Gotha Bijayi Braja Raja Kisora
The young prince of Vraja sets out for the pastures, in radiant attire arranged by his own mother.
Ahead of him walk countless herds of cattle, wealth beyond counting; behind him come the boys of Vraja, calling out joyfully, "Hai! Hai!"
Dressed alike and matched in age, all moving to the same rhythm, Balarama walks at the left side of the moon-like dark one.
A peacock feather glitters upon his crown, and jeweled earrings sway and sparkle at his ears.
Upon his head, the moon of that feather; upon his lips, the flute; as he walks the path he makes so many playful, teasing gestures.
A yellow silken cloth fastened at his waist, he walks with a slow, swaying gait that surpasses even the finest elephant's.
His jeweled anklets ring out with a tinkling sound — Govinda Dasa exclaims, again and again, "How blessed, how blessed is this sight!"
About Gotha Bijayi Braja Raja Kisora
A Govinda Dasa Kaviraja pada picturing young Krishna's triumphant return from the pastures at dusk — cattle streaming ahead of him, the boys of Vraja shouting behind, Balarama walking at his side — building its portrait purely from ornament and gait, peacock feather, flute, anklets, an unhurried sway surpassing even the finest elephant, until the poet himself breaks into the refrain, 'how blessed, how blessed.'
