Ashtapadi XV - Sakhee
Ya Ramita - Ode to the Lord
The handsome Lord
Is beloved to many
The lovely Gopis
Yearn for Him !
I may have no other go
But to commit suicide
If He ignores me !
Hope
he will not !
His eyes beauteous
Like Lotus flowers
His voice propertied
As all the tuned spheres.
A damsel lying
On a bed of tender leaves
With the celestial Lord
Suffers not !
.
Like the blossomed lotus
His face is so charming !
Heart of a damsel
Loved the Lord
Which cannot be broken
By the arrows of Cupid !
Like nectar is the talk
Of the beauteous Lord
Even fragrant breeze
Cannot cause the pangs
Of separation painfrul
From the Lord !
As lovely as lotus flowers
Are His feet
Rays of the Moon troubles not
The Cupid intoxicated maid
Who enjoys the love of the Lord !
Like water bearing clouds
He shines gloriously !
The clouds beautiful
Affects not the heart
Of the one who enjoys
His Blissful Presence !
See how His yellow robe
Shines like gold !
One who enjoys His love
Will never be depressed
See the Handsomest One
In all the worlds triune
The pangs of separation
Affects not the devotee
Bhakti is a state
Where there is no Vibhakti
Non separation from Self
Non separation from Root...
Separation from Self
Is Ignorance called
Separation from Self
Is Death called !
Separate from Self
And be miserable
Unite with Self
And be happy !
This moving poem
Written by Jayadeva
Delights the hearts
Of the devotees pure
Of Purusha and Prakriti
Of Being and Nature
Let them be glorified
by both Purusha and Prakriti !
