Sajali Syama Vinodini Radhe
Song 66
(Refrain) sājali śyāma binodinī rādhe saṅgahi
raṅga taraṅgi raṅgiṇī madana mohana chānde
(Refrain) Radha enjoys many pastimes with dark Krsna. In His company She splashes in many waves of pastimes. She enchants Him with amorous lila.
mañju caraṇa-yuga yābaka rañjana
khañjana gañjana mañjīra bāje
nīla-basana maṇi kiṅkiṇī raṇaraṇi
kuñjara damana gamana kṣīṇa mājhe
Her graceful feet are anointed with red yavaka. Her anklets jangle like cooing khanjana birds. Her garments are blue. Her jewel ornaments jangle. Her waist is slender like a lioness' waist.
kanaka kaṭora cora kuca koraka
jora ujora motima dāma bhuja-yuga
thira bijurī pari maṇimaya kaṅkaṇa jhanakite camakita kāma
Her flower-bud breasts rob the golden goblet of its splendor. Her pearl necklace glistens. Her arms defeat the unmoving lightning flashes. Her jangling jewel bracelets startle Kamadeva.
manorama hāsa sudhā-rasa nirasana
daśana-jyoti jita motima kānti
subhaga kapola lola maṇi-kuṇḍala
daśa diśa bharala nayana śara-pānti
Her charming smile eclipses the sweetest nectar. The splendor of Her teeth defeats the splendor of pearls. Jewel earrings sway to and fro on Her graceful cheeks. Her eyes fill the ten directions with arrows of glances.
jhāmpila kabarī bhāle alakābalī
bhāṅa dhanuyā janu manamatha
sebi gobinda-dāsa hṛdaye abadhārali śiṅgāra deba adhidebī
Her ringlets of hair are gathered into graceful braids. The archer Kamadeva skillfully bends the bows of Her eyebrows. In his heart Govinda dasa knows for certain this girl is the goddess who keeps company with Krsna, the Deity of playful amorous pastimes.
