Sundari Radhe Aoye Dhani

Song 38

1

(Refrain) sundarī rādhe ā- oye
dhanī braja-ramaṇī-gaṇa-mukuṭa-maṇi

(Refrain) Beautiful glorious Radha, the crest-jewel of Vraja's beautiful girls, has come!

2

kuñcita-keśinī nirupama-beśinī rasa ābeśinī bhaṅginī re
adhara suraṅgiṇī aṅga taraṅgiṇī
saṅginī naba naba raṅgiṇī re

Her curly hair is graceful. Her garments have no peer. Her graceful gestures are plunged in nectar, O! Her lips are red. Her limbs are a wave-filled stream of nectar. A joyful girl is Her companion, O!

3

kuñjara-gāminī motima-daśanī dāminī camaka nehāriṇī re

Her glorious graceful motions are like those of a graceful elephant. Her teeth are like pearls. She is wonderful to behold, wonderful like a lightning flash, O!

4

naba anurāgiṇī akhila sohāginī pañcama rāgiṇī mohinī re
rāsa-bilāsinī hāsa-bikāśinī gobinda-dāsa cita-śohinī re

She is filled with ever-new spiritual love. She possesses all auspiciousness and good fortune. She sings enchanting melodies in the fifth raga, O! She enjoys pastimes of rasa -dancing. She blossoms with smiles. She is splendidly manifest in Govinda dasa's heart, O!
