| janama saphala ta'ra | krsna-darasana ya'ra |
| bhagye ha-iyachhe eka-bara |
| vikasiya hrn-nayana | kari' krsna darasana |
| chhade jiva chitera vikara [1] |
The birth of one who, by good fortune, has once seen Krishna is successful.
Developing the heart's eyes and seeing Krishna, such a soul abandons all
delusions.
| vrndavana-keli chatur vanamali |
| tribhanga-bhangima-rupa | vamsi-dhari aparupa |
| rasamaya nidhi, guna-sali [2] |
Krishna is expert at play in Vrindavan. He wears a forest garland, poses bent
in three places, and plays the flute perfectly. He is a reservoir of rasa and
possesses all qualities.
| varna nava jaladhara | sire sikhi-pichchha-vara |
| alaka tilaka sobha paya |
| paridhane pita-vasa | vadane madhura hasa |
| hena rupa jagat mataya [3] |
His complexion is the colour of a fresh rain cloud. His forehead is adorned
with tilak, curling locks, and a fine peacock feather. He wears yellow
garments and has a sweet smile on His face. His form enchants the world.
| indra-nila jini | krsna-rupa-khani |
| heriya kadamba-mule |
| mana uchatana | na chale charana |
| samsara gelama bhule [4] |
Beholding Krishna's form, which surpasses the beauty of a sapphire, beneath a
kadamba, my heart was overwhelmed. My feet could not move. I forgot the
world.
| (sakhi he) sudhamaya se rupa madhuri |
| dekhile nayana | haya achetana |
| jhare premamaya vari [5] |
O friend! When I saw the beauty of Krishna's nectarean form, I fainted and
shed tears of divine love.
| kiba chuda sire | kiba vamsi kare |
| kiba se tribhanga thama |
| charana-kamale | amiya uchhale |
| tahate nupura dama [6] |
What a crown on His head! What a flute in His hand! What a threefold pose!
Nectar surged from His lotus feet, which were adorned with tinkling anklets.
| sada asa kari | bhrnga-rupa dhari |
| charana-kamale sthana |
| anayase pai | krsna-guna gai |
| ara na bhajiba ana [6] |
I eternally desire to take the form of a bee, easily attain a place at
Krishna's lotus feet, and sing His glories. I will never serve anyone
else.
