Guru Jana Nayana Bidhuntuda
AI-drafted translation — pending review
The moon is faint before the watchful eyes of the elders; she covers her own moon-like face with a dark blue wrap.
It is as though, in that night of dense, impenetrable darkness, the very lamp of Kamadeva were showing her the way.
The broad-hipped one sets out to meet Hari; her gait very slow, her eagerness spreading wide within her.
Trembling with the ache of longing, she takes only two or four steps at a time; the beautiful woman lets fall the playful lotus she carried in hand.
She has cast off the malati-flower garland from her hair, and let fall her jeweled necklace as well.
Overwhelmed and bewildered by the weight of this new passion, her ornaments now seem to reproach the very beauty of her full breasts by comparison.
Only her dark blue garment remains of all her attire; she has met him in the forest bower — so says Govinda Dasa.
About Guru Jana Nayana Bidhuntuda
A Govinda Dasa Kaviraja abhisara pada tracking Radha's night journey to Krishna almost step by step — moonlight dimmed before her elders' eyes, Kamadeva's own lamp lighting her path, flowers and jewelry falling away one by one as she goes, until only her dark cloak remains by the time she reaches the bower.
