Rādhe! Rahasya Gopana Lāgi

Niśānta-līlā, Part 2 — Pastimes at the End of Night

rādhe! rahasya gopana lāgi, vṛndā-devī anurāgī niyojive tabe nija jane vraje paśu-pakṣī sava, uccāribe nija rava nidrā-bhaṅge karibe yatana
Translation

O Rādhe! Vṛndā Devī is very devoted to this confidential secret and she will engage her own associates – all the animals and birds of Vraja will cry out with their own sounds and carefully endeavour to wake them from Their slumber.

śuka-śārī kari gana, kokila dharibe tāna jhaskāribe bhramarādi sabe nidrā-bhaṅga nā haile, kakkhaṭīra kolāhale jāgibe he rādhe kṛṣṇa tabe
Translation

The male and female parrots will start singing, the cuckoo will initiate a melody, and all the bumble bees will make humming sounds. If Their sleep is still not broken, then Kakkhaṭī (Rādhā’s female pet monkey) will create a commotion. Then Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa will awake.

duṅha rasālasa rūpa, heri pāba baḍa sukha kabe hāma mātaba sevāya diba surāsita jala, śrī-karpūra su-tāmbūla nūpura parāba seṅha pāya
Translation

Both of Them are feeling rested, and seeing this, I will attain great happiness. When will I be absorbed in the service of offering scented water, as well as beautiful betel leaves flavoured with wonderful camphor, and when will I tie ankle bells on Their feet?

śuniba śravaṇa bhari, rasodgāra su-mādhurī duṅhāra ārati daraśane ukhalibe sukha sindhu, o rādhe parāṇa-bandhu duṅhu mukha heri kṣaṇe kṣaṇe
Translation

With all my hearing faculty I will hear the most sweet emanations of rasa. Upon having darśana of Their ārati being performed, an ocean of bliss will gush forth. “O Rādhe! Friend of my very life, I see both of Your faces at every moment.”

About Rādhe! Rahasya Gopana Lāgi

Vṛndā Devī sends the birds and animals of Vraja to wake the Divine Couple; if the parrots, cuckoos and bees fail, Rādhā's pet monkey Kakkhaṭī finishes the job with her chatter. The maidservant then offers scented water, camphor betel and ankle bells.
