Madhava Parihara Me Patam
AI-drafted translation — pending review
O Madhava, let go of my garment; I am going swiftly to my home.
I am one whose wealth is the vow of pure chastity, my heart utterly stainless.
Why do you display this joke, unbefitting, one that no decent person would ever resort to?
If I had known you, your form so well hidden, were here on the riverbank...
...why would I have come near the daughter of the Sun at evening, from so far away?
I have made obeisance to you enough — now give up this perverse behavior.
Follow the eternal, proper path, cherished by the righteous.
About Madhava Parihara Me Patam
A short Sanskrit dialogue-verse by Rupa Goswami, likely drawn from one of his dramas, cast in the same short rhymed lines Jayadeva used in the Gita Govinda. It gives voice to Radha rebuffing Krishna's teasing at the riverbank, insisting on her chastity and telling him to walk the proper, righteous path instead.
