Translation

Verse 1

Speaking such words, the Vraja women stood with tearful eyes.

Verse 2

Their desires all broken, their faces bowed, they scratched lines upon the ground with their nails.

Verse 3

With troubled hearts and choked voices they said: "We cannot bear your merciless words, sharp as arrows."

Verse 4

"Listen, listen, you cunning dark moon -- how can you speak of leaving after such a bond as this?"

Verse 5

"You would break the good name and honour of cowherd girls -- as though snatching away the very anklets that jingle at our feet."

Verse 6

"Now, deceitfully, you speak words dressed as righteousness -- is it righteous to abandon a helpless maiden?"

Verse 7

"We surrendered our lives to you and tasted your love's flavour; having left your feet now, where else could we go?"

Verse 8

Hearing the Vraja girls speak thus together, the son of Nanda became joyful.

Verse 9

Blessed by the poet's grace, he takes his delight there; Govinda Dasa beholds it all with joy.
