Aho Pasyatha Citram Gokula Raji

(refrain)

aho paśyatha citraḿ gokula-rāji-mahimānam

ya iha suta-karmeṇa pariṇayana-śarmaṇe ‘cinuta kamalā-gaṇam amānam


(1)

yad anu kila rādhikāḿ nikhila-sukha-sādhikām acita sakala-samudaya-sāram

adhiyad api bhavatyā muhur api ca navyatāḿ vahati vahala-phalam apāram


(2)

ucitam api tādṛśaḿ sa hi tanayam īdṛśaḿ labdham aracayad amala-rūpam

apara-hṛtam apy alaḿ praṇaya-kṛta-sad-balaḿ sa-balam ahṛta nija-kula-bhūpam


(3)

tri-jagad ati-cārakaḿ hṛdayam ati-bhārakaḿ dhartum abhito ‘pi na śakyate

tad iha paramaḿ sukhaḿ vivaha-vādyam unmukhaḿ hṛdi vasatīti ca vitarkyate


Refrain: Look at the wonderful glories of Gokula! Numberless goddesses of fortune have come to the auspicious ceremony of Lord Krsna’s wedding!

1) See how Radha is the happiest and the most beautiful of all. See how She stands in peerless, eternal youth.

2) King Nanda has arranged that his son be gloriously dressed and decorated for the occasion. Filled with love, Balarama and all the royal relatives have come from Dvaraka.

3) Even the three worlds cannot hold all the joy in King Nanda’s heart. I think his heart must be filled with joy as he yearns to hear the marriage vows.
