Job Koru Kheli Ali Saiya Bala
As the young girl was playing with her companions, I saw on the path what seemed to be a garland of moons; her matchless beauty clung to my eyes, and its sweetness awakens again and again within my heart.
O friend, O friend, seeing me, Rai stood there smiling, turning her neck; her face glimmered with a spotless light, on her nose swayed a pearl ornament.
When her colorful braid spread across her back, my mind was startled, my gaze caught at once; never have I seen a woman so beautifully tressed — her very image remains etched now upon my heart.
The beauty of the lac-dye upon her toenails and toes, ten moons with the red of dawn, awakens great longing; when will I be granted permission to serve those very lotus feet in my heart? — thus prays Govinda Dasa.
About Job Koru Kheli Ali Saiya Bala
A rupa-varnana pada by Govinda Dasa Kaviraja, spoken by a sakhi struck at the very sight of a beautiful figure on the path, that turns by its final verse into the poet's own direct prayer for permission to serve those same lotus feet in his heart — a device typical of Govinda Dasa, folding his personal devotional aspiration into what begins as an admiring description of Radha's beauty.
