Sundari Sadhvi Tvam

Volume 6 Song 36

1

(Refrain) sundari sādhvī tvam iha kiśorī tat katham
asi vada goṣṭha-purandara-nandana-hṛn-maṇi-corī

Refrain: O beautiful one, You are a pious young girl. Tell me: Why have You stolen the jewel that is the prince of Vraja's heart?

2

na hi saṅgopaya para-dhanam adhunā tvam ́ viditā kula-pālī
lalitā-sakhi kuru karuṇām ́ sīdati kandara-bhuvi vana-mālī

You are known as a pious girl. Don't hide another's wealth. The Lord who wears a garland of forest flowers now stays in a cave. O friend of Lalita, be merciful to Him.

3

ayi ramaṇī-maṇi ramaṇīyam ́ maṇim arpaya punar avilambam
bhavatu nirākulam ati-kṛpayā tava hari-parijana-nikurambam

O jewel of beautiful girls, return the handsome jewel at once! Only by Your great mercy can Lord Hari's friends become peaceful.

4

dūtī-yugam idam avanamati svayam avani-luṭhita-kaca-jūṭam
tanvi sanātana-sauhṛdam anusara vistāraya na hi kūṭam

These two gopi messengers bow down before You. They roll on the ground, their hair in disarray. O slender girl, only give love to the eternal Supreme Personality of Godhead. Do not cheat Him.
