Madhava No Abicara Kula Rama
Song 26
(Refrain) mādhaba no abicāra kula-rāmā maramahi
go- i ro-i dina-yāminī guṇi guṇi tuyā guṇa-gāmā
(Refrain) O Krsna, this saintly girl is now overcome. Her heart is wounded. Day and night she weeps. She thinks and thinks of Your host of virtues.
kāñcana gorī bherī bṛndābane khela-i sahacarī meli tuyā
diṭhi miṭhi garale tanu jārala taikhane śyāmarī bheli
Meeting her friends there, a girl fair like gold enjoyed many pastimes in Vrndavana forest. Then the poison of Your sweet glance made her burst into flames. At once she became filled with thoughts of dark Krsna.
guru- jana abudha mugadha-mati
parijana alakhita biṣama beyādhi
ki karaba dhanī maṇi mantra
mahauṣadha locane lāgala samādhi
Her elders know nothing of her plight. He friends don't know what to do. Unknown to others, she is ravaged by a terrible affliction. What medicine, what mantra should we use to cure this jewel of a girl? Her eyes are now closed in a trance of samadhi.
kṣaṇe kṣaṇe aṅga bhaṅga tanu
moḍa-i kahata bharamamaya bāṇī
śyāmara nāme camaki tanu jhāmpa-i gobinda-dāsa kiye jāni
Moment after moment her body is bent and crumpled. Bewildered, she speaks nonsense. Hearing the name Syama ", she becomes startled and trembles. How can Govinda dasa know what to do?
