Rādhe! Cala Tomā Duṅhe Hindole Vasāñā

Madhyāhna-līlā, Part 2 — Afternoon Pastimes

rādhe! cala tomā duṅhe, hindole vasāñā dolaba yatane sabe se śobhā dekhiyā, ānande mātiyā anaṅga-mañjarī tabe jaya rādhe bali, kumkum kasturī kṛṣṇe picakārī dibe lañā picakārī, dekhibena hari śeṣe parābhāva habe
Translation

Rādhe! Both of You please come and sit on a swing, and all of us will carefully swing You. Seeing such beauty, we will be absorbed in bliss. Then Anaṅga Mañjarī, will say “Jaya Rādhe!” and give a syringe to Kṛṣṇa filled with scented colour and musk. Seeing that syringe, Hari will take it but eventually He will be defeated.

vaneśvarī rādhe, tomāra koṭāla āmi ei vane rai ihā bali hari, vinaya kariyā dāṅḍābe koṭāla haī
Translation

“Rādhe is the Mistress of this forest! I will remain in this forest as Your sentry.” Saying this with humility, Hari will stand guard.

se līlā para, preme svīya vakṣe kṛṣṇe tali labe tumi lalitā viśākhā, sahāya haibe vidhikarī raba āmi
Translation

After that pastime, You will take Kṛṣṇa beneath You with divine love to Your chest. Lalitā and Viśākhā will assist, and I will stay following the proper etiquette.
