Nirjana Kutire Sri Radha Carana
Siddhi Lalasa Song 6
nirjana kuṭīre śrī rādhā-caraṇa smaraṇe thākibā
rata śrī rūpa mañjarī dhīre dhīre āsi kahibe amaya
In my solitary cottage, I will constantly remain absorbed in the remembrance of Sri Radha's lotus feet. By and by, I will see Sri Rupa Manjari slowly approaching. Coming up to me, she will then begin saying some very nice things to me.
bolibe o' sakhi! ki koro basiya,
dekhaha bahire asi yugala milana
śobha nirūpama hoibe caraṇa
She will say, "Oh sakhi! My dear friend, what are you doing sitting here? Just come outside here and look --- just see Who is coming! The Divine Couple will now perform Their splendors, unparalleled transcendental meeting, and today you will be one of the maidservants at Their lotus feet!"
svārasikī siddhi braja-gopī dhana parama-cañcala
sati yogīra dheyana nirviśeṣa jñāna na pāya ekhane
The perfections of their personal mellows which are individually exhibited by each of the gopis of Vraja are all the real treasures of Vrndavana, and these individual moods are intelligently fickle and chaste. The so-called meditations of the yogis, or the impersonal speculations of the Brahmavadis cannot get any foothold within the realm of such transcendental mellows as those which are naturally exhibited by the gopis.
sākṣāt darśana madhyāhna līlāya rādhā-pada-sevārthinī
yakhana ye seva koroho yatane śrī rādhā-caraṇe dhāni
Seeing Them personally coming and performing Their midday pastimes there at Radha-kunda, I have become very much desirous to serve the lotus feet of Sri Radha. And whenever I get the opportunity to render some small service, I will perform that service with the greatest care and attention, and I will thus become rich with the treasure of Her lotus feet.
