Suna Vrsabhanu Nandini Rai
AI-drafted translation — pending review
Listen, O Radha, daughter of Vrsabhanu — among the circle of young women you have kept your good name; that is well done indeed.
The son of Nanda, ornament among princes, a bed of delight for the eyes — when did he ever take up with you, that all his brilliance has since fled so far away?
Seeing you thus turn cold and indifferent toward him, he fell senseless; how could such cruel words come from a heart so merciless, piercing him like an arrow?
Your lover lies covered in dust, and it does not touch you at all; his face resting on his left palm, hanging low, he traces lines on the ground and weeps.
Whoever does not know the anguish shared between these two — know that person's heart to be without feeling. Heed these words, O Raya Ramacandra — thus says servant Govinda.
