Verse 1
I shall die, I shall die, O sakhi, I shall surely die; leaving behind such a treasure of virtues as Kanu, where shall I go?
Verse 2
Whichever of you sakhis stays by my side, at the time of my death write Krishna's name upon my body.
Verse 3
O Lalita, friend of my life, whisper the mantra in my ear, so that as my body burns it may still hear the name of Krishna.
Verse 4
Do not burn my body, do not cast it into the water; when I die, lift me up and lay me upon the branch of a tamala tree.
Verse 5
That very tamala tree is dark like Krishna himself; let my lifeless body remain resting there.
Verse 6
If ever that beloved comes again to Vrindavana, I shall regain my life at the very sight of him.
Verse 7
But if again I fail to see that moon-like face, I shall give up this body in the fire of separation.
Verse 8
Saying this again and again, the noble lady fell unconscious; Visakha rushed and took her into her lap.
Verse 9
Her limbs trembled violently, her breath grew faint; holding wisps of cotton to the tip of her nose, Visakha checked for her breath.
Verse 10
Putting her mouth to Radha's ear, she spoke the name of Krishna; regaining consciousness, Radha said, "Where is my dark-as-cloud beloved?"
Verse 11
Seeing the tamala tree right before her, she gazed at it; growing mad with longing, she rushed to embrace it.
Verse 12
Beholding such a state of the noble lady, Govinda Dasa's own eyes filled with tears.
