Asthapadi VI, Sakhee He Kesi Madhana - Ode to the Lord

 

As per Indian Philosophy, the Union, Of Purusha and Prakriti, Being and, Nature, brought forth the Universe. This is symbolic of Cosmic Love,

 ! 

How strangely is my mind,

Functioning, O friend !
Radha tells her confidante,

I cannot get angry !

With my beloved Krishna,

Even though He sports,

With the Upanishads or Gopis !

Am I not Nature Personified?

 

I yearn for my Lord,

That He may clasp,

Me to His bosom !

I am perplexed !

The Lord was sitting

In a cottage, under a bower

Shook I with fear

My heart warmed for Him.

 

He has such handsome mien

He looked at me direct

Let Him fulfill my desire

As He fullfils the wishes

Of his dear devotees !

 

pradhama samAgama lajjitayA paTu chATu Satai ranukoolam
mrudu madhura smita bhAshitayA Sithileekruta jaghana dukoolam||sakhee|| |

 

The sweet Lord smiled at me !

He pulled my garment

I did feel shy, as He is always smart,
Steals He albeit ! The heart stealer !

kisalaya Sayana nivESita yA chira murasi mamai vaSayAnam
kruta parirambhaNa chumbanayA parirabhya krutAdhara pAnam||sakhee||

 

I was lying

On a bed of leaves

He lay on my chest

Embraced me

 

And  gave me

Nectar like kiss !

Purusha loves

His Prakriti dear !

 

alasa nimeelita lOchanAya pulakAvali lalita kapOlam
Sramajala sakala kaLEbarAya vara madana madAdatilOlam||sakhee||

 

I perspired,

Due to exhaustion,

I touched His cheeks,

My body tingled with ecstasy !

 

So engrossed was I,

In his grand acts !,

Without Him, how can I exist?
Without me, He is unmanifest !

 

kOkila kalarava koojitAyA jita manasija tantra vichAram
Slatha kusumAkula kuntalayA nakha likhita ghana sthana
bhAram||sakhee||

 

Cuckoos were making

Sonorous sounds !

It seems the Lord

Is an adept in Love !

 

My hair got loose

I danced in ecstasy

With Him who is Lord !

The Lord of all this !

 

 

 

charaNa raNita maNi noopurAya paripoorita surata vitAnam
mukhara viSrunkhala mEkhalAyA sakacha graha chumbana dAnam||sakhee ||

 

 

My gem studded anklets,

Made tinkling noises,

Waist chain loosened,

The Lord caught my hair knot !

 

Embraced me, clasped me,

My desire fulfilled

In Love supernal !

So glorious He was !

 

rati sukha samaya rasAlasAyAdara mukuLita nayana sarOjam
nissaha nipatita tanulatAyA madhusudana mudita manOjam||sakhee||

 

My lotus eyes closed

When He met me !

He resembles Cupid

He met me so many times

 

We danced together,

Purusha and Prakrti,

Whose divine Union,
Brought forth the Universe !

 

Sri jayadEva bhaNita mida matiSaya madhuripu nidhu vana Seelam
sukha mutkanThita gOpavadhoo kadhitam vitanOtu saleelam||sakhee||

 

The poet Jaya Deva,

Sings this poem of Love,

Love of Prakriti,
For Purusha Supernal,

 

Whose union is Cosmos

This is the esoteric meaning

Symbolically depicted

By Radha's utterances !
