3 versionsThis gorgeous boy is the darling child of Mother Śacī, dancing in the kīrtan of chanting Lord Hari's names. His forehead is adorned with drawings of sandalwood paste, and His enchanting locks of hair are shining splendrously as they bounce upon His cheeks.
His hair is wrapped in a topknot, and a garland of forest flowers sways upon His chest. Wearing brilliant yellow silken garments, He dances with ankle bells tinkling upon His feet.
Śrī Śrī Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa have become joined in one body, and together They play a flute within the grove of Nidhuvana. In this mood, the Lord of Viśvarūpa has come and manifested Himself in the town of Nadīyā.
Someone in that kīrtan sings the names of Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa, someone else sings songs of Lord Hari's transcendental qualities, while others play the auspicious rhythms of the sweet and relishable mṛdaṅga drums. All this takes place in that spectacular performance.
