Ha Ha Kabe Gaura Nitai
Ucchvasa: Prarthana Lalasmayi Song 11
ha ha kabe gaura-nitai e patita-jane,
uru krpa kori' dekha dibe du'ti bhai
Alas, alas! When, oh when will the two Brothers Gaura-Nitai show Themselves to this most fallen person, thus exhibiting Their causeless mercy?
dunhu-krpa-bale, navadvipa-dhame,
dekhibo brajer sobha ananda-sukhada-kunja mahohara,
heribo nayana-lobha
By the power of the mercy of Them both, I will see the transcendental splendor of Vraja at Navadvipa. My mind being charmed thus at my residence at Ananda-sukhada-kunja, I will behold such wondrous thing with my very eyes.
tahar nikate, sri-lalita-kunda,
ratna-bedi kota sata jatha radha-krsna, lila bistariya,
biharena abirata
Just nearby to my kutir is Lalita-kunda, surrounded by hundreds and thousands of bejewelled altars. At that place Sri Radha-Krsna can be seen, continuously sporting there as They expand Their pastimes.
sakhigana jatha, lilar sahay,
nana seba-sukha pay e dasi tathay, sakhira ajnate,
karye iti-uti dhay
All of Their confidential girlfriends are also there assisting the pastimes by performing various services for the pleasure of Their Lordships. This maidservant is also there, busy running here and there on the orders of the sakhis.
malatir mala, ganthiya anibo,
dibo tabe sakhi-kare radha-krsna-gale, sakhi paraibe,
nacibo ananda-bhare
Stringing a garland of malati flowers, I will bring it and place it into the hands of a sakhi. She will place it around the necks of Sri Radha-Krsna, and I will dance, filled with ecstasy.
