Sunur Adbhuta Sundaro Jani
O King Nanda, this wondrously beautiful son of yours has been born; grant to the cowherd folk the gift befitting this festival, just as they desire.
O Lord of Vraja, the assembly of brahmanas has already been satisfied with ornaments and cows given as gifts; please quickly satisfy singers like me as well.
The heart of one like me, delighting in the moment of seeing your son, desires only this wealth, which no petitioner has ever obtained.
May the love of people like me remain forever here on your child, the dark swan sporting in the lake of Sri Sanatana's heart.
About Sunur Adbhuta Sundaro Jani
Sung in the voice of a brahmana-poet at Nanda Maharaja's court celebrating the birth of his 'wondrously beautiful son,' this verse asks for the customary festival gifts, then admits that the real treasure is simply a moment's darsana of the child, which no gift can buy. Like several of Rupa Gosvami's short devotional verses, it closes with a line naming Sanatana Gosvami, Rupa's elder brother among the six Gosvamis of Vrndavana.
