Madhava Tohe Ki Sikhayaba Ana

mādhaba tohe ki śikhāyaba āna gorī ālāpi śyāma naṭa sañcaru aba tuhu bidagadha jāna
Translation

O Madhava, what more could I teach you? Conversing with the fair one, practicing your dark, artful moves — now you have truly become an expert in love.

muralī milita adhara naba-pallaba gāyata kata kata rāga kulabatī ho-i mandira choḍi āyalu sahite na pāri birāga
Translation

With the flute joined to your lips like a fresh new shoot, you sing so many melodies; though I am from a good family, I left my home and came — I cannot bear this separation.

muralī choḍi āchu madhura ālāpite saba jana nāhi āna kaṇṭhahi kaṇṭha meli abahi samujhiye yati ṛṇe hota suṭhāma
Translation

Set the flute aside now and speak only sweetly — no one else is here; join throat to throat, and understand at once what is truly good.

nirajana jāni hṛdaye aba dharabi aichana guṇabatī bhāṣa guṇijana-lāja aiche nāhi hoyata kahatahiṁ gobinda-dāsa
Translation

Knowing this place to be secluded, now hold me to your heart — so speaks this virtuous one; connoisseurs of love are never ashamed in such a way, says Govinda Dasa.

About Madhava Tohe Ki Sikhayaba Ana

Govinda Dasa Kaviraja voices Radha praising Krishna's mastery of love's arts even as she admits, in the same breath, that she has left home and reputation behind for him — the mix of admiration and quiet self-reproach typical of this poet's Radha.
