Aju Vipine Yaota Kana
Song 80
āju bipine yā-ota kāna mūrati mūrata kusuma bāṇa janu
jaladhara rucira aṅga bhaṅgī naṭa-bara śohanī īṣata
hasata badana-cānda taruṇī nayana nayana phānda
bimba adhare murali khurali tri- bhubana-mano-mohinī
Now Krsna goes to the forest. He is Kamadeva personified, Kamadeva who shoots arrows of flowers. His form is splendid like a monsoon cloud. He bends like the best of dancers. A gentle smile rests on the moon of His face. His eyes set a trap to catch the teenage gopis ' eyes. He play the flute at His bimbe -fruit lips. He enchants the hearts of the three worlds.
kusuma milita cikura-puñja caudike bhramara bhramarī
guñja piñcha-nicaya racita mukuṭa makara-kuṇḍala
dolanī cañcala nayana khañjana jora saghane yā-ota
śrabaṇa ora gīma śohana ratana-rāja motima-hāra lolanī
Flowers adorn His hair, flowers that attract the humming black bees on four sides. His crown is made of peacock feathers. His shark-shaped earrings swing to and fro. His glistening large eyes, eyes that reach almost to his ears, are restless like khanjana birds. The king of jewels glistens at His neck. His pearl necklace sways to and fro.
kaṭi pīta paṭa kiṅkiṇī bāja mada-gati ati kuñjara-rāja
janu-lambita kadamba-mālā matta madhukara bhoraṇī
aruṇa baraṇa caraṇa kañja aruṇa taraṇi kiraṇa gañja
gobinda-dāsa hṛdaya rañja mañju mañjāra bolanī
About His waist are a yellow cloth and a belt of jangling links. His gait is graceful and slow, like the king of elephants. His kadamba garland extends to His knees, a garland that maddens the black bees. The soles of His lotus feet are reddish like the dawn. Govinda dasa says: Graceful like a blossoming flower, Lord Krsna delights the heart.
