kṛṣna-vanaṁ sakhi bhati sa-raṅgam
bhavatīm iva laghu netum adhīśam sevita-madhurasa-saṅgham
O friend, Kṛṣṇa's blissful forest has now come to quickly bring You to its charming king.
Hundreds of mādhvika vines blossom, as if yawning on first waking up. Their flowers kiss the bumblebees, reminding You of the meeting with Your lover Kṛṣṇa.
The sweet mango buds are like the forest's hairs standing up with joy. The cooing cuckoos seem to call You to enjoy amorous pastimes with Your lover.
The lavaṅga-scented breeze from the sandalwood forest shakes Your garment and draws You to the sounds of the flute, lute, and drum in Kṛṣṇa's springtime festival.
O Rādhā, as You approach, the waves of music from Kṛṣṇa's springtime festival sprinkle You with their pollen and make Your eyes gracefully dance like the beautiful eyes of a doe.
Attaining in this way the company of Your lover, to whom Your heart turns day and night, You gloriously shine, O incomparably beautiful one, on the shores of the Yamunā and Mānasa-gaṅgā.
