Madhurera Sthayi Bhaba Labhe Jate Abirbhaba
Bhajan | Bhaktivinoda Thakura
Verse 1
madhurera sthāyī bhāba labhe jate abirbhāba
boli tāhā śuno eka-mane
abhijoga o biṣoya sambandhābhimāna-dwoya
tadīya biśeṣa upamāne
Verse 2
swabhāba āśroya kori' citte rati abatori
śṛṅgāra rasera kore puṣṭi
abhijoga ādi choya anye rati-hetu hoya
braja-debīra tāhe nāhi dṛṣṭi
Verse 3
swataḥ-siddhi rati tāṅre sambandhādi-sahākāre
samartha koriyā rākhe sadā
kṛṣṇa-sebā binā tāṅra udyamo nāhika āra
swīya sukha ceṣṭa nāhi kadā
Verse 4
ei rati prauḍha hoya mahā-bhāba dāsa pāya
jāra tulya prāpti āra nāi
sarbādbhuta camatkāra sambhogecchā e prakāra
barṇibāre bākya nāhi pāi
Verse 1
Abhiyoga (joking complaints), viṣoya (perception of Kṛṣṇa through the senses), sambandha (things in relation to Kṛṣṇa), abhimāna (pride), tadīya viśeṣa (Kṛṣṇa's unique possessions), upamāna (poetic comparison of Kṛṣṇa to other things),...
Verse 2
...and svabhāva (spontaneous love) appear in the heart and nourish the sentiment of madhura-rasa. However, the goddesses of Vraja (the gopīs) do not see any need for the six items that begin with abhiyoga.
Verse 3
Although it may be helped by sambandha and other things, the gopīs' love is perfect and independent. It is always manifest. The gopīs never do anything but service to Kṛṣṇa. They never strive for their own happiness.
Verse 4
When this love matures to its highest state it become mahā- bhāva, which has no equal, is the greatest wonder of all wonders, and makes one yearn to please Lord Kṛṣṇa. I have no power to describe this state with mere words.
