Madhava No Abicara Kula Rama
AI-drafted translation — pending review
O Madhava, I, a woman of respectable family, have received no fair judgment from you; weeping in secret day and night, again and again I dwell on your qualities.
The golden-fair one used to play in Vrindavana joined with her companions; but now your sweet glance, sweet as poison, has burned her body — since that moment she has grown dark and wasted.
The elders unaware, the family simple-minded and unaware, this fierce disease unrecognized — what can jewels, mantras, or great medicines do, when her very eyes have already fallen into a trance?
Moment by moment her limbs twist and her body writhes, speaking delirious words; at the name of Syama she startles and her body trembles — Govinda Dasa asks, what do I know of this?
About Madhava No Abicara Kula Rama
A viraha pada in which Radha's love-sickness has grown so severe that neither her elders nor family can even recognize the disease, and no jewel, mantra, or medicine can treat it — only the sound of Krishna's own name causes her eyes to fall into a trance, a stock but effectively drawn image in Govinda Dasa Kaviraja's hand.
