Translation

Verse 1

Radha is the embodiment of rasa, Krishna is the embodiment of rasa -- who can know, tell me, what is in your heart?

Verse 2

You, though intensely angered, do not sit turned away in estrangement -- both of you have entered deep into the Vrindavana forest.

Verse 3

What shall I say, O sakhi -- I laugh even as I try to speak of it -- how wondrous, how wondrous are the pastimes of these two!

Verse 4

Their eyes, heavy with love, filled with gazing at each other's path, as they reached the darkness at the heart of the forest bower.

Verse 5

When each of the two was asked where they were going, each one's mind grew evasive; each one instead spoke only the name of their own companion.

Verse 6

In confusion they spoke words touching the heart's secret; their companions understood that the two were now folded in each other's embrace.

Verse 7

When the two met and embraced each other -- Govinda Dasa says, who can tell what then took place!
