Sundari Aparupa Dekhala Aja
Song 63
(Refrain) sundarī aparūpa dekhala āja hari abhisāra
bharama bhare sundarī bichurala sāja bisāja
(Refrain) The beautiful gopi looked at the wonderful arrangement. Yearning to meet Krsna, she took no care that the ornaments were proper or not.
maṇi mañjīra yatane āni dhanī so pahiranu du-i hāta
kiṅkiṇī gīma hāra bali pahirala hāra sājā-ola mātha
With both hands she carefully placed jewel anklets on her feet. She placed a necklace on her neck and an ornament on her head.
ghana andhiyāra rajanī jani kājara garajata barikhata meha
biṣadhara bharala dūrata patha
pā tara ekāli calali teji geha
The night was dark like black kajjala. The clouds thundered and rained. Snakes slithered on the path. Leaving her home, she walked all alone.
cāḍhala manorathe dosara manamathe patha bipatha nāhi
māna gobinda-dāsa kaha-i braja-nāgarī aichana bheṭali kāna
She was filled with longing. Kama was her only companion. She did not care if she walked on the path or on the places where there was no path. Govinda dasa says: This vraja-gopi certainly met Lord Krsna.
