O Dearest Lord, by your incarnation the land of Vraja (Vrindaban)
has
Surpassed all the other places, that's why the goddess of beauty
and
Modesty has left "vaikuntha" and has made it her permanent
abode here.
But, O beloved Graciously take notice of us Gopis who are dedicated
in
Your lotus feet and are wandering in all directions looking
for you.

O

fulfiller
of all our desires, Is it not slaughter on your part to strike
us with the rays
of your divine eyes which are more beautiful than the petals
of a beautiful
lotus in the clear autumn lake and which have already wounded
us? Is it
only weapons that can wound?

desire and rid

now these
memories are making our minds are very agitated and lonely.

our eyelids. At that time it seems that creator of eyelids is
cruel.

As your feet are more tender than a lotus, we use utmost caution
while putting them on our chest(heart). With same tender feet
you wander in the deep dark forest bare feet. The mere thought
of you treading with those tender feet on the thorny, stony
paths in the forest give us pain and we loose our wits. O Lord,
our lives are Only for you. We are only living for you. We are
only yours!!
