Sva Dayita Giri Kacche Gavya

Dana Nirvartana Kundastakam

At the base of Their favorite hill, the youthful divine couple pretended to quarrel over Krsna's claim to collect a toll of yogurt and milk-products. The arrogant joking words of Radha's friends made the divine couple blossom with happiness. I pray that I may reside at Dana- sarovara, the witness of this dana-keli pastime.

Because Sri Krsna enjoyed the dana-keli pastime in a secluded place by the shore of this lake, it has become known as Dana- sarovara. The truth of this lake remains hidden to persons averse to the mellows of pure devotional service. Only the devotees have the power to understand it. I pray that I may reside at Dana- sarovara, where the divine couple enjoy the dana-keli pastime.

It is beautiful with the graceful pastimes of many birds. It is cool, fragrant with many charming lotuses, and filled with the sounds of swarms of bees intoxicated by the aroma of fresh honey. I pray that I may reside at Dana- sarovara, where the divine couple enjoy the dana-keli pastime.

Accompanied by Their affectionate young friends, the divine couple enters the nearby forest groves filled with newly-blossoming flowers and humming bees and enjoys incomparable ever-fresh pastimes there.

By deeply drinking its water, birds, animals, cows, and humans become at once filled with a host of transcendental virtues. I pray that I may reside at Dana- sarovara, where the divine couple enjoy the dana-keli pastime.

Every day, as he converses with His friends, the moon of the gopas makes the surabhi cows drink its sweet, aromatic, and cold water, and when they have finished, He Himself drinks. I pray that I may reside at Dana- sarovara, where the divine couple enjoy the dana-keli pastime.
