English translation

The compassionate exclamations of Sriradha and the gopis by remembering Shri Krishna

Srinardji says - Rajan! Gopangana, who was pleased to hear this message of Lord Krishna, spoke to Udhava with a mattress around his neck, shedding tears. 1.

The Gopis of Golokavasini said, "Uddhav! Krishna left his former loved ones and went abroad, from there he also wrote Yoga. Ahhh! Look at the power of innocence. 2.

The dwarapalika gopikas said - "Sakhis! See, just as there is never love on the wheel of the moon, on the lotus of the sun, on the illusion of the lotus, and on the shadow of the cloud, similarly, Shyamsundara has no love for us. 3 | (Mathurukund Chapter 16 to 20)

The gopis who put on the makeup said, "Friends! Chakor is the friend of the moon, but his fate is always to chew the sparks of fire. What is written in the destiny of the lawgiver is never less. 4.

The cowherd gopis said, "Even the elder takes care of the deer by shooting at them with an arrow; but let no innocent remind him of them by wounding his loved ones with sarcasm - how surprising is that?" . 5.The council gopis said, "No one knows the pain of separation, no one else can ever understand it - just like the pain of someone who has a thorn in his limbs, who has never had a thorn before; who knows the pain of someone who has never had a thorn in his body?" . 6.

The Vrindavan-Palika gopis said - Only the Nishkama lover knows the happiness of Nishkama love. Whoever loves for a reason or desire will know the pleasures of pure love? Can the nervous system ever feel the juice? 7.

Govardhan-Vasini Gopis said that the one who loved the Purvanitas has now become the hero of Sairandhri (Kubja). What does he have to do with women living in mountains and forests? It is pointless to say more on this subject. 8.

The Kunjavidhayika gopis exclaimed, "Alas! Of the Madhavi Kunjas that we have always held dear to our eyes, this is the story we hear today, pervaded by the murmurs of religious delusions. 9.

The nikunjavasini gopis said, "In Vrindavan, we worship Nandanandana while wandering slowly with Balarama, Gwal-Bala, and Godhana in the Kadamba-Kunj on the Yamuna, a community of devout Bhramaras." 10.

"When will we have the same time as the Mathura-Purvasi women today?" said the gopis, who were part of the youth of Yamuna. Vrajangnao! Do not grieve. One is never always won or defeated. The Vidhata does not have the slightest pity in his heart; just as the child separates and mixes the toys, the Vidhata keeps all the ghosts united and separated. What used to be a kubdi today has become straight and even-limbed; what was a maidservant has become noble and what was ugly has shone brightly. Ahhh! Within four days, she has started beating her victory rings. 11-13 |

The gopis of Viraja-Yudha said - no one's arm is always on the shoulder of the beloved, no forest is always spring, no one is always young, even this Devaraja Indra does not always rule. Some may take it for four days, even if it is enough. 14 | (Mathurukund Chapter 16 to 20)

The gopis of Lalita-Yudha said - Manthara was also kubdi, which interrupted the coronation of Shriramchandraji in Ayodhyapuri. That is why it has come to Mathurapuri. The Gopikas What can't the dwarf do? . 15.

We cannot forget the gopis of Vishakha-Youth who go into the forest with their followers to graze cows and, on their way back, make the people of the town and village aware of their arrival through the Vamsinada and who imitate the movements of the elephants with their speed. 16.

The gopis of the Maya-youth said, "When will we take those Sri Harihars, who hold our reins in the narrow streets, who suddenly fill us with their arms and touch us with their hearts, who experience joy and fear in the midst of each other's strife, into our homes?" . 17.

The Ashtasakhi said, "Uddhav." Our eyes no longer want to look at the world by looking at those all-beautifull beauties. It is the same Nanda prince who has resided in Mathurapuri. Tell me quickly, what will happen to us now? . 18.

Both our ears no longer want to listen to worldly songs when we hear the melodious melody of the flute in the forest, and they sound as bitter as the crow's crow's crow's crow. 19.

Thirty-two sakhis said, "Your friend is subjugated with love, your enemy with righteousness, your greedy with wealth, your Brahmin with respect, your guru with repeated salutations, and your Rasika with passion; but how can one subjugate the innocent?" . 20.

The Srutirupa gopis said - those who, despite being in the state of awakening, are beyond them, and are truly Ahetu for this world, all these qualities are inspired and flowed towards their respective subjects; and just as the sparks from the fire do not re-enter it, so is the salutation to the Supreme Being, the Supreme Being of the senses, and the Supreme Being of the senses, to whom they do not enter. 21.

The sage Rupa Gopis said, "We take refuge in the nectar-like, supreme serene, pure, transcendent Purna Brahmana, whom even the strongest of the strong are unable to rule, whom even Maya cannot subdue, and whom even the Vedas cannot make the subject of their laws." 22.

The Gopis in the form of Devangana said: "We bow to the most perfect Lord Krishna, who is the partial, partial, art, impulse, and absolute incarnation of God, and from whom the creation, nurture, and destruction of this world take place, even beyond the Absolute. 23. (Mathurukund Chapter 16 to 20)

Yajnasitarupa Gopis said - These are the Kusumakar (spring) for the dark and beautiful Nikunjas-Latikas, the necklace that adorns the heart and neck of Sri Radha, the lord of Sri Raasamandala, the god of Vrajamandala, and the maintainer of the Mahimandala of all the universes. 24.

The gopis of Ramavaikunthavasini said, "We worship the infinite lila-luxurious Srishyamasundara, who adorned the entire Gopi Yuga, adorned Vrindavan and Giriraja Govardhan with his steps, and who appeared on this earth for the upliftment of the entire world, with arms as rich as Nagaraja's." 25.

The Sakhis of Svetadvipa said, "Just as a child picks up a dog without labor, and Gajraj picks up a lotus spontaneously with his trunk, similarly, Kripanidhan Srivrajarajanandan, who achieved miraculous beauty by lifting the mountain with one hand in a khelwad, never forgets us." 26.

The upper Vaikuntha gopis said, "Our dark-skinned eyes see the whole world as dark, they do not see duality; then what will they do with yoga?" . 27.

Folkloric gopis said that the reed of the reed is firm. He is never one to break down and cut. We cannot cut it off. No one else but Sriharike can do this. They are the only ones who, like the crocodile that bit the cobra, cut the snake and went to Mathura. 28.

The Ajitapadashrita Gopis said, "Both our eyes are fixed on Lord Krishna; even when he runs in ten directions, he cannot stand anywhere else, just as the lotus with which he is engaged, that illusion never goes to other flowers." 29.

The saints said, "People destroy fame by their bitterness, the rise of virtue by anger, wealth by malice, and friendship by deceitful conduct." 30.

Mithilavasini women said - protect oneself by giving money, save one's shame by giving one's body, and if necessary, give up all three - wealth, body, and shame - to accomplish the task of a friend. 31.

The gopis of the Kosala region said, "No one knows the state of separation without the soul, but he is unable to tell it." (Vani explains, but she does not feel the pain. ) Even if the heart is broken by an arrow strike, no one will ever suffer a love-sickness. 32.

The gopis of Ayodhya said, "First disappointed, then gave hope and went to the hope (direction) of their Mathura?" On top of that is written yoga for us. Ahhh! The image (or mind) of innocent people is strange. 33.

The Pulindi Gopis said, "In the past, Surpanakha in the Dandakavana came to them with great enthusiasm to make him her husband; but they forcibly made him ugly by inspiring Sumitra Kumar." How can you all expect such a man to be kind? . 34.

The Gopis said, "King Bali was a devotee of Bhagavad, truthful, and very charitable, but those who were angry with him by meeting and worshipping him, bound him, Srihariki, who was disguised as a deceitful celibate, how do Lakshmi or other devotees serve him?" . 35.

The Jalandhar gopis said, "In the past, the Asura Shrestha Bhaktapravara Kayadhukumar Prahlada had to suffer a lot, then he helped him by assuming the form of Nrusingha." Ahhh! The zenith of cruelty is evident in these. 36. (Mathurukund Chapter 16 to 20)

The landlords said, "Oh! The character of a very innocent man is very strange, he is not worth saying. Another word will come out of the mouth, but another thought will remain in the heart. Such people cannot be understood even by the gods, then how can humans know? . 37.

Thus was completed the seventeenth chapter of the Narada Bahulashva-Samvad under Srimadhurakhanda in the Srigarghasamhita, the "Vachanas of the Gopis in the Memory of Krishna." 17.
