Ami To Swananda

Bhakti-pratikula-bhava Varjanangikara Song 4

1

āmi
to' swānanda-sukhada-bāsī rādhikā-mādhava-caraṇa-dāsī

I am a resident of Svananda-sukhada-kunja and a maidservant of the lotus feet of Radhika and Madhava.

2

duṅhāra
milane ānanda kori duṅhāra
viyoge duḥkhete mari

At the union of the Divine Couple I rejoice, and in Their separation I die in anguish.

3

sakhī-sthalī
nāhi heri nayane dekhile
śaibyāke paraye mane

I never look at the place where Candravali and her friends stay. Whenever I see such a place it reminds me of Candravali's gopi friend, Saibya.

4

je-je
pratikūla candrāra sakhī prāne
duḥkha pāi tāhāre dekhi'

I feel pain in my heart when I catch sight of Candravali's girl-friends, for they are opposed to Radha.

5

rādhikā-kuñja
āṅdhāra kori' loite
cāhe se rādhāra hari

Candravali wants to take away Radha's Lord Hari, thus covering the grove of Radhika with the darkness of gloom.

6

śrī-rādhā-govinda-milana-sukha pratikūla-jana
nā heri mukha

I never look at the faces of those who are opposed to Sri Radha and Govindas joyous union.

7

rādhā-pratikūla
jateka jana- sambhāṣane
kabhu nā hoy mana

Nor do I find any pleasure in conversing with those who are opposed to Radha.

8

bhakativinoda
śrī-rādhā-caraṇe saṅpeche
parāna atīva jatane

Bhaktivinoda has enthusiastically entrusted his soul to the lotus feet of Srimati Radharani.
