So Bahu Ballabha Sahaje-i Bhora
He, the lover of many, is by nature so heedless — how then will he ever come to know my pain?
I wish to go to him, yet my resolve breaks down; I cannot bear these surging waves of separation.
O sakhi, why did I spurn Kana? I did not know that my pride would burn me and then leave me.
Among all the sakhis, you are the wisest one — what clever counsel could I possibly teach you?
You know how deep my longing is; for this very reason I have offered my life at your feet.
Now you devise some plan, so that my union with Kanu may come free of all obstruction.
If, while still living, I am able to meet Kana, then Govinda dasa will sing your praises.
About So Bahu Ballabha Sahaje-i Bhora
A dialogue pada in which the heroine confides in her wise sakhi that Krishna, careless by nature, may never learn of her suffering, and that she cannot bear the waves of separation crashing over her. Rather than resolving into pure lament, Govinda dasa Kaviraja lets the heroine turn practical, asking her confidante to devise "some plan" for an unhindered union, a small piece of the go-between (duti) convention embedded within an otherwise interior song.
