Srastam Srastam Udanicayanty
Volume 2: Concluding Prayer
srastam ́ srastam udanñcayanty
adiśirah ̣ śyāmam ́ nicolāñcalam
́ hastena ślatha-durbalena lulitākalpam ́ vahantī tanum
muktārdhām avarudhya veṇim alasa-spande kṣipantī dṛśau
kuñjāt paśya gṛham ́ praviśya
nibhṛtam ́ śete sakhī rādhikā
Look! With a weak hand pulling up the repeatedly falling blue cloth covering Her head, the ornaments on Her body disarrayed, languidly tying Her loosened braids, and slowly looking this way and that, friend Radha leaves the forest, enters Her home, and lies down to rest.
mlānām utkṣipya mālām ́ truṭita-maṇi-sarah
̣ kajjalam ́ bibhrad-oṣṭhe
saṅkīrṇāṅgo nakhāṅkhair diśi
diśi vikiran ghūrṇite netra-padme
paśya mlānāṅga-yaṣṭih ̣ sphuṭam
aparicito gopa-goṣṭhībhir agre
goṣṭham ́ goṣṭhendra-sūnuh ̣ praviśati
rajanau dhvaṁsam āsādayantyām
Tossing aside His wilted garland, His jewel necklace broken, mascara on His lips, His body decorated with fingernail marks, His lotus eyes rolling in all directions, and His arms fatigued, unseen by the gopas, the prince of Vraja enters Vraja Village just as night is ending.
