Adha Adha Anga Milala

Song 30

1

ādha
ādha aṅga milala rādhā kānu ādha
kapāle śaśī ādha bhāle bhānu

Radha and Krsna, the two halves that are the divine couple, meet. One half has a forehead like the moon. The other half has a forehead like the sun.

2

ādha
gale gaja-moti ādha bana-mālā ādha
naba gaura-tanu ādha cikaṇa kālā

One half wears an elephant-pearl necklace. The other half wears a forest-flower garland. One half has a youthful fair form. The other half has a glistening dark form.

3

ādha
aṅge pīta-bāsa ādha nīla śāḍi ādha
bhuje balayā ādha bhuje nīla cuḍi

One half wears yellow garments. The other half wears a sari of blue. One half wears valaya bracelets. The other half wears dark cudi bracelets.

4

ādha
aṅge hilāhili gherāgheri bāhu gobinda
kahe cānda garāsala rāhu

The two halves of the divine couple stand side-by-side, arm-in-arm. Govinda dasa says: They are fair and dark, splendid like dark Rahu in the midst of swallowing the glistening moon.
