Sundari Madhavam Avakalayalam

Volume 6 Song 4

1

(Refrain) sundari mādhavam avakalayālam mitra-kara-lolayā
ratnamaya-dolayā cālita-vapur ati-cāpala-mālam

Refrain: O beautiful one, please gaze upon Lord Madhava, whose transcendental form and flower garland both move in the jeweled swing pushed by the hands of Your friends.

2

keli-rasa-mādhurī-tatibhir
ati-medurī-kṛta-nikhila-bandhu-paśupālam hṛdi
vidhṛta-candanam ́ sphurad-aruṇa-vandanam
́ deha-ruci-nirjita-tamālam

The sweetness of His pastimes fills all His cowherd relatives and friends. His chest is anointed with sandal kunkuma. His form is splendid as a tamala tree.

3

vraja-hariṇa-locanā-racita-gorocanā-tilaka-ruci-rucira-tara-bhālam
smita-janita-lobhayā vadana-śaśi-śobhayā
vibhramita-nava-yuvati-jālam

His forehead is splendidly decorated with gorocana tilaka drawn by the doe-eyed girls of Vraja. The young gopis are enchanted by the moonlight of His face and overwhelmed with amorous longings created by His smile.

4

narma-naya-paṇḍitam ́ puṣpa-kula-maṇḍitam
́ ramaṇam iha vakṣasi viśālam
praṇata-bhaya-śātanam ́ priyam
adhi-sanātanam ́ goṣṭha-jana-mānasa-marālam

He is expert in joking. He is decorated with many flowers. He is charming. His chest is broad. He destroys the fears of the surrendered devotees. He is the dear, eternal swan that plays in the Manasa Lake that is the hearts of the Vrajavasis.
