Kancana Yuthi Kusuma Lai Gori
Song 21
kāñcana-yūthī kusuma la- i gori
nirama-i mūrati yatana kari tori
O beautiful fair girl, taking a golden yuthi flower, He carefully made a Deity of You.
tuyā anubhābe āliṅga-i tāya so
tanu tāpe bhasama bha-i yāya
Filled with love for You, He embraced that Deity, but the heat of His body turned that Deity into ashes.
śuna śuna o bṛṣabhā;
nu-kumārī tuyā birahānale jwalata murāri
Listen. Listen, O daughter of King Vrsabhanu. Krsna burns in many flames of separation from You.
jhamara nīla-utpala-dala aṅga
lore nā heraye nayana-taraṅga
His body graceful like blue lotus petals is overcome. His eyes now flooded with waves of tears, He cannot see.
bigati muralī phurali rahu dūra
anukhaṇa madana dahana paripūra
He threw His flute far away. Moment after moment He drowns in the flames of Kamadeva's fire.
bicharala piñcha mukuṭa paripāṭi
sahacare meli marata jī -u kāṭi
He forgets His peacock-feather crown. His friends gather around Him. Soon His life with be cut and He will die.
jī -u rahata aba tuyā rasa āśe
tohari caraṇe kahe gobinda-dāse
Before Your feet Govinda dasa says: The hope that again He will enjoy nectar pastimes with You is all that keeps Sri Krsna alive.
