Ei Nava Dasa Bali
Lalasa Song 3
ei nava dāsī boli śrī rūpa cāhibe
heno śubha kṣaṇa mora koto dine hobe
When will I be a young gopi -maidservant? When will Sri Rupa-manjari directly order me? When will that auspicious time be?
śīghra ājñā koriben - dāsi hethā āya!
sevāra susajjā kārya koroho tvarāya
When will Sri Rupa-manjari repeatedly order me about, saying: "O maidservant, come here. Quickly arrange for my fancy garments and ornaments."
ānandita hoiyā hiyā tāra ājñā bole
pavitra monete kārya koribo tatkāle
By hearing these orders I will become delighted. These orders will completely absorb the attention of my purified mind.
sevāra sāmagrī ratna thālete koriyā
suvāsita vāri svarṇa jhārite pūriyā
When, in Sri Rupa-manjari's service, will I fill a jeweled tray with various paraphernalia for worship? When, engaged in her service, will I fill a golden goblet with aromatic water?
doṅhāra sammukhe lo'ye dibo śīghragati
narottamera daśā kobe hoibe emati
When will I be able to quickly approach the Divine Couple? When will Narottama dasa attain this condition of life?
