Srila Jagadananda Pandit's Prema Vivarta Chapter 16

 

piriti périti piriti bale

piriti bujhila ke?

ye jana piriti bujhite pare

vraja gopé haya se

So much talk about love, love, love, but who really understands love? It is the gopis of Vraja who understand love. (Text 24)

piriti baliya tina ti agkhara

vidita bhuvana majhe

yahate pasila sei se majila

ki tara kalaìka-laje

The word piriti, love, consisting of three syllables, is famous throughout the universe. Whoever is touched by love becomes totally obsessed by it, oblivious to shame or disrepute. (25)

samsare yateka purusa ramani

alambana dose sada

rakta mamsa dehe aropa karite

naraki haya sarvada

Those persons who mistakenly interpret passionate lusty relationships between men and women in this material world to be genuine love dwell always in hell. (28)

ataeva tara sahaja sadhane

krsna krpa yabe paya

jada deha gandha chadiya se saba

cid-ananda rasa dhaya

When such persons perform proper sadhana and get Krishna's mercy, they give up all trace of bodily attachments and aspire for real transcendental pleasure.
