Radhe Kalaya Hrdayam Anukulam
AI-drafted translation — pending review
O Radhe, make your heart compassionate, for the very life and soul of Gokula is being torn apart, his heart struck by the arrow of your sidelong glance.
His flute, resting like a swan in his left lotus hand, once skilled in the fifth note, now keeps the vow of a silent sage, as if from the weight of despondency.
His forest garland, whose vast fragrance draws swarms of wandering bees, has slipped from his neck and now withers away in the forest.
His very body grows thin, all its playfulness abandoned; he, the eternal delight of every heart, wastes away in the shelter of a mountain cave.
About Radhe Kalaya Hrdayam Anukulam
Another Vidagdha-Madhava verse from Rupa Gosvami, spoken to Radha to describe Krsna's condition during her absence: his flute fallen silent as though observing a sage's vow, his forest garland wilting where it fell from his neck, his body wasting away. It belongs to the purva-raga genre of Vraja poetry, where a sakhi's description of the hero's suffering is meant to soften the heroine's hesitation.
