Marakata Darapana Barana Ujora
His complexion is bright like an emerald mirror; to look upon each of his limbs is to be overwhelmed by Cupid himself.
I did not understand what his reddish eyes were saying; therefore the flower-arrowed god struck me with his arrows.
O sakhi, why did I meet the son of Nanda? My house has become a dense forest, and sandal paste has turned to fire.
At that very moment the southern breeze turned adverse; I cannot even bear to hear the name of the cooling moon.
On a natural bed spread with lotus petals, let the chaste young woman of good family go and take her place there.
There her mind remained fixed, her eyes held fast; patience and shame both fled far away.
What use is there in remaining alone with a troubled heart? Govinda Dasa says: go and meet Kanu.
About Marakata Darapana Barana Ujora
This Govinda Dasa Kaviraja pada compares Krishna's dark complexion to a polished emerald mirror, then turns to the disorienting effect of separation on the senses — sandal paste, normally cooling, burning like fire, and the gentle moon becoming unbearable to even hear named — before urging the listener simply to go and meet him.
