Sajani Eta Dine Bhangala Dwandwa
O friend, after so many days the struggle has broken; the serpent of love for Kanu has swallowed the wretched frog of family honor, and it dies.
In the temple of my heart, Kanu has fallen asleep; let the sentinel of love keep watch; my elders and the townsfolk have become like thieves -- let them flee far, far away.
I myself cannot understand my own conduct; meaning to do one thing, another happens; my mind, full of that feeling, deceives my own kinsfolk -- even my husband and his other wife remain unaware.
Even blame -- my eyes no longer take notice of it; I do not know what has become of my own eyes; this intoxication that has come upon me cannot be put into words; Govinda Dasa alone is my companion.
About Sajani Eta Dine Bhangala Dwandwa
Govinda Dasa Kaviraja here gives voice to a nayika so consumed by prema for Krishna that she can no longer explain her own behavior, using the vivid image of love as a serpent that has swallowed the frog of family honor and reputation; she grows indifferent even to blame, ending, as is customary in his padas, with his own name as her sole companion in this state.
