Kancana Yuthi Kusuma Lai Gori
O fair one, taking golden jasmine flowers, he carefully fashions an image of you, shaping it with great care.
Feeling your very presence in it, he embraces it — but so intense is his longing that this body of flowers burns to ashes from the heat within him.
Listen, listen, O daughter of King Vrishabhanu — Murari himself burns in the very fire of separation from you.
His limbs, like blue lotus petals, have withered; with waves of tears in his eyes he cannot see.
His flute lies fallen, cast far aside; every moment he is consumed, filled utterly with the burning fire of desire.
His peacock-feathered crown lies scattered and undone; meeting with his companions, his very life ebbs away.
His life remains now only in the hope of your love; at your feet, so speaks Govinda Dasa.
About Kancana Yuthi Kusuma Lai Gori
A Govinda Dasa Kaviraja pada built around the classic motif of a flower-fashioned image: a sakhi shapes Krishna's likeness from golden jasmine so Radha can embrace something of him in his absence, then turns to describe Krishna's own matching anguish — his flute cast aside, his crown undone, his very life clinging only to the hope of her love.
