Bhamini Prccha Na Varam Varam
Volume 6 Song 8
(Refrain) bhāmini pṛccha na vāram ́ vāram hanta
vimuhyati vīkṣya mano mama ballava-rāja-kumāram
(Refrain) Beautiful one, please do not ask again and again. Now that I have seen the prince of the gopas, My heart has become enchanted.
kuṭilam ́ mām avalokya navāmbujam upari cucumba sa raṅgī
tena haṭhād aham abhavam ́ vepathu-maṇḍala-sañcalad-aṅgī
Glancing at Me, passionate Krsna kissed a bending new lotus flower. Because of that hint My whole body is now violently trembling.
dāḍima-latikām anu nistala-phala-namitām
́ sa dadhe hastam tad-
anubhavān mama dharmojjvalam
api dhairya-dhanam ́ gatam astam
When He placed His hand on a pomegranate creeper bowed down with two round fruits, the splendor of My piety and the wealth of My peacefulness fled far away.
adaśad aśoka-latā-pallavam ayam atanu-sanātana-narmā tad
aham avekṣya babhūva ciram ́ bata vismṛta-kāyika-karmā
When I saw Him bite a red asoka flower as He continually joked, I at once forgot all My household duties.
