(Refrain)
gokula-mańgala-vaḿśī-
dhvanir udgarjati vana-gataye smara-bhūpati-śāsana-śaḿsī
(1)
kiḿ vitanoṣi mudhāńga-vibhūṣaṇa-kapaṭenātra vighātam
soḍhum ahaḿ samayasya na samprati śaktā lavam api pātam
(2)
mādhava-caraṇāńguṣṭha-nakha-dyutir ayam udayati hima-dhāmā
mā gurujana-bhayam udgira muhur iyam abhavaḿ dhāvita-kāmā
(3)
taḿ sevitum iha paśya sanātana-paramāraṇya-javeśam
gopa-vadhū-tatir iyam upasarpati bhānu-sutā-taṭa-deśam
(Refrain) The flute that brings auspiciousness to Gokula now thunders King Kamadeva’s order to go to the forest.
(1) Why do you make a delay with these superfluous decorations? I cannot tolerate even a moment’s delay!
(2) “Madhava’s toenails are very splendid.” “The moon is now rising!” “Don’t tell me again and again how I should fear my superiors! I yearn to run to Madhava!”
(3) Look! The gopis are all going to the Yamuna’s shore to serve Madhava, who is always handsomely decorated with forest flowers.
