Vrindavana-mahimamrita
Vrindavana-mahimamrita Shataka
By Sri Prabodhananda Saraswati
Verset 30
Greedy to taste the nectar of Lord Hari, I have abandoned all material responsibilities. Why have you not given me even a small drop of that nectar? O Vrindavana, why do you cheat me in this way?
31 As splendid as sapphires and molten gold, a youthful couple is blinded with the nectar of love in the land of Vrindavana. I yearn to serve Their feet.
32 Let me surrender to the saintly devotees who reside in Vrindavana, the very secret and wonderfully sweet transcendental abode mercifully appearing in this world although in reality it is very far from both this material world and the spiritual realm of Vaikuntha.
33 O unfortunate fool, please dive into the splendid ocean of spiritual nectar that is the land of Vrindavana. Why, impelled by the thirst to taste the poison of sense gratification, do you waste your time swimming in the ocean of sufferings?
34 There is a gopi full of love for Sri Radha's lotus feet. Her young, charming, fair form is filled with spiritual splendour. Her waist and limbs are slender. Her breasts are very beautiful. She wears a splendid new cloth on Her broad, youthful hips.
35 She wears a graceful splendid string of jewels over her navel, a locket and many necklaces over the graceful bodice covering her youthful breasts, jewel anklets on her feet, and a sash on her hips. She is splendid as a golden vine with two new clusters of flowers.
36 She wears a splendid jewelled graiveya on her neck, golden rings with pearls and colourful jewels on her ears, a gold-and-jewel-studded pearl in her nose, and a splendid lotus at the tip of her flower-entwined braids.
37-38 Devotional service to Srimati Varsabhanavi's lover in my heart, at every moment intoxicated with intense love for Sri Sri Radha-Krishna, laughing and laughing with every action, the hairs of my body standing up as my Lord eternally smiles, in the company of sadhus hearing and talking of my king and queen's sweetness, residing in Vrindavana, with all my heart worshipping the Lord who is the eternal friend of the devotees, and His feet become my greatest treasure, with great respect I fall down as a stick before His feet.
39 I throw away all my pride and place upon my head the dust of the feet of anyone who, with unwavering love for the lotus feet of Sri Sri Radha-Krishna, is determined to always stay in Vrindavana.
40 As Srimati Radha, fatigued from the battle of conjugal pastimes, rests on the chest of Her lover, a certain gopi plunged in pure love serves Her. Even though he is destroyed by his senses, and even though he cannot directly see any of these pastimes, a person who in his heart meditates on this gopi becomes supremely fortunate.
Demain je parlerais de ce fameux joyau graiveya dont Sripad Das Goswami parle dans son Vilap Kusumanjali
