Gotha Bijayi Braja Raja Kisora
Song 81
(Refrain) goṭha bijayī braja-rāja
kiśora jananī-biracita beśa ujora
(Refrain) Splendidly dressed by His mother, Vraja's young prince walks to the pastures.
āge agaṇita kata go- dhana caliyā
pāche braja-bālaka hai hai baliyā
Numberless cows walk before Him. Behind Him Vraja's boys cry, " Hai! Hai!"
sama baya beśa sabahu kari chānda
rāma bāme calu śyāmara-cānda
Like Him in age, garments, manner, and every other way, hosts of boys surround Him. With Balarama at His left, Lord Krsna, splendid like a dark moon, walks.
mayūra śikhaṇḍa cūḍe jhalamaliyā
maṇimaya kuṇḍala ṭalamaliyā
A peacock feather splendidly rests in His crown. His jewel earrings swing to and fro.
śira-para cānda adhara-para muralī
cala-ite panthe karaye kata kuralī
His forehead is like the glistening moon. Walking on the path, how many melodies does He play on the flute at His lips?
kaṭi-taṭe pīta paṭāmbara baniyā
manthara gati calu gaja-bara jiniyā
A yellow cloth is gracefully wrapped about His waist. He slow walking defeats the graceful elephant.
maṇi-mañjīra bājata raṇa-jhaniyā
gobinda-dāsa kaha-i dhani dhaniyā
His jewel anklets jangle. Govinda dasa says: Lord Krsna is the most glorious of all who are glorious.
