How beauteous is Radha Rani  
Delicate like Vasanti flower in Spring, 
She pined in love  
With monumental patience !

She was assailed by Cupid,
Prakriti's love for Purusha
She roamed in Vrindavan,
In search of Her Lord !
!

Her confidante told her
The cool breeze of Spring
Is blowing gently

Cuckoos are cooing
Cottages are humming
With the sound of bees
Lord Krishna is there

Strolling and dancing
With the Gopis
Let us go there
And see the Handsome One !

Young maids are suffering
In their hearts
Due to intense desire
And passion for the Lord

Charged the ambience is
With the fragrance
Of Vakula flowers
And humming bees !

The perfume of musk
Is pervading around
Kinsuka and Tamala trees
Flowers, fragrant, fresh

Are intoxicating
Resemblance is startling
Between redness of Kinsuka flowers
And the nails of Manmadha !

Redness is caused
By Cupid's nails !
Because he pierced hearts
Of lovers !


madana maheepati kanaka danDa ruchi kEsara kusuma vikAsE
miLita Sileemukha pATala paTala kruta smaratooNa vilApE||viharati||
 
Like the umbrella golden
Of Cupid, Manmadha
Are fully blossomed flowers
The swarm of black bees

And flowers Aare like quiver and arrows
Of Cupid, Manmadha
It seemed that Cupid
Was at war with Gopis !

Damsels young Are displaying love

The flowers white Of the Karuna tree
Appear to be laughing At them !
 
Like Cupid's weapons
Are white flowers
Of Ketaka !
Shearing hearts
Of maids in love !
 

mAdhavikA parimaLa lalitE nava mAlati jAti sugandhou

The fragrace of flowers
Madhavika, Malati and Jasmine
Intoxicate the minds
Of even Rishies !
Youth love
Such Flora !

Atimukta creepers are
Twinng around mango trees
Tickling mango buds
In the season of spring !
River Yamuna is flowing
By side of Vrindavan
Sanctifying forest
With waters perennial !

Poet Jaya Deva sings this song
Meditating on His Lotus Feet !
Main aim is to promote
Love Divine for the Lord !
The influence of Spring
Is described in this Song !
How it affects lovers
And those who suffer
Viraha, separation from Beloved
From their Divine Lover !
