Translation

Verse 1

O Rādhe! Vṛndā Devī is very devoted to this confidential secret and she will engage her own associates – all the animals and birds of Vraja will cry out with their own sounds and carefully endeavour to wake them from Their slumber.

Verse 2

The male and female parrots will start singing, the cuckoo will initiate a melody, and all the bumble bees will make humming sounds. If Their sleep is still not broken, then Kakkhaṭī (Rādhā’s female pet monkey) will create a commotion. Then Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa will awake.

Verse 3

Both of Them are feeling rested, and seeing this, I will attain great happiness. When will I be absorbed in the service of offering scented water, as well as beautiful betel leaves flavoured with wonderful camphor, and when will I tie ankle bells on Their feet?

Verse 4

With all my hearing faculty I will hear the most sweet emanations of rasa. Upon having darśana of Their ārati being performed, an ocean of bliss will gush forth. “O Rādhe! Friend of my very life, I see both of Your faces at every moment.”
