Sataka Nine

1 When, laughing, dancing, singing, the hairs of my body erect, my eyes filled with tears, my body stunned, covered with perspiration, and displaying the various symptoms of very sweet devotional ecstasy, will I, continually remembering my beloved Sri Sri Radha-Krsna, and mad with ecstatic love, continually reside in Vrndavana?

2 When will my heart plunge in the blissful ocean of the beauty, sweetness, and playfulness a Radha’s two lotus feet? When, renouncing impersonal liberation and all great material opulences as if they were a clump of grass, will I reside in Vrndavana?

3 My heart is enchanted by Sri Radha, who walks in Her transcendental forest, Her feet beautiful as lotus flowers, Her anklebells sweetly tinkling, Her feet flooding the surface of the ground with a golden and reddish sweetness, and Her jewelled anklets and splendid toe rings brightly glistening.

4 Will I, unmoved by the touch of the Vedic or public opinion, my heart rapt in meditation on th greatest sweetness, and the bumblebee of my heart intoxicated by tasting the great sweetness of the nectar of the lotus flower of Sri Radha’s feet, stay here in Vrndavana?

5 Who would not become enchanted by meditating on Sri Radha’s youthfulness, beauty, cooling nectar eloquent words, the graceful motions of Her golden limbs, or Her tears, erect bodily hairs, and other symptoms of ecstatic love?

6 Please meditate on Sri Radha’s face, which is like the whorl of blossoming golden lotus illumined by a limitless shower of moonlight and filled with very sweet nectar that Lord Hari, whose complexion is like a blue lotus, yearns to taste.

7 Please meditate on the moon of Radha’s face, which showers a great monsoon of splendid golden moonlight on the material and spiritual worlds, and which is the life and soul of the cakora bird that is Lord Krsna.

8 I offer my respectful obeisances to the eternally youthful queen of Vrndavana, whose beautiful transcendental form is filled with the sweetest nectar of pure transcendental love.

9 Please meditate on the flooding golden oceans of the sweet nectar of Sri Radha’s love, which have now covered the spiritual and material worlds.

10 Many charming girls who make even the most beautiful transcendental young girls seem as insignificant as so many blades of grass, place their heads on the forest ground before the feet of my queen, Radha.

11 Please meditate on Sri Radha, who is the most splendidly beautiful of all beautiful girls, and who is worshipped by the most intelligent and beautiful girls in the three worlds.

12 Let me glorify the gopi maidservants who attend Sri Radha’s lotus feet, from which flows a nectar ocean of the bliss of unrestrained, sweet pure love.

13 Even though I have not performed a single pious deed, and even though I have committed every sin, shall I not attain spiritual perfection simply by chanting the two syllable mantra “Radha”.

14 O Vrndavana, even though I am reckless, even though my actions are opposed by the most learned gurus and theologians, and even though I am a slave to my senses, please allow me to reside within your boundaries. Please do not abandon me.

15 Alas! I have committed millions of sins. I am more fallen than the outcastes. I have not taken shelter of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. O Vrndavana, will you give me shelter?

16 Even though you are very difficult to attain, I still hope that I may reside within your boundaries. Now my senses have become enemies. O Vrndavana, what will become of me?

17 May I live in hell millions of times. May I never attain my desires. May the Supreme Personality of Godhead decline to grant me His mercy, but may my yearning to attain the sweetness of Sri Radha’s lotus feet never become slackened.

18 Even the eyes and heart of Lord Hari are filled with boundless yearnings to see the beauty of charming Radha’s feet, which are decorated with melodiously tinkling ankle bells as She wanders with graceful steps in the forest of Vrndavana, I pray that beauty may appear in my loving heart.

19 May Sri Radhika, who is plunged in the waves of the ocean of the sweetness of youthful beauty, who is the great Deity of krsna-prema, whose dancing knitted eyebrows contain millions of playful amorous desires, and who is as sweet as nectar, appear in my heart.

20 May my heart, overcome with the sweetness of ecstatic love, become plunged in the eternally increasing ocean of sweetness that moves over Srimati Radharani’s beautiful youthful, transcendental form, the very sweet moonlight of Her face with its shy smiles and crooked sidelong glances, Her wonderful words, graceful motions, and all Her very sweet transcendental pastimes.

21 I pray that Srimati Radharani’s youthful, charming, sweet, and wonderful transcendental limbs, wonderful crooked sidelong glances, sweet shyness, enchanting gentle smile, beauty, luster, graceful motions, and the first symptoms of Her blossoming love for dark complexioned Lord Krsna may all appear before me.

22 May my queen, Radha, Her unlimitedly beautiful fair limbs anointed with kunkuma, decorated with jewels and gold, and showering unlimited oceans of very sweet transcendental splendor, and Her transcendental form bearing the wonderful symptoms of the sweet nectar of Her passionate transcendental love for dark complexioned Lord Krsna, appear in my heart, which is now astonished by the wonderful sweetness of Her every act.

23 Above the highest transcendental abode is the blissful kingdom of Vrndavana, where the wonderful youthful divine couple are splendidly manifest. I offer my respectful obeisances to that person who, situated in his own desired spiritual form, sweetly carries out the orders of Lalita and the other gopis, who love the divine couple more than their own life’s breath.

24 May I pass the moments of my life in the land of Vrndavana, always meditating on the beauty of Sri Radha’s lotus feet, which are decorated with sweetly tinkling jewelled ankle bells.

25 I pray that Sri Radha’s lotus feet, which are decorated wit sweetly tinkling ankle bells, and are filled with limitless beauty, delicate softness, sweet fragrance, a flood of transcendental splendor, and a host of other transcendental virtues, may appear before me.

26 May my heart chant the glories if Sri Radha’s very beautiful lotus feet, which are golden above their reddish soles, and which steal away the heart of Lord Hari with their sweet transcendental splendor.

27 On Sri Radha’s lotus feet I gaze at the waves of jewel splendor flowing from Her anklets and toe-rings and shining in the splendid jewel moonlight of Her toenails.

28 I meditate on the very fragrant lotus flower of Sri Radha’s feet, which is filled with the thick, sweet honey of transcendental bliss, which the black bee of Lord Krsna yearns to attain, and which even the goddess of fortune cannot attain.

29 I pray that Sri Radha’s charming feet, which are beautifully decorated with jewel ankle-bells, and which shine with a series of toenail moons set on a line of newly sprouted very delicate flower toes, may appear before me.

30 Everyone please mediate on Lord Krsna’s flute, which is now completely silenced by the tinkling jewel ankle-bells on Radha’s feet. All its hissing is now useless. Now it is simply an object of laughter for all of Radha’s friends.

31 Because Lord Krsna again and again smells them and presses them to His face, eyes, and heart, Sri Radha’s fragrant and pleasantly cooling lotus feet now shine with a dark splendor.

32 When, in this forest of Vrndavana, will the flooding ocean of the great sweetness of Sri Radha’s unrestrained devotional love.

33 I mediate in Radha’s lotus feet, their jewel toenails shining with great splendor, and their charming ankle-bells tinkling during the very sweet and wonderful pastimes in Vrndavana forest.

34 I worship the fair and dark youthful divine couple, who enjoy unrestrained, very passionate transcendental amorous pastimes in the groves of Vrndavana forest. With their wonderful skill in the art of love They have filled each other with wonder, enchantment, smiles, and completely unrestrained amorous passion.

35 “What is the use of this dark-complexioned liar Krsna?”

“Why do You always speak in this way?”
“What is the use of the Krsna, who is simply blossoming with happiness in the company of Candravali?”
“Why do You place these words on my ear?”
“What is this use of this fickle rake Krsna?”
“Please stop thinking of this Krsna!”

When She heard these words, Radha suddenly and with great anger struck her friend with the bouquet of blue lotus flowers.

36 Neither Brahma, the primary demigods, the secondary demigods, the demons, the human beings, or the great yogis, have the power to cross beyond the Supreme Personality of Godhead’s illusory potency in the form of a beautiful young woman. I am now agitated by this illusion, and now I have become like the most degraded outcaste. O Vrndavana, if you accept me I shall become so exalted that even the great souls who are like tilaka marking decorating the community of saintly devotees will worship me and bow down to offer respect to me.

37 May my heart become fixed on dark-complexioned Lord Krsna, who in the charming transcendental abode of Vrndavana forest places to His lips a glistening golden flute studded with pearls and many colorful jewels and decorated with bunches of a flowers, and eternally plays songs describing the splendid glories of Srimati Radhika.

38 A certain teen-age girl, whose transcendental form is situated in the topmost limit of beauty, and the splendor of whose golden limbs fills the forest of Vrndavana, has stolen the heart of dark-complexioned Lord Krsna.

39 In a grove of Vrndavana forest a golden vine, filled with buds like golden lotus flowers, its face like a golden full moon, its waist very slender, and its limitless transcendental beauty filling all directions is now embracing a passionate, dark, transcendental tamala tree.

40 O heart, please mediate on Sri Radha’s handsome lover, whose ear is decorated with a karnikara flower, whose bimba-fruit lips are kissed by the gopis, who plays the flute, whose charming dark form is anointed with fragrant powder, who wears yellow garments splendid as lightning, and who is crowned with a peacock feather.

41 All glories to the beautiful young girl whose complexion is splendid as gold, who is the great sweetness of the nectar ocean of love, who is served by many beautiful girls expert in many arts and skills, and who is the thief that has stolen the heart of dark-complexioned Lord Krsna.

42 Gaze on the sublimely sweet limbs, pastimes, words, and glances of Sri Sri Gandharva-Muralidhara (Radha-Krsna), who are splendid with good fortune, and who are overwhelmed by the nectar of eternally-increasing passion aroused by each other’s eternal, wonderful, and very sweet youthful splendor.

43 I jubilantly worship the charming, splendid, wonderfully youthful, fair and dark divine couple, whose bodies, hearts, senses, and everything have become one in Their intense love, and who tremble with passion deep in Vrndavana’s kadamba grove.

44 May She who splashes all directions with great waves from the flooding ocean of golden luster, who is enchanting with beauty, new youth, and skill in the arts of passionate love, who is the personification of the blissful nectar of pure love, who is the life of Lord Syama, who is the Deity of transcendental knowledge, and who is the ornament of Vrndavana, eternally shine in my heart.

45 Glory, glory to Radha, a fathomless ocean of pure love! Glory, glory to Krsna, who eternally thirsts to drink nectar with Her! Glory, glory to the friends that bring Them together! Glory, glory to Vrndavana, Their splendid abode!

46 My heart yearns to attain the very handsome and charming fair and dark divine couple, who are eternally anguished, eternally in each other’s company, and eternally celebrating a great festival of the most wonderful nectar.

47 The wonderfully glorious divine couple, who with wonderful creative art manifest a wonderful festival of transcendental amorous pastimes, who with Their wonderful bodily luster make the forest grove very wonderful, who wear very wonderful garments, and who are wonderfully youthful, fill my heart with wonder.

48 First mediate on the very pure and clear nectar ocean of transcendental moonlight that is beyond the dualities of material existence and filled with the limitless nectar of transcendental bliss. Then within that moonlight see the personal splendor of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Then, within that splendor see the effulgence of the kama-bija mantra. Then within that splendor see the very sweet abode of Vrndavana.

49 Vrndavana, which is a great ocean splendid with many colorful jewels, which is beautified by many wonderful trees and vines filled with many fruits, flowers, buds, clusters of blossoms, leaves, twigs, and branches, which is wonderful with jewel birds, deer, parrots, peacocks, cuckoos, humming bees, lakes, streams, and mountains,...

50 which is wonderful with limitlessly fragrant, charming, jeweled pastime-courtyards, which is limitless with enchanting forest groves, which is beautiful with an eternal flood of nectar and flower pollen, which with the nectar of intense bliss overwhelms the universe and all the demigods,...

51 and which is surrounded by the Yamuna shining with beautiful glistening jewel shores, beautiful beaches, the tumultuous warbling of wonderful swans, cranes, splendid karandavas and other birds, the buzzing of intoxicated bees, splendid, eternally blooming kahlara, kamala, and wonderful utpala lotuses,...

52 filled with blissful currents of splendid, pure, wonderful nectar, and lined with splendid jewel shores and kadamba groves, charming with cooling, fragrant, gentle breezes, eternally shines with great splendor.

53 Please mediate on the charming, handsome, passionate, and wonderfully youthful hero and heroine named Radha and Madhava, who are crowned with jewels decorated with peacock feathers and braids, and whose sweet fair and dark forms are wonderfully splendid.

54 Please mediate on the flood of nectar flowing through the divine couple’s delightful, splendid limbs, Their wonderful graceful motions, the rising flood of Their beauty, Their expert sidelong glances, smiles, and Their sweet, joking, secret conversations.

55-56 In the circle of Sri Radhika’s maidservants, whose faces are beautiful as millions of moons, whose forms are splendid with the limitless, glistening nectar of Radha’s lotus feet, who are sweet with a wonderful variety of forms, who are wonderfully expert in many arts, and who shine with the wonders of youth, is a certain gentle, noble, very beautiful girl, whose complexion is splendid as molten gold, whose limbs shine with a limitless fair splendor, who is charming with youthfulness, whose breasts are two golden lotus whorls, who wears a cloth bodice and many jewel necklaces,...

57 whose waist is as splendor as a lioness waist, whose hips are broad, whose garments are decorated with waves of wonderful color, the vines of whose arms are decorated with very wonderful glistening jeweled armlets and bracelets, whose ears are decorated with glistening earrings, whose beautiful sesame-flower nose is decorated with a splendid pearl studded with gold and jewels,...

58 whose teeth are a row of glistening pomegranate seeds, whose bimba-fruit lips are plunged in a great flood of transcendental sweetness, whose eyes are maddened khanjana birds, whose eyebrows are bows of Kama, whose face is the whorl of a glistening lotus flower or the limitless shining of millions of moons, the very charming and young golden vine of whose transcendental form is flooded with millions of waves of graceful movements,...

59 whose ankle-bells tinkle very sweetly, whose blue garments covering her beautiful slender form flutter as she eagerly goes here and there to lovingly serve the divine couple, whose shyness, gracefulness, gentle smile, crooked glance, and other virtues are all very wonderful,...

60 whose bodily hairs stand erect out of great love for the dearmost divine couple, who, understanding the divine couple’s hints, expertly acts to please Them, who is expert at joking in the company of Radha’s friends and maidservants, who is eternally devoted to the feet of her mistress, Sri Radha,...

61 who, being asked, gives advice, speaking gentle words sweet and cooling as nectar, who, being order to facilitate the divine couple’s pastimes, who, being sent as messenger, affectionately repeats Radha’s love-letter to Krsna, whose bodily hairs stand up, who becomes plunged in the fathomless sweet ocean of transcendental bliss,...

62 who massages Radha with scented oil, who bathes Her with scented water, who serves Her by dressing Her in garments, decorating her with flower garlands and ornaments, and anointing betelnuts mixed with camphor to chew, who, as Radha is falling asleep, massages Her feet and gently fans Her with a cloth,...

63 who arranges a great festival of transcendental pastimes with dark-complexioned Lord Krsna, who, carrying golden vessels, a fan, or other articles, follows the glorious Radha, who, whether Radha speaks orders or remains silent, always serves Her wishes, and who continually plunges Radha’s lover into great transcendental bliss. Please mediate on this gopi in this way.

64 Again and again hearing each other’s words in a secluded place, gazing at the wonderful signs of love on each other’s bodies, and each other’s wonderful, splendid, sweet skill in amorous pastimes, the divine couple cannot stop the nectar waves of bliss from flooding Their limbs.

65 Eternally meditating on Sri Radha, taking shelter of the shade of Her lotus feet, always filling his tongue with the nectar of Her holy name, staying far away from women and men attached to women, considering their company poison, and performing austerities, a saintly devotee resides here in Vrndavana.

66 His great devotion and renunciation increasing day by day, fortunate person will take shelter of Sri Radha’s feet and reside in Vrndavana.

67 Thinking all scriptures that ignore Sri Sri Radha-Krsna a useless waste of time, glowing with love for Sri Radha’s lotus feet, performing severe austerities, unconcerned about his material body, and friendly to everyone, a saintly devotee resides in the transcendental abode of Sri Vrndavana.

68 Let us glorify Vrndavana where, neither coming nor going, eternally tossed about in the shoreless and impassable ocean of transcendental amorous pastimes, and embracing each other Their whole lives, the handsome, wonderfully youthful, fair and dark divine couple eternally stays.

69 In Vrndavana, the divine couple, whose transcendental forms are filled with pure and blissful love, whose forms are wonderfully with signs of passionate love, who are charming with wonderful bodily luster, glances, words, graceful motions, and other virtues, and are the resting place of beauties that have no equal or superior, are splendidly manifest.

70 The youthful divine couple, who are a great wonder flood of beauty, the ultimate limit of sweetness, the wonderful flood of the nectar moonlight ocean of beauty, the splendor of wonderful love, the final limit of transcendental amorous pastimes, and my very life and soul, are splendidly manifested in Vrndavana.

71 I worship the youthful fair and dark divine couple, who stay in Sri Vrndavana, who have become one in the unrestrained, unbroken passion of Their love, who are the sole resting place of wonderful youthfulness, beauty, and splendor, and who are the life that fills my heart.

72 I mediate on Radha-Hari’s gopi friends, whose ears are plunged in the very sweet nectar of the divine couple’s conversation, whose eyes are fixed on their playful glances, and whose hearts are intoxicated by drinking the nectar festival of Their rendezvous.

73 I reside in Vrndavana, and within my heart filled with love I meditate on how Lord Krsna, intoxicated with the nectar of transcendental amorous desire, boldly approached Sri Radha, how embarrassed Radha playfully pretended to spurn His advances, and how they both enjoyed very sweet pastimes in each other’s embrace.

74 He who carries in his heart Lord Visnu’s splendor named Brahman is always worshiped in this world. He who worships the Lord’s form is dear to the Lord. He who directly worships the Lord’s form is dear to the Lord. He who directly worships Sri Krsnacandra has no equal in his love. He who, expert at tasting transcendental nectar, never leaves Vrndavana, is a thief who has stolen my heart.

75 The ground here is only ground. The water is only water. The trees and vines are only trees and vines. The moonlight is only moonlight. The birds, beasts and humans are only birds, beasts, and humans. The deity of Sri Krsna is only a deity of Sri Krsna, the enemy of all the demons. The deity of Sri Radhika is only a deity of Sri Radhika. Enough with this nonsense! I pray that I may be able to directly see the reality that everything in Vrndavana is spiritual and transcendental.

76 May the enchanting forest of Vrndavana, which is a flood of great transcendental sweetness, and which inflames the divine couple’s pure amorous desires, eternally appear in my heart. May Sri Vrndavana-candra and perfect, playful, pure Sri Radha enjoy the nectar of transcendental amorous pastimes in my presence.

77 Their new youthfulness filled with limitless sweetness, and Their fair and dark complexions two oceans of limitless, glistening splendor, with limitless artistic skill a certain couple enjoys eternal, limitless transcendental amorous pastimes in Vrndavana.

78 I pray that in a pastimes cottage I may attain direct service to the youthful divine couple, who make the entire forest of Vrndavana intoxicated with waves of sweet pastimes and the splendor of Their fair and dark limbs.

79 When ignoring this horrible material body and all its degraded activities, and meditating in my heart on my original nectarean spiritual form, and strictly observing a vow of poverty, and without even a fixed home, will I day and night worship Sri Radha’s lotus feet in this forest of Vrndavana?

80 I, who am the personification of all sinful deeds, may never be delivered from hell. I only pray that I may never forget the holy names of Sri Vrndavana, Sri Radha, and Sri Radha’s lover.

81 In this world there has never been, there is not now, nor will there ever be anyone as sinful as I. For this reason the unlimitedly merciful land of Vrndavana is my only shelter.

82 I shall now approach the nectar of the wonderful mercy, tolerance, and other transcendental virtues of the king and queen of Vrndavana. I have no other shelter. Even though I am very low and fallen, I pray that I may not be neglected.

83 O Vrndavana, even though I proclaim, “I take shelter of you,” alas, I still remain a very wicked person at heart. I am the lowest of the low. Shall I attain your mercy?

84 By my own karma I am destined to enter an eternal hell. How many days have I lived in Vrndavana and chanted the holy name Radha? These days are my only protection.

85 O mother Vrndavana, O Sri Sri Radha-Muralidhara, O king and queen of Vrndavana, will you neglect me because I have committed so many offenses?

86 Alas! I am a great fool and all my actions are abominable. Still, I shall never leave the land of Vrndavana and I shall never cease chanting the holy name of Sri Radha.

87 Chanting the glories of the very sweet transcendental form and pastimes of Sri Radha, I happily live in Vrndavana without the slightest care or anxiety.

88 The divine couple, who are as splendid as a golden campaka flower and a blue lotus, who are the resting place of all beauty, youthfulness, and charming playful pastimes, and who are the two Deities of the nectar of transcendental amorous pastimes in the forest of Vrndavana, are my only shelter.

89 In Vrndavana forest, which is filled with the sweetness of charming transcendental amorous pastimes, I pray that the youthful fair and dark complexioned divine couple may eternally appear before me.

90 I do not know the difference between right and wrong. I have not studied the scriptures. I do not associate with learned theologians. Still, the restless black bee of my heart is greedy to taste the sweetness of the lotus flower of the feet of Sri Sri Radha-Krsna.

91 I worship the fair and dark divine couple, who enjoy transcendental pastimes, plunged in a nectar oceans of unrestrained passion in the forest groves of Vrndavana.

92 When this residence in Vrndavana comes to an end I may enter millions of hells, or then again I may not. Whatever happens, even though I am very low and fallen I cannot renounce my hope to one day attain the service of Sri Radha’s lotus feet.

93 Even if I must bear thousands of insults, even if my body is torn apart by a trukaca, and even if I must suffer millions of calamities, I still shall not leave this forest, which is so dear to Sri Radha.

94 Even if the outcasts spit on me, if somehow by the mercy of the holy dhama I am able to reside here in Vrndavana until the moment of my death, I shall consider everything else to be as important as a blade of grass.

95 Except for the land of Vrndavana nothing can save me from being flooded with sufferings from beginning to middle to end by becoming plunged into the very foul-smelling, very impure, very grotesque body of woman.

96 Alas! I am very unfortunate. My intelligence has deviated from the path of righteousness. I am a fallen outcaste. Nevertheless, because I know the power of the land of Vrndavana, I still continue to hope that I shall one day attain my desire.

97 I pray that the boundlessly merciful, fair and dark, youthful divine couple, who eternally enjoy transcendental pastimes in Their forest of Vrndavana, may some day glance upon me.

98 When, as They passionately enjoy transcendental amorous pastimes in the flower garden of Vrndavana forest, will I jubilantly serve the fair and dark youthful divine couple?

99 Look at Sri Sri Radha-Krsna! Now that Their enthralling chess game at the entrance to the newly blossoming grove in Vrndavana forest is broken by a sweetly playful dispute, They are like tow flooding oceans of transcendental nectar.

100 I pray that the ever new and fresh Vrndavana pastimes of Sri Sri Radha-Krsna, and the mischievous and amorous children of Nanda and Vrsabhanu, may become like a series of jewel necklaces resting on my throat.

101 Turn your eyes from the labyrinthine network of the material world of duality where the bodies and everything else is fashioned from the three modes of nature, and make your mind enter the endless, limitless, intensely blissful spiritual effulgence of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Then make your mind enter the splendid ocean of nectar manifested from the very sweet kama-bija syllable. In that ocean find the transcendental land of Vrndavana, and there worship the fair and dark divine couple.

102 Beautiful without equal or superior, filled with the sweetness of playful youth, enjoying transcendental pastimes and splendid in agitation although Their transcendental powers are boundless, the divine couple are so blinded by eternal amorous passion that They are now unaware of anything beyond each other.

103 Meditate on Sri Radha’s beautiful and playful gopi friends, whose forms are spiritual and eternally youthful, and who are very intelligent and full of all transcendental virtues. Meditate on Sri Radha’s beautiful young maidservants, who present a great variety of wonderful transcendental forms, who are expert in many wonderful and charming transcendental arts, who are dressed in splendid garments and ornaments, and who are filled with pure love for their dearmost divine couple.

Sataka Ten

1 Please meditate on a certain beautiful girl in Vrndavana whose complexion is splendid as molten gold, whose face shines as millions of moons, whose newly tied braids are decorated with very splendid blue flowers and a great bunch of flowers at the end, whose beautiful nostril is decorated with a single splendid pearl set in glistening gold and jewels, whose beautiful lips are like bimba fruits, whose beautiful teeth are like a row of splendid pearls...

2 who covers the two beautiful flower buds of her young girl’s breasts with the edge of her garment, whose waist is very slender, whose very beautiful soft hips are covered with a glistening silk sari, who is beautifully decorated with a belt, ankle bells, many necklaces, bracelets, and glistening armlets, the graceful vine of whose limbs fills all directions with its splendor....

3 the hairs of whose body stand erect because of her great love for Sri Radha, who has studied the graceful arts under the tutelage of her mistress, Sri Radha, who is the object of Sri Radha’s great mercy, love, and trust, who worships the splendor of her friend Sri Radha’s jewel toenails, which are millions of times more dear to her than her own life, and who wears a splendid, fine, colorful bodice decorated with leaves and bunches of flowers.

4 I meditate on the pathways of Vrndavana forest. I meditate on the fair and dark divine couple who, drowning in the shoreless ocean of transcendental amorous pastimes, are unaware whether it is day or night.

5 Please worship the fair and dark divine couple in the groves of Vrndavana who are the two Deities of the nectar of eternal transcendental amorous passion, who are eternally filled with playful pastimes of youth, and who are eternally and very wonderfully handsome.

6 In Vrndavana forest I eternally meditate on the divine couple, whose charming transcendental forms are filled with the most intense nectar of love for each other, and who are surrounded by a host of gopi friends blinded by the nectar of love.

7 With eternal love in my heart I worship Radha’s beloved, who is eternally youthful, who is eternally overwhelmed by the nectar of transcendental bliss, whose dark limbs are an eternally expanding shoreless ocean of splendor, who is eternally agitated with transcendental amorous passion, and who is millions of times more dear to me than my own life.

8 Here in this forest of Vrndavana my heart has become enchanted by the youthfulness, expert skill in the art of transcendental amorous pastimes, ever new and splendid beauty, shyness, playful smiles, playful crooked sidelong glances, playful graceful motions, very beautiful and splendid fair complexion that makes the beholder become overwhelmed with transcendental bliss, and charming transcendental sweetness of Sri Radha.

9 When, because of seeing the forest of Vrndavana with perfect clearness, will my heart, jubilant with the sweet nectar of transcendental bliss and overwhelmed with ecstatic pure love, become plunged in the golden shoreless ocean of the sweetness and beauty of Sri Radhika’s transcendental form and pastimes, which is filled with gracefulness, youthfulness, and charm, and which is the thief that has stolen the heart of Sri Krsna.

10 I pray that, without considering my faults or virtues, the very powerful land of Vrndavana, which is filled with eternal, unbounded compassion and al other good qualities, will accept me.

11 O Sri Vrndavana, I have renounced everything and taken shelter of you, but I have also made you very impatient by committing millions of offenses. If you do not give me shelter in your groves, which are filled with the great transcendental bliss that is Sri Radha’s lotus footprints, then I have no other place to turn. There is no other place I can go.

12 One who resides in Sri Vrndavana and offends Sri Sri Radha-Krsna enters the darkest of hells. He will never be delivered.

13 O Vrndavana, O forest that contains the great treasure that is Sri Sri Radha-Krsna. I am sinful. I tremble in fear. You are my only shelter.

14 He who meditates on the groves of Vrndavana forest, which are flooded by the charming waves of he sweetness of Sri Sri Radha-Krsna’s pastimes, is the most fortune of persons.

15 I am fallen, shelterless, bewildered, poor, addicted to wicked deeds, and wicked deeds and very far from the lotus feet of Sri Radha. How can I attain the land of Vrndavana? I do not know.

16 I pray that Sri Vrndavana will accept me, even though I am pathetic, wicked-hearted, and ill behaved.

17 I pray that Vrndavana’s fair and dark, very wonderful youthful divine couple, who are eternally plunged in the nectar of transcendental amorous pastimes, may always stay in my heart.

18 When, maddened with love, will I directly see the youthful divine couple, who are as splendid as gold and sapphires, and who enjoy eternally transcendental amorous pastimes in the groves of Vrndavana?

19 When, walking, talking, standing, sleeping, or breathing in Vrndavana forest will I directly see the two fair and dark splendors trembling with transcendental amorous passion?

20 May all the worlds meditate on the nectarean fair and dark divine couple, who are more charming that millions of Ratis and Kamadevas. May all the worlds fall at Their feet.

21 I pray that in the charming land of Vrndavana the very charming beauty, splendor, and pastimes of charming Sri Radha and the charming prince of Vraja may eternally appear in my heart.

22 I pray that the wonderful, youthful, handsome, playful, very sweet, fair and dark divine couple may appear before me in the groves of Vrndavana forest.

23 I worship Lalita and her friends, who in the forest of Vrndavana have become intoxicated by continually drinking the pleasantly cool, sweet, and smiling nectar words flowing from the blossoming golden and sapphire lotus mouths of Sri Sri Radha-Krsna, which are more beautiful than millions of moons.

24 In Vrndavana I meditate on the splendid fair and dark youthful divine couple, who wear splendid red and yellow garments and are decorated with splendid flower-decorated braids, a splendid peacock feather crown, and splendid jewel tatanka and shark shaped earrings.

25 I meditate on Vrndavana, which somewhere is decorated with calves mooing, somewhere with playing boys, somewhere with a festival of blissful gopi girls, and somewhere with the charm of Radha-Krsna’s pastimes.

26 Let me take shelter of the splendid transcendental forest of Vrndavana, which is eternal, full of knowledge and bliss, more beautiful than the Nandana forest or any other celestial forest, and which is entered only by the devotees filled with unalloyed pure love for Sri Sri Radha-Krsna.

27 When, completely avoiding the association of women and men attached to women, sitting alone under a tree and shedding tears as I chant the holy names of the dearmost divine couple, silent when people come, as tolerant as the earth, and thinking myself lower than a blade of grass, will I live in Radha’s pastime forest of Vrndavana?

28 All glories to Sri Radha’s pastime-forest, which is filled with millions of kamadhenu cows, millions of gardens and grassy lawns, many splendid and transcendental kalpa-vrksa, sandal, parijata, kudra, and other trees, many cintamani jewels, many very charming forest cottages, and many beautiful, moon faced gopis.

29 Placing white jasmine garlands in the sky with His repeated smiles and laughter,making all directions full of blue lotus flowers with His moving glances, and planting blossoming sthala lotus flowers on the ground with His footsteps, Lord Madhava walks with Sri Radha in Vrndavana forest. I meditate on Him in this way.

30 When, again and again shedding tears as I enter the forest grove where the couple that is my life and soul enjoyed pastimes, singing about Their pastimes, in fear fleeing materialists as if they were serpents, eating a little fruit and some dried leaves when I am hungry, when I am thirsty drinking water to my heart’s content, and living under a tree in Vrndavana forest, will I finally become happy?

31 O enjoyer of the nectar that is Sri Gandharva (Radha), O Lord whose handsome moon mouth is decorated with a flute, O Lord who wears a great gunja-necklace fashioned by Your gopi beloved and placed on You by Her own hand, O Lord who wears a peacock feather crown lovingly made by Your beloved. O Lord whose bodily hairs stand erect in ecstasy, today in this forest of Vrndavana, please enjoy your pastimes in my heart.

32 Let me glorify Vrndavana where, the hairs of Their bodies erect with excitement, Their eyes red, Their words confused, Their steps faltering, Their conversation filled with lover’s quarrels, Their hair and garments in disarray, and Their flower garlands and other ornaments broken, the fair and dark divine couple laughed again and again, intoxicated by the nectar of Their pastimes.

33 Ignoring everything else, considering all material opulences very insignificant, and struck with wonder at its sweet beauty, I worship Sri Vrndavana, supreme above all, the moonlight of Sri Sri Radha-Krsna’s beautiful faces making it shine as if with limitless moons, and its moving and stationary spiritual living entities all blinded with pure love for the divine couple.

34 Though everyone pities me, saintly persons beat me to teach me a lesson, and my ignorant relatives affectionately decorate me and with kindness try to stop me as I depart, will I, aware that they are acting as foolish children, and not abandoning my resolve, take up residence in Sri Vrndavana, which is filled with boundless transcendental bliss?

35 When, following a vow of poverty, and again and again singing the glories of the transcendental qualities of Sri Sri Radha-Krsna, will I muddy the ground of Vrndavana with my tears?

36 When will I become completely charmed by Sri Radha’s transcendental form and qualities? When will the graceful dancer of devotional service to Sri Radha’s lotus feet enter my heart?

37 Sometimes his hairs standing erect, sometimes shedding streams of tears, sometimes chanting the holy name of Radha in a broken voice, sometimes rolling about on the ground, and sometimes fainting, a devotee overwhelmed with ecstatic love wanders in the forest of Vrndavana.

38 Their handsomeness destroying the pride of countless Ratis and Kamadevas, and Themselves bound with love for each other and plunged into the shoreless ocean of limitless nectar, the fair and dark youthful divine couple is eternally manifest in Vrndavana.

39 Let millions of thunderbolts fall on me. Let everything burn in a great fire. Let the millions of blazing suns that appear at the time of universal devastation rise in the sky. I will never leave Vrndavana.

40 Tigers may tear me to pieces and devour me. Terrible poisonous black snakes may bite me. I may be afflicted by a host of incurable diseases. Everyone may give me trouble. Because I have no house I may be tormented by severe cold, rain and great winds. I may be afflicted by unbearable hunger and thirst. Still, I shall not take even a single step out of Vrndavana.

41 Without even seeing the face of a woman, without conversing with materialistic men, without flaunting one’s humbleness and fixed vow of poverty, even if directly asked, without finding fault with anyone, without desiring anything, and satisfied with whatever comes without endeavor, please stay here in Vrndavana and find the nectar flowing from Sri Radha’s lotus feet.

42 Let me take shelter of Sri Vrndavana, which has many splendid transcendental forest groves, which is filled with wonderful, eternal, limitless sweetness, and which contains the beauty and opulence of the eternal transcendental amorous pastimes of Sri Sri Radha-Krsna.

43 On an island in the shoreless ocean of the spiritual effulgence of intense transcendental bliss, the forest of Vrndavana shines with great splendor. Let me now take shelter of the fair and dark, handsome, youthful divine couple who enjoy transcendental amorous pastimes without beginning or end there.

44 All glories to a certain young goddess, who is filled with the ultimate sweetness of krsna-prema, and the waves of the glistening ocean of the splendor of whose transcendental limbs has broken the differences of the directions in Vrndavana.

45 Please place your glance on the passionate youthful, fair and dark divine couple. They are the supremely sweet nectar churned from the shoreless, endless, pure, blissful, eternal, splendid ocean of transcendental amorous pastimes.

46 Filling all spiritual and material worlds with the splendor of Her transcendental limbs, and flooding every place with the sweetness of Her transcendental pastimes, a very beautiful teen-age girl, whose form is like a golden vine agitated with pure love for Lord Syama, is splendidly manifest in Vrndavana forest.

47 Saintly theologians teach the graceful dance known as pure devotional service to the lotus feet of Sri Radha. By dancing, whether a materialist like me, sinful or pious, blamed or praised, one may take shelter of Vrndavana, where Sri Radha is splendidly manifest.

48 May I perform millions of wicked deeds. May I be filled with millions of wicked thoughts and millions of horrible, senseless material desires in the forest of Vrndavana, but may I never forget the holy name of Sri Radha.

49 His heart fatally pierced by volleys of terrible poisoned Cupid’s arrows shot by the sweetness of Sri Radha’s shy smiles and the pastimes of Her dancing sidelong glances and the sweetly graceful movements of Her transcendental body, a certain dark-complexioned youth now staggers about in the forest of Vrndavana.

50 May Sri Radhika’s youthfulness, charm, virtues, talents, gracefully moving limbs, and beauty that floods all directions, appear in our hearts.

51 May the youthful fair and dark divine couple, who are two oceans of love, who are filled with wonderful youthful beauty, and who enjoy wildly passionate transcendental amorous pastimes, eternally appear in a heart filled with the sweet nectar of ecstatic love.

52 If you will not worship Vrndavana, where in grove after grove Sri Sri Radha-Vrajendu happily enjoy transcendental pastimes, where in tree after tree splendid fragrant flowers bloom, and where in flower after flower a flood of nectar flows and a swarm of bees becomes blinded with happiness, then your birth in this world and everything you possess is meaningless.

53 In effulgent, sweet, spiritual, purifying Vrndavana, where is not the slightest trace of material goodness, passion and ignorance, no power of time, and no demigods and other powerful conditioned souls, patiently live always, O fool, not seeing it with bewildered eyes.

54 Aware that work done for the external material body is degrading, aware that extravagant praise is a series of empty words only, aware that material wealth is a great calamity, aware that woman’s body is a demoness, aware that the material body is a useless burden, aware that the company of materialistic men is a poisonous snake, and aware that even though everyone may consider you a great personality you are actually the most lowly and fallen, become free from material possessiveness, and please stay in this land of Vrndavana.

55 Not associating with women or men attached to women, taking shelter of this holy place, remaining indifferent to all the dualities of material existence, or whatever simple food is easily available, please place Sri Radha’s lotus feet in your heart sweetened with splendid ecstatic love, and please pass your days and nights always chanting Her holy names in the forest of Vrndavana.

56 Give up all attachment to your wretched material body, which is simply a pot of stool. Take pleasure in the association of great saints who have accepted a vow of poverty. Even from afar do not glance at beautiful golden-complexioned girls. Remain indifferent to honor, poison, nectar, and all the sufferings of this world. Impelled by great devotional love, always stay in Vrndavana.

57 Please meditate on the splendid crown jewel of all forests, which breaks the chain of cause and effect, wipes away the fear of time, destroys both sins and material virtues, removes the threefold miseries, remains very far away from the three Vedas, and is filled with the very wonderful nectar waves of pure transcendental love.

58 I worship the splendid fair and dark divine couple, who are wonderfully youthful, who eternally enjoy transcendental pastimes in transcendental Vrndavana, who are each other’s life and soul, who are the life-breath of Lalita-gopi, and who are eternally tossed about by great waves of transcendental amorous passion.

59 I worship the wonderful and youthful divine couple, who are fair and dark as gold and sapphires, who enjoy splendid transcendental pastimes, and who are overwhelmed by newer and newer feelings of very passionate love for each other.

60 Please meditate on the playful, ever-new transcendental pastimes of a certain divine couple, who are splendid as sapphires and new gold, and who stay in the land of Vrndavana, source of the nectar of transcendental mellows.

61 I pray that in the land of Vrndavana I may eternally serve the wonderfully fair and dark, eternally youthful divine couple, who are two abodes of the sweet nectar of transcendental mellows, and who are blinded by eternally new, very passionate love for each other.

62 I pray that I may serve the very glorious and eternally youthful divine couple who are now overwhelmed by the sweet nectar of Vrndavana forest. They are as splendid as gold sapphires, and the flood of Their transcendental handsomeness has inundated the ten directions.

63 Enchanting Vrndavana contains the secret of all bliss, the secret of all love, the secret of sweet fragrances, the secret of transcendental amorous pastimes, and the secret of intelligence.

64 I meditate on the brilliant golden and sapphire lotus splendors of a certain handsome, youthful, passionate couple, who are like a single life, and who with ever increasing thirst eternally enjoy transcendental pastimes in Vrndavana forest.

65 Sri Vrndavana forest, the fair and dark divine couple who live as if with a single self, and Their dear gopi friends are all filled with the wonderfully sweet nectar of transcendental love. Even though I am a great offender, if I once have a slightly scent of a relationship with Them, They will not neglect me.

66 Let me glorify the completely independent Supreme Personality of Godhead, by whose arrangement the conditioned living entities encased in material bodies are allowed to engage in either exalted or degraded activities, by whose arrangements some living entities yearn to live in Vrndavana forest, by whose arrangement some living entities are able to live in Vrndavana forest, by whose arrangement some living entities are able to completely renounce all material sense-gratification, and by whose arrangement some living entities are able to associate with great souls and attain transcendental knowledge and devotional service.

67 Let me take shelter of the blissful, wonderful, independent Supreme personality of Godhead, who is everything, who is the master of wonderful potencies, who by taking shelter of His own perfect potencies enjoys blissful pastimes in His many divine forms, and who lives and does as He likes.

68 The ultimate limit of Lord Visnu’s bliss, Lord Hari’s exalted potencies, and Lord Bhagavan’s perfect transcendental qualities are all eternally manifest in the supremely exalted land of Sri Vrndavana.

69 I am ever averse to pious acts, I am a great reservoir of all kinds of sinful deeds. I have no good qualities. All the saintly devotees avoid me and even the fools and outcastes stay far away form me. Will the naturally kind and affectionate land of Vrndavana also reject me?

70 All glories to Vrndavana-dhama, which purifies those who have no shelter, chases away all sins, purifies the most fallen, makes the hearts of all living entities melt with the nectar of intense bliss, is constantly remembered by the great demigods, and is the life and soul of Sri Sri Radha-Krsna.

71 O Sri Vrndavana, O bliss of Sri Sri Radhika-Rasikamauli, please always be like my eternal mother, like my father, good friend, brother, dear relative, lover, worshipable deity, spiritual master, guide, life, priceless treasure, sweet nectar, good son, and my own heart.

72 All glories to the youthful splendor named Radha, which rests on the lap of a dark youth in Vrndavana forest, which has a glistening golden form plunged in the flooding ocean of transcendental beauty, and which with the nectar of ever-new transcendental love eclipses the glory of spiritual and material worlds.

73 Because within it are splendidly manifest the ultimate wonder of opulence, the ultimate wonder of the Supreme Lord’s transcendental qualities, the ultimate sweetness of transcendental pastimes, the ultimate intoxication of the nectar of transcendental love, the ultimate wonder of transcendental beauty, and the ultimate wonder of playful youth, I take shelter of Sri Vrndavana.

74 The perfectly spiritual land of Vrndavana, which has splendidly, auspicious, sweet, spiritual potencies, and by the touch of which all the living and dead become eternally free from the grip of the three modes and, manifesting spiritual forms plunged in the nectar of love for Lord Hari, shine with great splendor, is splendidly manifest.

75 I offer my respectful obeisances to the land of Vrndavana, which is the place of Sri Sri Radha-Muralidhara’s wonderful pastimes, which is eagerly sought by the pure-hearted devotees in this world, which shines with the splendor of many glistening transcendental jewels, which is charming with very wonderful and colorful places, and which completely crushes the six waves of material misery.

76 All glories to the land of Vrndavana, which is made in some places of splendid transcendental sapphires, in other places of gold, in other places of lapis lazuli, in other places of candrakanta jewels, in other places of diamonds as white as snow, in other places of pearls, in other places of coral, and in other places of jewels no one on earth has ever seen.

77 For the pleasure of Sri Sri Radha-Krsna the regal trees in Vrndavana forest assume many different forms. Some assume forms of the sweetest nectar, others take the forms of splendid transcendental milk and cream, others forms of intoxicating liquors, others forms of crystal, and others forms of very cooling camphor.

78 May Vrndavana where, following Sri Sri Radha-Krsna’s joking orders, the fortunate, regal trees bow down to offer respects, resting their branches on the ground, then become charming, flower filled, many branched pavilions, and then, from where the hand can grasp up to their very tops, bloom with many flowers, show auspiciousness to me.

79-82 May Vrndavana forest, where some of the trees are more splendid than millions of blazing midday suns, some more brilliant than millions of kalpagni fires burning at the time of cosmic dissolution, some more charming than a great flood of splendid, cooling moonlight, some more splendid than red gunja berries, some more clear and splendid than millions of brilliant crystals, some charmingly decorated with splendid new shoots, some splendid as a limitless flood of molten gold, some splendid as diamond necklaces, some splendid as flocks of parrots, some splendid as black mascara, and some splendid as roses, and where in this way the eternal, blissful, nectarean spiritual forms of the many regal, wonderful, flower filled trees display a great array of many different splendid and indescribable transcendental colors, be eternally manifest before me.

83 In Krsna’s forest I meditate on the wonderful trees bearing a great multitude of nectarean fruits, glistening with a shoreless ocean of transcendental nectar, covered with a great network of wonderful colorful flowers, buds and leaves, and bearing a great host of nectarean fruits.

84 I meditate on splendidly charming Vrndavana forest filled with trees and vines blossoming with limitless love for Sri Sri Radha-Krsna, ornamented with birds and beasts overwhelmed with the nectarean mellows of love for Sri Sri Radha-Krsna, and filled with newly blossoming forest groves where Sri Sri Radha-Krsna enjoy transcendental pastimes.

85 I gaze at the very splendid and sweetly charming forest of Vrndavana, which is situated in the supremely splendid and sweet realm of Vaikunthaloka, which crushes impersonal liberation and material sense gratification to a powder, and within which the youthful divine couple, who shine like gold and sapphires, enjoy limitless transcendental pastimes.

86 Please cross beyond the lifeless material realm where conditioned souls experience a host of illusory miseries and then enter the all pervading Brahman effulgence. Deep within that effulgence please see the splendid forest of Vrndavana, which shines with the wonderful sweetness of the nectar mellows of supremely pure transcendental amorous pastimes.

87 In that place a fair and dark youthful couple, filled with a great flood of handsomeness, shining with limitless splendor, expert at enjoying transcendental pastimes, filled with ever new and fresh wonder and sweetness, and blinded with transcendental amorous passion, enjoys pastimes in the forest groves.

88-89 In that place I continually meditate on the divine couple, who are filled with the pure essence of transcendental bliss, who possess the ultimate limit of handsomeness and all transcendental virtues, and who possess the great wonder of very sweet and completely unrestrained passionate transcendental amorous pastimes. I continually meditate on the very brilliant and sweet incomparable splendor of Sri Radha’s lotus feet. I continually meditate on a certain young girl whose complexion is as splendid as a new lightning flash, whose transcendental beauty and delicate soft features have defeated the virtues of beautiful golden vines...

90 who fills all directions with her bodily luster, who is splashed by the great waves of incomparable transcendental beauty, who is a great treasure of transcendental intelligence, whose form is unlimitedly graceful, who is completely surrendered maidservant of Radha, who is overwhelmed with great love for Radha, who by Radha’s mercy is able to cross from one shore to the ocean of transcendental skill to the other...

91 whose braided hair is decorated with jewels and flowers, who covers her head and her flower bud breasts with a silken cloth, who is very shy and affectionate, who smiles gently, whose movement are graceful, whose naturally crooked sidelong glances fill the entire world with wonder...

92 whose waist is very slender, who wears a lovely glistening sari over the beautiful splendor of her very broad hips, who wears a tinkling sash of bells and tinkling jewel anklebells, whose graceful and delicate vine arms are decorated with jewel armlets and glistening bracelets...

93 whose very beautiful neck is splendidly decorated with a host of glistening necklaces, whose beautiful ears are decorated with large jewel earrings, whose beautiful nose is decorated with a lovely pearl studded with gold and jewels, whose lips are beautiful as two bimba fruits, whose beautiful chin is decorated with a splendid dot of black musk...

94 who with the great flood of the splendor of her teeth shining as glistening pearls seems to fill all directions with white jasmine and lotus flowers, the hairs of whose body stand erect out of intense love for Sri Radha, who is dressed in a beautiful sari and decorated with many lovely flowers.

95 who, eager to serve Radha’s lotus feet, continually runs from here to there, her anklebells loudly tinkling, and who by the playful movements of the waves of the wonderful and splendid handsomeness of the divine couple more dear to her than life is plunged into the flooding nectar ocean of transcendental bliss.

96 I am filled with great faults. I do not possess even the slightest trace of virtue. Alas! It is not proper for the merciful devotees to even glance upon me. Again and again I have committed inexcusable offenses to you. Still, O Vrndavana, you are like my mother and I am like your son. Please do not abandon me.

97 I am a great fool who has committed every grievous sin. Even the lowest of men pity me. Even in dream I never worship the feet of Lord Hari or His devotees. I do not act for my own welfare. I have no shelter. O Vrndavana, you are very glorious because you are so tolerant, affectionate, and virtuous. Please protect me.

98 Eternally enjoying limitless transcendental pastimes in your groves, you beloved divine couple do not see any rules or prohibitions to restrict Them. You bring the sweet nectar of meditation on Them. O boundlessly wise Vrndavana, please do not abandon me.

99 If the moving and stationary living entities here in the land of Vrndavana understand the sweet spiritual nectar of the amorous pastimes of Radha’s lover, then where is religion for them? Where is irreligion? Where is the slightest word of the various rules of social etiquette? Where is auspiciousness? Where is inauspiciousness? Where is even the faintest glimpse of pain and trouble?

100-101 See all the dualities of material nature, see the transcendental Brahman effulgence, see the splendid bliss of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, very far from that see the splendid dark effulgence of the nectar mellows of transcendental love, within that splendor see the land of Sri Vrndavana, and within that land please worship, with very sweet loving service, the very fair and dark divine couple, who are very wonderful, graceful, youthful, handsome, and generous, and who thirst to enjoy the mellows of passionate transcendental amorous pastimes.

102 Very affectionate, very delicate, very handsome, overflowing with transcendental bliss, very intelligent, very splendid, endowed with pleasantly cool shade, filled with beautiful flowers, delicious fruits, fragrant sweet honey and beautiful leaves and buds, and glistening with ecstatic love for Lord Krsna, the trees in Vrndavana forest shine with great splendor.
