Ashtapadi IX - Tava Virahe Vanamali - Ode to the Lord
The companion of Radha,
Was distraught,
The Lord tells her ,
That He would wait in the cottage
Tells her to bring Radha there,
The confidante goes to Radha
And tells her,
Like this !
tava virahE vanamAli - pantuvarALi - roopaka
SlOkamahamiha nivasAmi yAhi rAdhAm
anunaya madvachanEna chAnayEdhAha
iti madhuripuNA sakhee niyuktA
svayamida mEtya punarjagAda rAdhAm ||
vahati malaya sameerE madana mupanidhAya
sphuTati kusuma nikarE virahi hrudaya daLanya
tava virahE vanamAlee sakhee seedati rAdhE||tava virahE ||
My beloved Radha
Cool winds helping Cupid
Lover's hearts are torn asunder
By beauteous Nature !
The Lord of all
Is suffering from separation pangs !The pangs of Viraha,
Separation from Self !
dahati SiSira mayookhE maraNa manukarOti
patati madana viSikhE vilapati vikala tarOti||tava virahE ||
Even ravishing moonlight
Pains the loving Lord !
To Him death seems better,
Than separation from Prakriti !
Without His Prakriti
How can Purusha exist ?Consciousness and Force,
Being and Becoming !
dhvanati madhupa samoohE SravaNa mapi dahati
manasi chalita virahE niSi niSi ruja mupayati||tava virahE||
He closes His ears,
To buzzing sound of bees
Sleepless nights devastate Him
Because of separation from you.
vasati vipina vitAnE tyajati lalita dhAma
luThati dharaNi SayanE bahu vilapati tava nAma||tava virahE||
Leaving His great abode,
He is roaming in forest,
Uneasily He lies,
On the floor restless !
raNati pika samavAyE prati diSa manuyAti
hasati manuja nichayE viraha mapalapati nEti|| tava virahE||
There He follows,
Cooing cuckoos !,
People are laughing,
At his behavior eccentric !,
sphurati kalarava rAvE smarati maNitamEva
tava ratisukha vibhavE gaNayati suguNa mateeva||tava virahE||
The fluttering noise of doves,
Attract His attention,
The love gestures of these doves,
He imagines !
tvadabhidha Subhada mAsam vadati nari SruNOti
tamapi japati sarasam yuvatishu naratimupaiti||tava virahE||
He chants your name only.
When one utters Vaisakha,
He is not interested,
In other females !
bhaNati kavi jayadEvE viraha vilasitEna
manasi rabhasa vibhavE hari rudayatu sukrutEna||tava virahE|| |
The poet Jayadeva describes,
Eccentric behavior of Lord,
From His Prakriti,
Symbolised as Radha
Let the splendour
Of the love divine
( Of this Holy Couple
Purusha and Prakriti )
Evoke happiness supreme
In the hearts of readers !
