Aju Nava Syama Vinodini
Today Radha appears newly playful with dark Krishna, her whole body served by hundreds of Cupids; her loveliness cannot be described.
Defeating the orb of the autumn moon, her lotus face blossoms; the smile playing on her lips steals the heart of charming dark Krishna.
Bees swarm about her, having drunk their fill of honey from the bakula flowers she wears; all her ornaments make a soft, sweet jingling sound, and her waist-bells tinkle.
On her lotus feet, jewelled anklets echo the cry of the khanjana bird; her toenails, like Cupid's own mirror, dazzle. Govinda Dasa offers himself to her.
About Aju Nava Syama Vinodini
A short Bengali pada by Govinda Dasa Kaviraja that is a head-to-foot (nakha-shikha) description of Radha as she appears freshly playful with the dark-complexioned Krishna -- her beauty defeating the autumn moon, her smile stealing the mind, her anklets echoing the cry of the khanjana bird, and her toenails compared to jewelled mirrors reflecting Cupid's own face.
