The companion of Radha,
Tells the Lord's beloved
About the Gopis
Who flirt with Him
How He delightfully embraces
And dances with Gopis
Gopis, symbolic of Upanishads
The Breath of the Eternal !
And Radha representing Nature !

His body bluish
Is smeared with paste
Paste made of sandalwood
Yellow silk robe He wears
His ear rings dangling
As he plays with Gopis
He is sporting
In the Garden of the Upanishads !

In high pitch
In tune with Krishna's flute !
Another Gopi is embracing
Thy beloved Krishna !

O Radha, see
How is Gopi is ensnaring
Beauteous Lord Krishna
With gestures of love !
Cupid had marked her
For his own !
She is mesmerised
By the handsomeness of the Lord !
She is meditating
On His Lotus like Beauty !
Why does He like
The Upanishads so much ?

See how close a Gopi is
How proximate to the Lord !
She is about to tell
A secret privately !
Thrilled she is
By the touch of His cheeks !
His handsome mein
Attracts her entire !

Pulls his silk robe yellowish
See the yonder cottage
Under beautiful bower
By the side of Yamuna
See how deeply in love
That young maid is
Pining for the handsome Lord !

O beloved Radha
One maid is enjoying Rasa Dance
Clapping in ecstasy !
The melodious music
Emanating from the Lord's flute
Is in tune with the sound of bangles
Rhythmic sound of her bangles !
