Bajata Ghana Ghana Benu
The flute plays again and again; amid the cowherds' cries of 'hai hai' and the loud 'hamba' lowing of the cows, all the cows graze, immersed in joy.
Surrounded by his wealth of cows, the joyful descendant of Yadu sports on the bank of the Yamuna; Dama, Sridama, Sudama, and mighty Balarama, together with the cowherd boys, form his heroic company.
Alike in age and dress, his hair beautifully adorned, a peacock feather and bright flowers crowning his head, a jewelled necklace and fresh, lovely gunja beads -- to see him bewilders the minds of all the world.
Bracelets and small drums, golden bells at his waist, anklets ringing softly -- in this way, every single day, Govinda Dasa's Lord sports with his companions in the fresh, dense forest.
About Bajata Ghana Ghana Benu
