TRANSLATION
1) He who is like a moon shining in Vrndavana forest enjoys pastimes of throwing red powder. He is filled with Kamadeva’s desires.
-
In the midst of circle of beautiful gopis a blissful, reddish, wave-filled river of spiritual love flows.
-
She who is the great heroine of amorous pastimes showers red powder on Him. He who is the king of amorous pastimes kisses Her face.
-
Her moon-faced gopi friends are filled with wonder. Gathering together, they all attack Krsna.
-
Trembling, they run to Krsna, snatch away His flute, and flee.
-
“Bhali! Bhali!” the karatalas declare. There is a great tumult of, “Ho! Ho! Holi!”
-
The ground is now red with powder. They young trees are red. Every being moving on the ground or in the water is now one color only.
-
The water is red. The lotuses are red. Even Govinda dasa’s heart is covered now with red.
