Sunur Adbhuta Sundaro Jani

Volume 6 Song 2

1

(Refrain) sūnur adbhuta-sundaro ' jani nanda-rāja
tavāyam dehi goṣṭha-janāya vāñchitam utsavocita-dāyam

Refrain: O Nandaraja, a wonderfully handsome son is now born to you. Please give charity to the people of Vraja on this festive occasion.

2

vipra-vṛndam abhūd alaṅkṛti-godhanair api pūrṇam
gāyanān api mad- vidhān vraja-nātha toṣaya tūrṇam

The brahmanas are now full with ornaments and cows. O king of Vraja, please at once satisfy the singers like myself.

3

tāvakātmaja-vīkṣaṇa-kṣaṇa-nandi mad- vidha-cittam
yan na kair api labdham arthibhir etad icchati vittam

The hearts of those like me hanker for the treasure of the blissful sight of your son. This treasure has not yet been granted to anyone who has appealed for it.

4

śrī-sanātana-citta-mānasa-keli-nīla-marāle
mādṛśām ́ ratir atra tiṣṭhatu sarvadā tava bāle

I pray that I may always love your son, who is a dark swan playing in the Manasa lake of Sanatana Gosvami's heart.
