Translation

Verse 1

The soul becomes attracted to one of the five direct rasas. The seven indirect rasas follow that primary rasa.

Verse 2

O my brothers, now I will sing the glories of madhura-rasa, I say it is the best of all, the king of all rasas. The virtues of the other rasas are present in madhura-rasa. It is powerful with their powers.

Verse 3

The indirect rasas sweeten madhura-rasa. Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī's followers are naturally attached to madhura-rasa.

Verse 4

Madhura-rasa is glorious and sweet. Lord Kṛṣṇa is always under its dominion. In it Lord Kṛṣṇa's opulence is hidden and His sweetness gloriously manifest. In it the devotees are the lovers and the prince of Vraja (Lord Kṛṣṇa) is the object of their love.
