priyaḥ so 'yaṁ
kṛṣṇaḥ saha-cari kuru-kṣetra-militas tathāhaṁ
sā rādhā tad idam ubhayoḥ saṅgama-sukham tathāpy
antaḥ-khelan-madhura-muralī-pañcama-juṣe mano me
kālindī-pulina-vipināya spṛhayati

[Srimati Radharani said] "My dear friend, now I have met My very old and dear friend Krsna on this field of Kuruksetra. I am the same Radharani, and now We are meeting together. It is very pleasant, but still I would like to go to the bank of the Yamuna beneath the trees of the forest there. I wish to hear the vibration of His sweet flute playing the fifth note within that forest of Vrndavana."

sugandhau
mākanda-prakara-makarandasya madhure vinisyande
vandī-kṛta-madhupa-vṛndaṁ muhur idam kṛtāndolaṁ
mandonnatibhir anilaiś candana-girer mamānandaṁ
vṛndā-vipinam atulaṁ tundilayati

[Lord Krsna said] "The sweet, fragrant honey oozing from newly grown mango buds is again and again attracting groups of bumblebees, and this forest is trembling in the softly moving breezes from the Malaya Hills, which are full of sandalwood trees. Thus the forest of Vrndavana is increasing My transcendental pleasure."

bhṛṅgī-gītaṁ kvacid

vallī-lāsyaṁ kvacid amala-mallī-parimalaḥ kvacid
dhārā-śālī karaka-phala-pālī-rasa-bharo hṛṣīkāṇāṁ
vṛndaṁ pramadayati vṛndāvanam idam

[Lord Krsna said to Madhumangala] "My dear friend, this forest of Vrndavana is giving great pleasure to our senses in various ways. Somewhere bumblebees are singing in groups, and in some places mild breezes are cooling the entire atmosphere. Somewhere the creepers and tree twigs are dancing, the mallika flowers are expanding their fragrance, and an overabundance of juice is constantly flowing in showers from pomegranate fruits."

balād
akṣṇor lakṣmīḥ kavalayati navyaṁ
kuvalayaṁ mukhollāsaḥ
phullaṁ kamala-vanam ullaṅghayati ca daśāṁ
kaṣṭām aṣṭā-padam api nayaty
āṅgika-rucir vicitraṁ
rādhāyāḥ kim api kila rūpaṁ vilasati

[Paurnamasi said] "The beauty of Srimati Radharani's eyes forcibly devours the beauty of newly grown blue lotus flowers, and the beauty of Her face surpasses that of an entire forest of fully blossomed lotuses. Her bodily luster seems to place even gold into a painful situation. Thus the wonderful, unprecedented beauty of Srimati Radharani is awakening in Vrndavana."
