TRANSLATION
Lord Krsna wears yellow garments and His lovely, dark complexioned body is decorated with sandalwood paste. While He enjoys loving pastimes with His gopis , His jewel earrings dance over His cheeks as He smiles at them.
Look Radhe ! Look at KrsnaÂ’s
loving and divine lila with all of His surrendered gopis !
One beautiful gopi lovingly smacks Krsna with the heavy weight of her devotion! Then she sings to Him from the fifth scale at a higher octave.
4-5)
One charmed gopi fixes her love filled gaze upon KrsnaÂ’s
mukharvinda.Aho ! Her playful, batting eyes light become lamps of love for KrsnaÂ’s
heart! A gopi attempts to whisper something to KrsnaÂ’s ear, but ends up kissing His cheek.
One haughty gopi grabs hold of KrsnaÂ’s
garments to playfully pull Him into a solitary location beside the Yamuna .
Another gopi is dancing with the rasa
with Krsna. As He plays the flute; she claps her hands making her bracelets sweetly tinkle in time with the music. Seeing her skill, Krsna praises.
Krsna embraces a gopi , kisses another, and associates with someone else. Then, He eagerly smiles to attract another gopi with His vulnerable eyes. However, noticing a resisting damsel, who is ever more beautiful, He begins pursuing her.
 O reader! Let Jayadeva’s
description of Sri KesavaÂ’s amazing and secret Vrndavana
prema
keli bring good fortune to you.
