Gaganahi Nimagana Dinamani Kanti
AI-drafted translation — pending review
The sun's brilliance has sunk from the sky; one can no longer tell whether it is day or night.
Such is the darkness cast by the clouds that no one can make out even a person standing close by.
The elephant-gaited one goes forth to meet Hari; her gait unrestrained, her eagerness spread wide.
On every side the restless wind sets the trees swaying; the whole world fills with swirling sheets of spray.
As the fair one moves along the town road, door after door, house after house, has already been shut.
When that woman met Hari in the forest bower, Govinda Dasa remained standing far, far away.
About Gaganahi Nimagana Dinamani Kanti
An abhisara pada by Govinda Dasa Kaviraja describing Radha's daring nocturnal journey to meet Krishna through a storm-dark night, using the swaying trees and driving rain as a mirror for her urgency; the poet's own voice closes the scene, withdrawing 'far, far away' once the lovers meet in the bower, in keeping with the genre's convention of the self-effacing witness.
