Arūṇa Kamala Dale Śeṣa Bichāiba
When will I scatter red lotus petals before the charming youthful Divine Couple, whose lotus faces are nicely decorated with curling locks of hair, and who appear like a dark emerald accompanied by glittering gold?
O queen of my life, when will you place Your merciful glance upon me? When, directly hearing the orders of the Divine Couple, will I bring them various flowers and sweet candies?
When will I anoint the Divine Couple with tilaka markings made of musk and red sindura? When will I anoint Their bodies with sandalwood paste? When will I string a garland of jasmine flowers for Them, and then drive away the swarm of bumble-bees eager to claim the honey of those flowers?
When, on Lalita's order, will I gently fan the Divine Couple, banishing the perspiration from Their transcendental bodies? When, will I see the Divine Couple, my heart filling with spiritual bliss?
Narottama dasa hopes that some day he will be able to drink the sweet honey of the service of the lotus feet of the Divine Couple. Will that day ever be? I do not see any indication that I will become able to directly see the Divine Couple with my own eyes.
