Radhe Nija Kunda Payasi

Volume 6 Song 42

1

rādhe nija-kuṇḍa-payasi tuṅgī-kuru raṅgam kim
́ ca siñca piñcha-mukuṭam aṅgī-kṛta-bhaṅgam

Radha, now You may enjoy in the waters of Your own lake! Violently splash the defeated Krsna!

2

asya paśya phulla-kusuma-racitojjvala-cūḍā
bhītibhir ati-nīla-nibida-kuntalam anu gūḍhā

Look! In fear He has hidden the splendid crown of flower blossoms in His thick, black hair!

3

dhātu-racita-citra-vīthir ambhasi parilīnā
mālāpy ati-śithila-vṛttir ajani bhṛṅga-hīnā

The mineral-color pictures drawn on His body have dissolved in the water. His garland has withered and the bees have left it.

4

śrī-sanātana-sumaṇi-ratnam aṁśubhir api caṇḍam
bheje pratibimba-bhāva-dambhī tava gaṇḍam

He places His eternal, ferociously splendid Kaustubha jewel against Your cheek, pretending that You are its reflection.
