Translation

Verse 1

While chanting the name of Govinda, a host of ecstatic feelings arose in me, and I saw, on the bank of the Yamuna, the best of dancers, dark Shyama, playing his flute at the foot of a kadamba tree, joyfully in the company of the daughter of King Vrishabhanu.

Verse 2

Seeing that treasure of the Divine Couple, my mind grew unsteady, and I lost all awareness at that very moment. I do not know how long it lasted; when I finally regained my senses, that vision was there no more.
