Deva Hare Bhava Karunya Sali
Volume 6 Song 9
(Refrain) deva hare bhava kāruṇya-śālī sā tava
niśita-katākṣa-śarāhata-hṛdayā jīvati kṛśa-tanur ālī
(Refrain) O Lord Hari, please be merciful. Her heart wounded by the sharp arrows of Your sidelong glance, my friend is barely alive.
anadhigatākasmika-gada-karaṇam
arpita-mantrauṣadhi-nikurambam
avirata-rudita-vilohita-locanam
anuśocati tām akhila-kuṭumbam
All Her family, the actual cause of the disease, administers mantra medicines and constantly cries with reddened eyes,
hṛdi
valad-avirala-sañjvara-paṭalī-sphutad-ujjvala-mauktika-samudāyā
śītala-bhūtala-niścala-tanur
iyam avasīdati samprati nirupā;

The splendid pearls on Her breast move to and fro in the fever of Her anxiety. She has fainted and Her motionless body now lies helpless on the cold floor.
goṣṭha-janābhaya-sattra-mahā-vrata-dīkṣita
bhavato mādhava bālā
katham arhati tām ́ hanta sanātana
viṣama-daśām ́ guṇa-vṛnda-viśālā
O Madhava, O Lord initiated with a great vow to perform the sacrifice for removing the fears of the Vrajavasis, O eternal Lord, why should this virtuous girl suffer so much?
