Govardhana Giri Vare
Swabhista Lalasa Song 3
govardhana girivara kevala nirjana
sthala rāi kānu karibe śayane
lalitā-viśākhā-saṅge sevana
kariba raṅge sukhamoy rātūl caraṇe
In a solitary place on Govardhana Hill, the best of mountains, Sri Sri Radha and Krsna sit on a couch. When, accompanied by Lalita and Visakha, will I jubilantly serve Their reddish lotus feet?
kanaka sampuṭa kari karpūra
tāmbūla bhari jogāiba badana-kamale
maṇimoy kiṇkiṇi ratna nupūra āni parāiba caraṇa-jūgale
When will I take camphor and betel-nuts from a golden box, and place it in their lotus mouths? When will I place jewel ankle-bells on Their lotus feet?
kanaka kaṭorā puri sugandhi candana
bhari doṅhākāra śri-aṅge dāliba
guru-rūpā-sakhībāme tribaṅga
bhaṅgimā ṭhāme cāmarera bātāsa kariba
When will I fill a golden goblet for the Divine Couple? When will I anoint Their beautiful limbs with aromatic sandal paste? When, my spiritual master, in his original form as a gopi, at my left, will I fan Their three-fold bending forms with a camara wisk?
donhār kamala āṅkhi pūlaka haiyā
dehki duhuṅ pada paraśiba kare
caitanya-dāsera dās mane mātra
abhilāś narottama dāse sadā sphure
When, seeing the lotus eyes of the Divine couple, will the hairs of my body stand up in ecstasy? When will I directly touch their lotus feet? Narottama dasa, who is the servant of Lord Caitanya's servants, desires in this way. He has no other desire.
