Kusumita Vrndavane Nacata Sikhi Gane

TRANSLATION

1) Vrndavana is filled with blossoming flowers, the dancing of peacocks and the sounds of cuckoos
and bumble-bees. When, in the association of the dear gopis, will I melodiously sing in a charming
cottage in a grove of Vrndavana?

2) When, seeing the slowly and gracefully moving Divine Couple, will my hairs stand on end because of
the ecstasy in my heart?

3) When, in the company of the gopis, will Srimati Radharani gesture that she wants me to comb her
hair, and when will I then take the comb in my hand, and carefully comb her curling locks?

4) When will I anoint Srimati Radharani's limbs with sandalwood paste and musk? When will I give
her beautiful garlands? When will I gaze on her moonlike face as I decorate it with tilaka
markings drawn in sandalwood paste and kunkuma?

5) When will I carefully dress Srimati Radharani in blue garments? When will I place jewelled anklets
on her feet? When will I take water from a jar and wash her reddish lotus feet? When will I then dry
her feet using my own hair as a towel?

6) When will I make a couch of lotus petals for the Divine Couple? When will I gently fan Them with
a white camara whisk?

7) When from a golden box will I take betel-nuts and camphor, and place them in the lotus mouths of
the Divine Couple? When will I carefully chew the aromatic remnants of such betel-nuts, which
have become mixed with nectar from mouths of the Divine Couple?

8) O Lokanatha Gosvami, O my spiritual master, O friend of the poor and wretched conditioned souls,
O ocean of mercy, please hear the appeal of this person who is very miserable and poor-hearted. O
Radha and Krsna, O holy land of Vrndavana, O intimate gopi-friends of the Divine Couple, I beg that you
all grant this charity to me. Please fulfil these desires.
