May a certain blissful person in splendid yellow silk garments, the soles of His lotus feet glorious as a host of red roses, His form dark as a tamla tree, and His mouth playfully curved in a gentle smile, appear in my heart.

At the request of Akrra, Ka and Balarma left the house of Nanda Mahrja for Mathur. At that time rmt Rdhr's mind was disrupted, and she became almost mad because of extreme separation from Ka. She experienced great

mental pain and agitation, which caused Her to drown in mental speculation in the river of anxiety. Note: The trasnslation of this verse is found in Caitanya-caritmta Antya 14, verse 53 (Vol. 4, page 215). rla Prabhupda comments there: "She (rmat Rdhr) thought, `Now I am going to die, and when I die, Ka will surely come back to see Me again. But when He hears of my death from the people of Vndvana, He will certainly be very unhappy. Therefore I shall not die.'" Text 3 kadcit khedgni vighaayitum antargatam asu sahlbhir lebhe taralita-man ymuna-tam cird asy citta paricita-kutirvalokand avasth tastra sphutam atha suupte priya-sakh kadcit-once; kheda-of distress; agnim-fire; vighatayitum-to extinguish; antargataminternal; asau-this; saha-with; lbhi-gop friends; lebhe-went; taralita-agitated; man-mind; ymuna-of the Yamun river; tam-to the bank; cird-for a long time; asy-her; cittam-mind; paricita-familiar; kutira-cottage; avalokant-from the sight; avastha-staying; tastra-spread; sphuam-manifested; atha-then; suupte-of deep sleep; priya-dear; sakh-friend. One day, when rmat Rdhr was feeling much affliction because of her separation from Ka, She went to the bank of the Yamun with some of Her friends. There, Rdhr saw a cottage wherein She and Ka had experienced many loving pleasures, and by remembering those incidents, She immediately became overcome with dizziness. This dizziness was very prominently visible. Note: The translation of this verse is taken from Nectar of Devotion, in the beginning of Chapter 30.

Fallen in the dust, and Her limbs motionless, She was surrounded by friends holding lotuses, their hearts out of love filled with hundreds of fears, and their tears flooding the Yamun's waves.

When Her limbs resting on Lalit's breast were fanned with many lotus petals cool with Yamun water and Her throat moved with the sprout of a breath, Her watching friends made a joyful sound.

Placing Rdh on a bed of lotus petals, to fetch some water Lalit put her feet on the path. On the Yamun's shore she saw a graceful and sweetly warbling white swan approach her.

Her heart encouraged by seeing the swan, anxious Lalit cautiously approached it, respectfully bowed before it, and praised it. She thought the graceful swan an ideal messenger to carry a letter to Lord Hari's assembly.

Rapt in the anger of love for Ka, she told the swan of her desires. She is not at fault for speaking to a bird. Where will a girl overcome with love for Lord Hari not place her faith?

You live in pure waters. You find happiness among the lotus stems. Your heart is pure. For this reason I, a very unhappy woman, take shelter of you. A request to a saintly person is never fruitless. Note: Here begins Lalit's appeal to the swan.

Enjoy the lotus flowers and the beauty of the gentle rays of the cooling crescent moon. Stay with pleasure on the broad brach of a tree. Then joyfully depart for Mathur, the capital of the Vi dynasty. Sip the sweet, jambu-dark Yamun-water, eat some lotus stems soft and splendid as moonlight, for a moment rest under a great tree, and then, O friend, happily go to the city of Text 15 bald kradant ratha-pathikam akrra-milita vidrd bhr-tatir anuyayau yena ramaam tam dau panthna racaya caritrth bhavatu te virjant sarvopari paramahasa-sthitir ayam balt-violently; krandant-crying; ratha-of the chariot; pathikam-traveller; akrra-with Akrra; militam- together; vidrt-from a great distance; bhr-of gops; tati-the multitude; anuyayau-followed; yena-by which; ramaam-lover (r Ka); tam-that; dau-in the beginning; pathnam-path; racaya-please perform; caritrth-sucess; bhavatu-may be; te-your; virjant-is brilliantly manifested; sarva-everything; upariover; paramahasa-of the great swan; sthiti-abode; ayam-this.

We think this hill that tasted the nectar touch of Ka's cakra-marked hands, defeated its relatives' enemy King Indra, and is appropriately named Govardhana, is the crown of all mountains on the earth. Note: In former ages mountains had wings and could fly, however, when they landed they often caused great disturbances. When King Indra, to stop these disturbances, cut off all their wings, he earned their undying enmity. For this reason Indra is the enemy of all mountains. When Ka thwarted Indra's plans by lifting Govardhana Hill, the hill avenged its relatives. When Ka lifted Govardhana Hill, the cows were protected. For this reason the hill is appropriately named Go (of the cows) vardhana (protection).

Go to the famous place where intelligent Brahm, again and again sprinkling the ground with tears of pure love flowing from his eight eyes, offerred prayers. When you have left, the forest goddesses will think Brahm had just come, riding on you.

When Lord Hari was in the water there, the gops, their hearts overwhelmed and their steps faltering as they anxiously ran on the Yamun's path muddied with waves of tears flowing from their eyes, attained a state that cannot be described.

Note: Because she can no longer offer them to Ka, the new sprouts make her lament.

Offered prayers by bewildered pecocks, black waves of aguru-incense smoke float above Lord Hari's palace. O hero, if by seeing them you become attracted to Mnasa-sarovara, then you have been defeated by a love for staying with fools. Note: Peacocks are pleased by the monsoon season, but swans flee to Mnasasarovara. Here Lalit says that if the swan shares the peacocks' bewilderment and thinks the waves of incense to be monsoon clouds, he is a fool.

Hearing that You enjoy pastimes before the eyes of all who meditate on You, She has become rapt in deep meditation. Believing that You walk on the pathway to the eyes of they who perform austerities, She prepares to perform austerities.

Only playful You trouble Her. Text 91 vijne bhva paupa-raman yadu-mae na jnma kasmt tad api bata my racayasi samantd adhytma yad iha pavanavydhir alapad bald asys tena vyasana-kulam eva dvi-guitam

Jewel of the Yadus, You know the gops love You. We don't know why You try to trick us. Uddhava told us the Supersoul is everywhere, but his words only doubled Rdh's sufferings.

O Ka, O enjoyer of the transcendental rsa dance, simply by dancing in the circle of the rsa dance, You attracted rmat Rdhr's love. Why are You now so indifferent to my dear friend Rdhr? She is lying nearby unconcious, thinking of Your pastimes. I shall determine whether She is alive by putting a cotton swab under Her nostrils, and if She is still living, I shall chastise Her.

My dear beautiful-faced Lalit, I cannot express how My heart is burning. It is a great, unfathomable ocean of anxiety. Still, I wish to offer my obeisances at your lotus feet. What shall I do? Please consider my condition and advise me how I can become peaceful. That is my desire. Note: Translated by His Divine Grace A. C.

Once, in a grove of vsant vines, that rake, laughing, caught Me from behind and covered My eyes with His hands. I became angry and tried to grasp the tips of His fingers. Where did that guru of the scoundrels suddenly go? I don't know. Text 112 atteya vrt viramatu pura paya sarale vayasyas te so 'ya smita-madhurimoma-vadana

Note: The first half of this verse ends Rdh's words. In ?the second half Lalit again speaks.
