Rādhe! Madhu Pāna Chale Kata Ye Khelibe
Madhyāhna-līlā, Part 4 — Afternoon Pastimes
Rādhe! On the pretext of drinking honey, You engage in so many kinds of play, taking that Holder of the flute with You. The more the sakhīs become engrossed in that bliss, the more intense it becomes.
You will worship Hari in the form of Sun-god with great care. Going to the temple of that Sun-god, You will neglect Your opponents. Then all of us will be immersed in bliss, O Rāi.
Seeing the day is coming to an end, I will return to my own home. All of us will sing the Name of Kṛṣṇa with a happy smiling countenance.
Kṛṣṇa will gather all the cowherd boys together, and sportingly play His flute. He will go towards the pasturing grounds, continuously playing along with His elder brother Balarāma.
About Rādhe! Madhu Pāna Chale Kata Ye Khelibe
The last surviving song: honey-drinking play, Rādhā's worship of Hari in the form of the sun-god at the Sūrya temple, the walk home singing Kṛṣṇa's names, and Kṛṣṇa gathering the herd with His flute. Here the text breaks off.
