Varaya Madhavam Udyad Anangam
O friend, restrain Madhava, his face beaming with joy, so that he may not touch my body.
Why does he cast these rippling glances at me? Truly, the white night-lotus does not turn toward the sun.
The clove falls from my trembling hand — yet even so, you too do not give up your amusement.
I shall never abandon this eternal, unbreakable dharma, which my heart has embraced.
About Varaya Madhavam Udyad Anangam
A short Sanskrit lyric by Rupa Goswami cast in the purva-raga mood: a Vraja gopi asks her friend to hold back the joyously approaching Madhava, only to admit, by the final verse, that she cannot truly give up the bond her own heart has already formed with him.
