Sakhi Gana Meli Ye Karala
Song 71
sakhī-gaṇa meli ye karala payāṇa
kautuke keli-kuṇḍe abagāna
The gopis assemble and depart. They joyfully enter the waters of the pastime lake.
jala-māha paiṭhala sakhī-gaṇa meli
duhu jana samara karala jala-keli
The gopis meet in the midst of the waters. The divine couple enjoys many water pastimes. Playfully They fight in the water.
bichurala kuntala jarajara aṅga
gahana samare de- i nāgara bhaṅga
Their hair becomes disheveled. Their limbs are filled with bliss. In a furious duel, the hero Krsna defeats His gopi beloved.
sakhī-gaṇa beḍhala nāgara-canda
gobinda-dāsa heri raha dhandha
The gopis surround Krsna, the moon of heroes, and attack Him from all sides. Watching, Govinda dasa is filled with wonder.
