Translation

Verse 1

Hearing news of Kanu, her voice choked with feeling, the companion comes to meet by Radha's side.

Verse 2

The companion says, "Listen, O fair one — for your sake, the young son of Nanda is utterly distressed."

Verse 3

"Gazing upon your beauty, he embraces a tree in its place; merely looking at your memory, tears keep streaming from his eyes."

Verse 4

"If you do not go to him, O beautiful one, then Kana, the lover, will give up his very life."

Verse 5

He cannot bear the burning fire of Kamadeva any longer — thus Govinda Dasa describes him, fanned even now with a whisk to soothe the fire within.
