Jagannatha Puri; caöaka-named Cataka; giriräjasya-the king of sand-hills; kalanät-on account of seeing; aye-oh; goñöheto the place for pasturing cows; govardhana-giri-patim-Govardhana, the king of hills; lokitum-to see; itaù-from here; vrajan-going; asmi-I am; iti-thus; uktvä-saying; pramadaù-maddened; iva-as if; dhävan-running; avadhåtaùbeing followed; gaëaiù-by the devotees; svaiù-own. Near Jagannätha Puré was a great sand dune known as Caöaka-parvata. Seeing that hill, Çré Caitanya Mahäprabhu said, "Oh, I shall go to the land of Vraja to see Govardhana Hill." Then He began running madly to it, and all the Vaiñëavas ran after Him. This scene awakens in my heart and maddens me.* Text 9 alaà dolä-khelä-mahasi vara-tan-maëòapa-tale svarüpeëa svenäpara-nija-gaëenäpi militaù svayaà kurvan nämnäm ati-madhura-gänaà murabhidaù sa-raìgo gauräìgo hådaya udayan mäà madayati alam-greatly; dolä-khelä-mahasi-in the swing festival; vara-tan-maëòapatale-under a pavilion; svarüpeëa-with Svarupa Damodara; svena-own; aparanija-gaëena-with other devotees; api-and; militaù-met; svayam-personally; kurvan-doing; nämnäm-of names; ati-madhura-gänam-sweet singing; murabhidaù-of Lord Hari; sa-raìgaù-happy. Under a charming pavilion at the swing festival, with Svarüpa Dämodara and the other devotees He sweetly sang the holy names of Lord Kåñëa. May Çré Caitanya Mahäprabhu rise in my heart and make me mad with love. Text 10 dayaà yo govinde garuòa iva lakñmé-patir alaà puré-deve bhaktià ya iva guru-varye yaduvaraù svarüpe yaù snehaà giridhara iva çréla-subale vidhatte gauräìgo hådaya udayan mäà madayati dayam-mercy; yaù-who; govinde-to Govinda; garuòe-to Garuda; iva-like; lakñmé-patiù-the Lord of the goddess of fortune; alam-greatly; puré-deve-to Isvara Puri; bhaktim-devotion; yaù-who; iva-like; guru-varye-great spiritual master; yaduvaraù-the best of the Yadus; svarüpe-to Svarupa; yaù-who; sneham-love; giridharaù-Lord Giridhäré; iva-like; çréla-subale-to Subala; vidhatte-places; As Lord Näräyaëa is kind to Garuòa, He is kind to Govinda däsa. As Lord Kåñëa is devoted to His guru, He is devoted to Içvara Puré. As Lord Giridhäré loves Subala, He loves Svarüpa Dämodara. May that Çré Caitanya Mahäprabhu rise in my heart and make me mad with love. Text 11

Although I am a fallen soul, the lowest of men, Çré Caitanya Mahäprabhu delivered me from the blazing forest fire of great material opulence by His mercy. He handed me over in great pleasure to Svarüpa Dämodara, His personal associate. The Lord also gave me the garland of small conchshells that He wore on His chest and a stone from Govardhana Hill, although they were very dear to Him. That same Lord Çré Caitanya Mahäprabhu awakens within my heart and makes me mad after Him.* Text 12 iti çré-gauräìgodgata-vividha-sad-bhäva-kusumaprabhä-bhräjat-padyävali-lalita-çäkhaà sura-tarum muhur yo 'ti-çraddhauñadhi-vara-balat-päöha-salilair alaà siïced vindet sarasa-guru-tal-lokana-phalam iti-thus; çré-gauräìga-Lord Caitanya Mahäprabhu; udgata-manifested; vividha-various; sad-bhäva-of ecstaté love; kusuma-flowers; prabhä-splendor; bhräjat-shining; padyävali-verses; lalita-charming; çäkham-branch; suratarum-desire tree; muhuù-constantly; yaù-who; ati-çraddha-of great faith; auñadhi-vara-balat-on the power of the great medicine; päöha-of recitation; salilaiù-with the water; alam-greatly; siïcet-waters; vindet-will find; sarasasweet; guru-heavy; tat-of Him; lokana-the sight; phalam-the fruit. One who, with the water of careful reading mixed with the medicine of strong faith, waters this celestial tree, its charming branches the verses of this poem, and the splendor of its flowers pure love for Lord Gauräìga, will reap that tree's heavy fruit: the sight of Çré Caitanya Mahäprabhu.

Jaöilä noticed that Rädhä was wearing a yellow garment on Her breasts, Her eyes were rolling in sleepiness, and Her bimba fruit lips were deeply cut, as if someone had bit them. Although frightened at heart, Rädha' externally assumed an angry pose, became furious at Jaöilä's insinuations, and together with Lalitä, in order to defend Herself, fabricated a network of seemingly logical lies. Afterward She glorified Lalitä for her skillful help. May Çré Rädha' protect you all.

I worship Lord Caitanyacandra, the supremely independent ocean of great mercy, who with His ropes of mercy quickly lifted me from the endlessly troublesome great dry well of household life, from which escape is very difficult, who gave me the shelter of His feet, which rebuke the lotuses, and who gave me to Svarüpa Dämodara Gosvämé.

I was unwilling to drink the nectar of devotional service possessed of renunciation, but Sanätana Gosvämé, out of his causeless mercy made me drink, even though I was otherwise unable to do so. Therefore he is an ocean of mercy. He is very much compassionate to fallen souls like me, and thus it is my duty to offer my respectful obeisances unto his lotus feet.* Text 7 aty-utkatena nitaräà virahänalena dandahyamäna-hådayä kila käpi däsé hä svämini kñaëam iha praëayena gäòham äkrandhanena vidhurä vilapämi padyaiù aty-utkatena-very great; nitaräm-completely; viraha-of separation; analena-with the fire; dandahyamäna-always burning; hådayä-heart; kilaindeed; käpi-a certain; däsé-maidservant; hä-O; svämini-queen; kñaëam-for a

Çré Çré Prema-marandäkhya-stava-räja Regal Prayers Bearing the Ttile The Nectar of Pure Love Text 1 mahä-bhävojjvalä-cintäratnodbhavita-vigrahäm sakhé-praëaya-sad-gandhavarodvartana-suprabhäm mahä-great; bhäva-of ecstaté love; ujjvalac-glistening; cintä-ratnacintämaëi jewel; udbhavita-manifested; vigrahäm-form; sakhé-of friends; praëaya-of love; sad-transcendental; gandha-fragrance; vara-excellent; udvartana-increasing; suprabhäm-splendor. The love of the gopés for Kåñëa is full of transcendental ecstasy. It appears to be a brilliant jewel, and enlightened by such a transcendental jewel, Rädhä's body is further perfumed and decorated with kuìkuma. Text 2 käruëyämåta-vécibhis täruëyämåta-dhärayä lävaëyämåta-vanyäbhiù snapitäà glapitendiräm käruëya-of mercy; amåta-of nectar; vécibhiù-with waves; täruëya-of youthfulness; amåta-of nectar; dhärayä-with a stream; lävaëya-of beauty; amåta-of nectar; vanyäbhiù-with the water; snapitäm-bathed; glapita-

eclipsed; indiräm-the goddess of fortune. In the morning Her body is bathed in the nectar of compassion, in the afternoon in the nectar of youth, and in the evening in the nectar of luster itself. In this way the bathing is performed, and Her body becomes as brilliant as the cintämaëi jewel. She eclipses the goddess of fortune Lakñàédevé.* Text 3 hré-paööa-vastra-guptäìgéà saundarya-ghusåëäïcitäm çyämalojjvala-kastürévicitrita-kalevaräm hré-shyness; paööa-silken; vastra-garments; gupta-covered; aìgém-body; saundarya-beauty; ghusåëa-with kuìkuma; aïcitäm-anointed; çyämala-black; ujjvala-of conjugal love; kastüré-musk; vicitrita-colorfully decorated; kalevaräm-whose body. Her dress is composed of various kinds of silken garments, which may be compared to Her natural shyness. Her beauty is more and more enhanced, being decorated with kuìkuma, which is compared to beauty itself, and with blackish musk, which is compared to conjugal love. Thus Her body is decorated with different colors. The kuìkuma is red and the musk is black.* Texts 4 and 5 kampäçru-pulaka-stambhasveda-gadgada-raktatä unmado jäòyam ity etai ratnair navabhir uttamaiù klptälaìkåti-saàçliñöäà guëäli-puñpa-mäliném dhérädhiratva-sad-vañapaöa-väsaiù pariñkåtäm kampä-trembling; açru-tears; pulaka-hairs standing erect; stambha-being stunned; sveda-perspiration; gadgada-faltering of the voice; raktatä-bodily redness; unmadaù-madness; jäòyam-dullness; iti-thus; etai-with these; ratnaiù-jewels; navabhiù-nine; uttamaiù-transcendental; klpta-done; alaìkåtidecoration; saàçliñöäm-embraced; guëa-of transcendental qualities; äli-a host; puñpa-flower; mäliném-wearing a garland; dhéra-sober; adhira-and restless; tva-the nature; sad-vaña-paöa-väsaiù-with the garments; pariñkåtäm-decorated. Her ornaments embody the natural symptoms of ecstasy: trembling, tears, jubilation, stunning, perspiration, faltering of the voice, bodily redness, madness, and dullness. In this way the entire body is bedecked with these nine different jewels. Over and above this, the beauty of Her body is

enhanced by Her transcendental qualities, which hang as a flower garland on Her body. The ecstasy of love for Kåñëa is known as dhéra and adhéra, sober and restless. Such ecstasy constitutes the covering of Çré Rädhä's body, and it is adorned by camphor.* Text 6 pracchanna-mäna-dhammilläà saubhägya-tilakojjvaläm kåñëa-näma-yaçaù-çrävävataàsolläsi-karëikäm pracchanna-covered; mäna-jealous anger; dhammilläm-hair; saubhägyagreat fortune; tilaka-tilaka; ujjvaläm-splendid; kåñëa-of Lord Kåñëa; näma-of the holy name; yaçaù-the fame; çräva-avataàsolläsi-karëikäm-earings. Her transcendental anger toward Kåñëa is embodied as the arrangement of the hair on Her head, and the tilaka of Her great fortune shines on Her beautiful forehead. The earrings of Çré Rädhä are the holy names of Kåñëa, as well as the hearing of His name and fame.* Text 7 räga-tambüla-raktoñöhéà prema-kauöilya-kajjaläm narma-bhäñita-niùsyandasmita-karpüra-väsitäm räga-of love; tambüla-betelnut; rakta-reddened; oñöhém-lips; prema-of love; kauöilya-the crookedness; kajjaläm-mascara; narma-joking; bhäñitawords; niùsyanda-flowing; smita-smile; karpüra-camphor; väsitäm-scented. Her lips are always reddish due to the betelnut of ecstaté affection for Kåñëa. The black ointment around Her eyes is Her tricky behavior with Kåñëa brought about by love. Her joking with Kåñëa and gentle smiling is the camphor with which She is perfumed.* Text 8 saurabhäntaù-pure garvaparyaìkopari lélayä niviñöäà prema-vaicittyavicalat-taraläïcitäm saurabha-armoa; antaù-pure-in the room; garva-pride; paryaìka-the bed; upari-upon; lélayä-playfully; niviñöäm-entered; prema-of love; vaicittya-the transformations; vicalat-moving; taralä-locket; aïcitäm-decorated. She sleeps in Her room with the aroma of pride, and when She lies down in Her bed, the transcendental variety of Her loving ecstasies is like a jeweled

locket in the midst of Her necklace of separation.* Text 9 praëaya-krodha-sä-colébandha-gupti-kåta-stanäm sapatné-vaktra-håc-choçiyaçaù-çré-kacchapé-raväm praëaya-of love; krodha-and anger; sac-the transcendental ; colé-bodice; bandha-bound; gupti-hidden; kåta-done; stanäm-breasts; sapatné-of rivals; vaktra-the face; håc-and heart; choçi-withering; yaçaù-fame; çré-beautiful; kacchapé-of the véëä; raväm-the sound. Her transcendental breasts are covered by Her säré in the form of affection and anger toward Kåñëa. She has a stringed instrument known as a kacchapé-véëä, which is the fame and fortune that actually dries up the faces and breasts of the other gopés.* Text 10 madhyatätma-sakhé-skandhalélä-nyasta-karämbujäm çyämäà çyäma-smarämodamadhulé-pariveçikäm madhyatä-youthful beauty; ätma-own; sakhé-of a friend; skandha-on the shoulder; lélä-playfully; nyasta-placed; karämbujäm-lotus hand; çyämämbeautiful; çyäma-by Lord Kåñëa; smara-of Cupid; ämoda-madhulépariveçikäm-affected by the sweetness and aroma. She always keeps Her hands on the shoulder of Her gopé friend, who is compared to Her youthful beauty, and although She is highly qualified with so many spiritual assets, She is nonetheless affected by the Cupid known as Kåñëa. Thus She is defeated.* Text 11 tväà natvä yacate dhåtvä tåëaà dantair ayaà janaù sva-däsyämåta-sekena jévayämuà su-duùkhitam tväm-to You; natvä-offering respectful obeisances; yacate-begs; dhåtvätaking; tåëam-a straw; dantaiù-with the teeth; ayam-this; janaù-person; svaown; däsya-of service; amåta-the nectar; sekena--with sprinkling; jévayaplease restore to life; amum-this; su-duùkhitam-very miserable person. O Çré Rädhä, this person offers respectful obeisances unto You, taking a straw in his mouth. This person is very unhappy. Please bring him to life by

sprinkling him with the nectar of service to You.

O Gändharvikä, Çré Rädhä, just as Lord Kåñëa never rejects a surrendered soul, please don't reject me.

The person who reads these this regal prayer, which bears the title Çré Premämbhoja-maranda, will attain the direct service that brings with it the mercy of Çré Rädhä.

Kåñëa; sindhaù-of the ocean; rasasya-of the nectar; avagähaù-plunging. Without worshiping the pollen of Çré Rädhä's lotus feet, without taking shelter of Våndävana, which bears Her footprints, and without respectfully greeting the great souls whose hearts are are filled with deep love for Her, how will one be able to plunge into the nectar ocean of love for Lord Kåñëa?

Note: The friend is Çréla Rüpa Gosvämé.

When, with many splendidly affectionate words delighting Candrävalé in the company of Padmä, Çaibyä, and her other friends, will Lord Kåñëa, suddenly noticing my presence, become very embarrassed, and, asking "Where is Rädhä?" make everyone wilt in despair?

One day, hearing Çré Rädhä and Her friends enter Våndä's forest named Våndävana and happily pick Their favorite flowers, leaves, shoots, and fruits, Lord Kåñëa approached Them and arrogantly quarreled with Them in the following words. Text 2 rahaù päöacaryaù kuruta kim idaà yauvata-madät sphuöaà yuñmäbhir me vipinam apaëaà näçitam adaù ato vallary-arthe tanu-taöim avaçyaà phala-kåte

"My dear thieves, what are You doing in this solitary place? Intoxicated by youthful passion You are destroying My priceless forest. I have no other course but to arrest You for this crime. For the crime of breaking many creepers I shall now arrest all Your bodies, for the crime of picking fruits I shall confiscate Your breasts, and for the crime of picking many budding twigs I shall imprison Your lips."

Hearing these words, Lalitä knitted her eyebrows and angrily stared at Kåñëa. Some of the other gopés smiled and spoke the following words. "Dear lier, please listen, for the truth we speak is for Your benefit. Give up this false pride and go at once to Nandéçvara-pura. Do You not know of the great prowess of harsh Lalitä who can forever destroy Your good reputation in this forest?" Text 4 iti viçäkhä-kathitam äkarëya sa-darpäbhinayaà kåñëaù punaù präha

Hearing Viçäkhä's speech, dramatically arrogant Kåñëa said, "O students, do not be so bold with Me. Hearing your disrespectful words all the beautiful vines and cottages have now become very angry. How many times, as Your pious guru, have I not mercifully initiated you in the path of non-violence?" Note: Lord Kåñëa accuses the gopés of doing violence to the flowers by picking them.

When the gopés heard these words they became simultaneously angry and ashamed. From among their number Lalitä spoke the following words to defeat with logé the arrogant Kåñëa. "If a man spends money and employs many workmen to build a garden then that garden becomes his property for as long as he lives. However, You

did not build this Våndävana. Why do You claim Våndävana as Your property? Furthermore, many other people pick fruits and flowers every day in this Våndävana. Why do You trouble us and not them? When will You become impartial and equal to all? You are not impartial because You trouble us and not them."

After hearing Viçäkhä's words of logic, Kåñëa spoke the following words with dramaté pride. "You have not heard that in Vaikuëöha, Bhürloka, and Rasätalaloka the Vedas declare that this forest bears My name and is Mine. It is not your fault for intense madness, pride, and youthful ignorance have made you quite deaf." Text 7 etad äkarëya tiryag vilokayanté rädhä sa-smitam uväca aye ced yan-nämnäìkitam iti bhavet tasya vipinaà tadäsmad-våndäyä bhavati sutaräm eva kapaöin yato 'sya nämnaiva tri-jagati janair géyata iha svayaà ca çré-svämin bata tu na hi nämnä kvacid api etad-this; äkarëya-hearing; tiryag-crooked; vilokayanté-gazing; rädhäRädhä; sa-smitam-with a smile; uväca-said; aye-Oh!; ced-if; yan-of whom; nämnä-by the name; aìkitam-marked; iti-thus; bhavet-may be; tasya-of that; vipinam-the forest; tadä-then; asmad-our; våndäyä-of Vånda'-devé; bhavatiis; sutaräm-very much so; eva-indeed; kapaöin-O liar; yataù-because; asya-of that; nämnä-by the name; eva-indeed; tri-three; jagati-in the worlds; janaiù-

Hearing this Çré Rädhä glanced at Kåñëa with crooked eyes, smiled, and spoke the following words. "My dear liar, if this forest is Your property, and if it is named after You, then why in all the three worlds is this forest known as Våndävana: named after our dear friend Våndä-devé? My dear handsome and eloquent friend. this forest is not named after You." Note: The word çré-svämin may also be interpreted to mean "O husband of the goddess of fortune." Çré Rädhä did not intend this meaning when She spoke this verse, but Kåñëa took it to mean that when He framed His reply. Text 8 iti rädhäyäù sa-yuktika-väk-péyüña-mattaù çré-kåñëaù sa-smitam äha iyaà lakñmé-våndäd api madhura-våndä mama vadhür bhaven no ced ärät sa-çapatham imaà påcchata satém çrutau yad dam-patyor na hi bhavati bhedas truöir ato dvayor nau nämnaiva tri-jagati jano gäyati vanam iti-thus; rädhäyäù-of Çré Rädhä; sa-with; yuktika-logic; väk-words; péyüñaby the nectar; mattaù-intoxicated; çré-kåñëaù-Lord Kåñëa; sa-with; smitam-a smile; äha-said; iyam-this; lakñmé-of goddesses of fortune; våndäd-from the host; api-even; madhura-sweeter; våndä-Våndä; mama-My; vadhüù-wife; bhaven-is; na-not; u-certainly; ced-if; ärät-nearby; sa-with; çapatham-a vow; imam-this; påcchata-You may ask; satém-faithful; çrutau-in the Vedas; yadwhich; dam-patyoù-of husband and wife; na-not; hi-indeed; bhavati-is; bhedaù-separation; truöiù-for a moment; ataù-therefore; dvayoù-of the tow; nau-us; nämnä-by name; eva-indeed; tri-three; jagati-in the worlds; janaù-a person; gäyati-sings; vanam-the forest. Intoxicated by Rädhä's nectar logic, Kåñëa smiled and spoke the following words. "Våndä-devé, who is more charming than many goddesses of fortune, is My chaste wife. I swear that it is so. If You do not believe Me, ask her. The Vedas say that there is not the slightest difference between husband and wife, and therefore when the people of the three worlds proclaim that this forest bears the name Våndä, that word Våndä refers to Us both."

After drinking the nectar of Kåñëa's words, Rädhä turned to Våndä and whispered: "Våndä, is this true or not? Please tell Us. It is not true. Had it been true you would have feigned anger and left the assembly of your friends in a moment. With these words We have now defeated this king of liars." Text 10 idaà karëe tasyä nigaditavatéñö äçu sahasaà måñä-roñäd eñä cala-kuöila-cillé-kñaëa-taöaiù alaà çoëair eëé-dåg ati-kuöiläù prekñya sakhi täù sa-garve govinde pariñadi dadäö uttaram idam idam-this; karëe-in the ear; tasyä-of her; nigaditavatéñö-speaking; äçu-at once; sahasam-violently; måñä-with feigned; roñäd-anger; eñä-she; calamoving; kuöila-crooked; cillé-eyebrows; kñaëa-moment; taöaiù-boundary; alam-very; çoëaiù-red; eëé-doe; dåg-eyes; ati-very; kuöiläù-crooked; prekñyaseeing; sakhi-O friend; täù-them; sa-with; garve-pride; govinde-Lord Kåñëa; pariñadi-in the assembly; dadäö-gave; uttaram-reply; idam-this. When Rädhä's words fell on her ear and she saw the crooked glances of the doe-eyed gopés, Våndä-devé became red with pretended anger. Moving her crooked eyebrows, in the gopé assembly she gave the following reply to arrogant Kåñëa. Text 11 aye padmäñaëòa vraja-nagara-bhaëòa vraja-vanäd itas tvaà ced icche rucira-vana-räjatvam acirät sakhésthalyäù ñañöhéà bhaja nija-vadhüà täà kila tadä yathä sä tuñöyä te badara-vana-räjyaà vitaraté aye-O; padmäñaëòa-O eunuch of Padmä; vraja-of Vraja; nagara-of the town; bhaëòa-O laughing-stock; vraja-of Vraja; vanäd-from the forest; itaùtherefore; tvam-You; ced-if; icche-desire; rucira-charming; vana-of a forest; räjatvam-sovereignty: acirät-without delay; sakhésthalyäù-of Sakhésthalé; ñañöhém-the goddess Durgä; bhaja-please worship; nija-own; vadhüm-wife;

Eloquently glorifying Rädhä's beauty and virtues by comparing them to many other things, establishing Rädhä's sovereignty over Våndävana, and at last rebuking Kåñëa, Vånda'-devé again spoke. "The reflection of Rädhä's face is more beautiful than a host of lotus flowers. Her eyes are more beautiful than moving lotuses or restless deer. The beauty of Her raised nose is greater than the beak of a young parrot. Her glistening lips are more beautiful than the splendid bandhüka flowers.

"The limbs of your friend Rädhä have stolen the treasure that is the splendor of My charming Våndävana and made it fade and wilt. O liar, how do you expect to protect your friend with this ruse of claiming that She is identical with Våndävana?

The playful waves of the nectar Svarga-gaìgä river of these wonderful and charming crooked words rocked the firm boat of Rädhä's heart. Seeing this, all the gopés began to smile and Lalitä, also smiling, spoke the following words. "If a person traveling in the desert who is unable to get even a drop of bitter salt-water to allay his thirst, aspires to drink the heavenly nectar praised by Lord Brahmä and available only in Indra's capitol Amarävaté, then that person becomes a laughingstock in this world."

To Her friends, who were then gazing from the corners of their eyes at Vraja's prince, who is the crown of all who know how to taste nectar, Çré Rädhä then spoke the following words.

"This Kåñëa already has many mistresses. Kälé and Çaibyä are the least important of His mistresses, Padmä, who is like a great lotus flower, is in the middle, and the most important is Goddess Candrävalé, whose beautiful breasts inflame Him with lusty desires. What need has this Kåñëa for any new mistresses?"

Angry to hear these words, Lord Kåñëa, the prince of Vraja, boldly approached the gopés and was about to take their necklaces and garments when Campakalatä spoke the following sarcasté words. "Tell this saintly girl to inform the king that in this forest of blossoming flowers a certain policeman again and again worships us pious girls with bhoga and other flowers. When the king hears this he will certainly send a nice garland to this Kåñëa."

When Kåñëa heard Campakalatä's words He smiled, shook His head, and spoke the following words. "The emperor lives nearby and he has ordered Me to always protect this priceless forest. He said to Me: If anyone, either a citizen of our country, or even a foreigner, picks even a single fallen leaf or flower here, then You must at once confiscate his necklaces and clothing.'

After speaking these joking words, Lord Kåñëa lifted His neck and, peering at the gopés, spoke the following words. "Although your belt is full of all auspicious virtues it will not be spared.

Kåñëa hesitated for a moment, glanced at Çré Rädhä's belt, exclaimed "Very good!" and then spoke to Rädhä the following words. "O Rädhä, the saintly gopés jokingly glorify Your new belt, proclaiming it to be very virtuous and saintly. Out of kindness to Me let this belt become free

from its firm, tight bonds before My eyes. I promise that I shall tie it back again very firmly."

Under this belt I can already see what at first appears to be a line of hairs, but what I know in fact to be a swarm of black bees. These bees must have congregated here because they were attracted by the sweet fragrance of the stolen flowers hidden here." When Tuë#avidyä-gopé heard these words she knitted her eyebrows and spoke the following words as Kåñëa forced Çré Rädhä to go with Him into a nearby cottage. "O prince of cheaters, because You said You would take only our necklaces, and because You are the son of the king, we at first tolerated what You have done to us. Now it is different. Listen. Because of what we have now seen we have lost all shame. Now we have no recourse but to steal Your dearmost

flute and break into pieces. I swear we will do this to avenge our honor."

Çré Kåñëa then spoke the following high-handed order. "My friends, although you have obediently given your necklaces to Me, and although I have kindly allowed you to follow Me for some distance, I am now asking you to leave. I am the intelligent prince of Vrajapura, and I carefully guard my blossoming forest of Våndävana. I know all about the psychology of friendship, and I know that this thief, the treacherous Rädhä, is not actually your friend. You should at once leave Her company, for She is not fit to associate with you."

When Lalitä heard these words she became very happy at heart, although she pretended to rebuke Kåñëa with the following words, which carry a hidden meaning. "Rake! Liar! in our presence You proudly advertise Yourself saying `I am the intelligent prince of Vraja.' Don't be so proud. the great queen Rädhä is Your superior in every respect. You worship Kämadeva, who in turn worships the the nectar mellows of amorous pastimes, which in turn worship our friend Rädhä. Because Rädhä is worshiped by the object of the object of Your worship She is Your superior. She is now displeased with You and She will now burn You to ashes with Her anger." Note: The last part of this verse is deliberately ambiguous and may also be understood to mean "Rädhä has become inflamed (pratapati, with amorous desire. She is more agitated than You (tvad-upari)" Text 37 kuöila-dåñöyä sa-häsa-lajjayä täm avalokayantéà çré-rädhäà prati çré-kåñëo vyajahära mudhä-vädaà rädhe na såja nija-mattäli-lapanäd vraje çuddhä sädhvé yad asi tad idaà väcëi vinayaiù tvam etä hitvogrä vana-kara-kåte mahyam acirät prasädaà dattvä te rucira-çuci-mäläà vraja gåham kuöila-crooked; dåñöyä-with a glance; sa-with; häsa-a smile; lajjayä-with shyness; täm-Her; avalokayantém-gazing; çré-rädhäm-Çré Rädhä; prati-to; çré-kåñëaù-Lord Kåñëa; vyajahära-said; mudhä-useless; vädam-words; rädheO Rädhä; na-don't; såja-create; nija-own; matta-mad; äli-friends; lapanädfrom the words; vraje-in Vraja; çuddhä-pure; sädhvé-chaste and saintly; yadwhich; asi-You are; tad-that; idam-this; väcëi-in the words; vinayaiù-with humbleness; tvam-You; etä-them; hitvä-abandoning; ugrä-ferociously angry; vana-in the forest; kara-the toll; kåte-for the sake; mahyam-to Me; acirät-at once; prasädam-mercy; dattvä-giving; te-of You; rucira-charming; çucisplendid; mäläm-garland; vraja-please go; gåham-to the cottage. As Çré Rädhä gazed at Him with a shy smile and crooked eyes, Lord Kåñëa said the following words. "My dear Rädhä do not speak nonsense, misled by the words of Your mad friends. With all humbleness I declare that You are the most chaste and saintly girl in Vraja. Give up the company of these ferocious girls and come with Me. To pay the taø You owe the owner of this forest at once enter this cottage and give me the flower garland of Your mercy." Text 38 tä chrutvä sa-bhrü-bhaìgaà çré-rädhä bhaìgyäha

Lord Kåñëa then smiled and spoke the following arrogant words "O gopés who devotedly eat the remnants of My meals in Vraja, who has given you the power to destroy My forest? To pacify the ruler of this place you must now enter the very dark room of this cave on the king of mountains." Text 40 tad äkarëya sa-smita-garvaà viçäkhäbravét

Note: If the word indukänti is interpreted to mean Çré Rädhä, and if the word abhimanyu to mean Abhimanyu, then the verse may be understood to mean:

Çré Däna-nirvartana-kuëòäñöaka Eight Prayers Glorifying Çré Däna-nirvartana-kuëòa Text 1 sva-dayita-giri-kacche gavya-dänärtham uccaiù kapaöa-kalaha-kelià kurvator navya-yünoù nija-jana-kåta-darpaiù phullator ékñake 'smin sarasi bhavatu väso däna-nirvartane naù sva-own; dayita beloved; giri-hill; kacche-near; gavya-milk products; däna-wealth; artham-for the purpose; uccaiù-greatly; kapaöa-mock; kalaha-quarrel; kelim-pastime; kurvatoù-doing; navya-yünoù-of the youthful divine couple; nija-own; janapeople; kåta-done; darpaiù-pride; phullatoù-blossoming; ékñake-witness; asmin-in this; sarasi-lake; bhavatu-may be; väsaù-residence; dänanirvartane-in the toll pastime; naù-of us. At the base of Their favorite hill, the youthful divine couple pretended to quarrel over Kåñëa's claim to collect a toll of yogurt and milk-products. The arrogant joking words of Rädhä's friends made the divine couple blossom with happiness. I pray that I may reside at Däna-sarovara, the witness of this däna-keli pastime. Text 2 nibhåtam ajani yasmäd däna-nirvåttir asmin ata idam abhidhänaà präpa yat tat sabhäyäm rasa-vimukha-nigüòhe tatra taê-jïaika-vedye sarasi bhavatu väso däna-nirvartane naù nibhåtam-in a secluded place; ajani-was manifested; yasmäd-from which; däna-nirvåttiù-the collection of a toll; asmin-in this; ata-therefore; idam-this; abhidhänam-name; präpa-attained; yat-which; tat-that; sabhäyäm-in the assembly; rasa-to the mellows of pure devotional service; vimukha-averse;

nigüòhe-hidden; tatra-there; taj-that; jïa-knowing; eka-only; vedye-to be known. Because Çré Kåñëa enjoyed the däna-keli pastime in a secluded place by the shore of this lake, it has become known as Däna-sarovara. The truth of this lake remains hidden to persons averse to the mellows of pure devotional service. Only the devotees have the power to understand it. I pray that I may reside at Däna-sarovara, where the divine couple enjoy the däna-keli pastime.

It is beautiful with the graceful pastimes of many birds. It is cool, fragrant with many charming lotuses, and filled with the sounds of swarms of bees intoxicated by the aroma of fresh honey. I pray that I may reside at Dänasarovara, where the divine couple enjoy the däna-keli pastime.

I pray that I may reside at Däna-sarovara, where the divine couple enjoy the däna-keli pastime. Text 5 dara-vikasita-puñpair väsitäntar-dig-antaù khaga-madhupa-ninädair modita-präëi-jätaù

Accompanied by Their affectionate young friends, the divine couple enters the nearby forest groves filled with newly-blossoming flowers and humming bees and enjoys incomparable ever-fresh pastimes there. I pray that I may reside at Däna-sarovara, where the divine couple enjoy the däna-keli pastime.

Kåñëa, the moon of Vraja also circumambulates, joking with His friends, and on various pretexts glancing at Çré Rädhä.

"Who is this goddess, the vine of Her arm resting on Kåñëa's shoulder and the hairs of Her body upright in ecstasy as She gazes at the beauty of this forest near a hill?"

He was my life and soul. Again and again he kindly splashed me with the fragrant waters of shoreless ocean of limitless love. Now misfortune forces me to become swallowed by the forest fires of material calamities. I have no shelter. Except for him, of whom can I take shelter? Note: In this and the following verses Çréla Raghunätha däsa Gosvämé speaks of Çréla Rüpa Gosvämé. Text 11 çünyäyate mahä-goñöhaà giréndro 'jagaräyate vyäghra-tuëòäyate kuëòaà

Now that I no longer have the sustainer of my life, the land of Vraja has become empty and desolate, Govardhana Hill has become like a great python, and Rädhä-kuëòa has become like the gaping mouth of a ferocious tiger.
