English translation

Praise of Lord Krishna through Gopanganas; the Lord's appearance among them; narrating the story of the emanation of the swans when asked by them; and making the Gopis see the Narayana-forms of Kshirsagar-Shvetadvipa.

Srinardji says - Rajan! Subsequently, all the Vrajanganas came together to sing the graceful virtues of Sri Hari, accompanied by a beautiful rhythmic melody, to invoke the good fortune of Lord Krishna. 1.

The Gopis said, "Lokasundara! Janabhushan! The Light of the World! Madan Mohan! And He who takes away the sins and the sufferings of the world! Anandakanda Yadunandan! Nandanandan The nectar on your forehead is also very pure, I salute you again and again. The victory flag of cows, Brahmins and saints! Devvandya and Kansadi, who incarnate for the slaying of demons! Dharan Sreenandaraj - Kul - Kamal - Diwakar! The primordial cause of the gods and goddesses too! Free-Janadarpan! Hail to you. Gopavamsa, the embodiment of the radiant pearl in the ocean! Gopalakulroopi Giriraj Ke Nilralal! Oh dear God! The exuberant lotus of the Gopalmandal lake! And the chief Kalans of the sandalwood grove in the form of Gopa Vrinda! Hail to you. Dear Shyam Sunder! You are Madhupa, who drinks the nectar of Mukharavinda of Sridhya; Chakor, the savior of Sudhamayi Chandrika of Mukhachandra of Sridhara; Chandrahara, who is electrifying on the thorax of Sridhara; and Kusumakar (Rituraja Vasanta), the wife of Sridharadhikari, for Madhavilata. May the dark and beautiful Sri Hari, who manifests in the Raas-Rangasthali with her splendor (lila-shakti), the radiance of the eyes of the Gopanganas and the essence of life, appear before our eyes. We worship Nandanandana Madhava, who has adorned all the youth of the Gopikas, the lands of Srivrindavan, and Giriraja Govardhan with his foot-dust, who has appeared on the ground floor for the emergence and sustenance of the entire universe; whose radiance is very dark, and whose arms are adorned like the body of Nagaraja. Prannath. To all of us Gopis suffering from separation without you, the moon seems as fiery as the rays of the sun. This entire forest area, which was once a center of happiness, now feels as if we have entered the Asipatra forest and the very slow-moving air feels like an arrow to us. Green! Queen Damayanti suffered a thousand times as much from the separation of her husband as Queen Madayanti from King Saudas. Sita, the husband and wife of Janakanandini, suffered many times more than this, and today we are all suffering infinitely more than that. 2 - 9. (Vrindavan Khand Chapter 21 to 26)

Srinardji says - Rajan! Thus, in the midst of the weeping Gopanganas, Kamalanayana Krishna suddenly appeared, as if he had found his intended purpose. They had crowns on their heads, keyurs and angads in their arms, and ornaments called kundals in their ears. The smooth, serene, fragrant, blue, curly hairstyle captivated me. Seeing them, all the celestial bodies stood up together, as if the senses were suddenly awakened by the sight of a group of subtle ghosts like Shabd, the king! In the middle of those gopasundaris, along with Radha, Shyamsundara Krishna, playing the flute, began to dance as if Murti was dancing with Kama. The more numerous all the gopis were, the more form Shrihari took to raas-vihara with them - just as the mind was playing with states of awakening and so on. At that time, in that forest land, Vrajangana, who was sorrowful, spoke in a loud voice with folded hands to Shyamsundara Krishna, who was standing there. 10-15 |

The Gopis asked, "Shyamsundar! Where did you go, leaving behind this great community of gopis, who have sacrificed their body, mind, and soul to your footprints, abandoning the whole world like you? . 16.

The Gopis said, "Madhava! If you are pleased with us, show us the form you took on the rest of the bed in the Kshirsagar. 24.

Sreenaradji says, "Then, by saying 'Tathastu', the Lord became Narayana with eight arms while Radha became Lakshmi." It was there that Kshirsagar, covered in fickle waves, appeared. The divine gemstone Mangalarupa palaces began to appear. At the same time, white Sheshnag kundalis resembling Kamalnala were seen tied up, adorned with a bright thousand-pane canopies resembling Balsurya. On the rest of the bed, Madhava slept soundly, and Lakshmi-Rupa-Dharini Sriradha began to serve to suppress his steps. The gopis bowed at the sight of the beautiful form, radiant like millions of suns, and they were all amazed. Maithil! Where Lord Krishna appeared to the gopis in this form, it became the most virtuous sin-killing realm. 25-30 | (Vrindavan Khand Chapter 21 to 26)

Subsequently, Madhav along with Gopanganas came to the banks of the Yamuna and started swimming in the swift current of Kalindi. With a lotus in his hand and a sheet in his hand, Madhav ran into the water and laughed and walked away. Then Sriradha also went to the Yamuna water laughing with her shiny Pitambar, Vamsi and cane. Now Mahatma Shri Krishna asked him and said - 'Radhe! Give me my flute. 'Sriradha began to say - 'Madhav! Give me back my lotus and clothes. "Lord Krishna gave lotus and clothes to Sriradha. Then Sriradhana also returned Vamsi, Pitambar and Cane to Mahatma Krishna. Thereafter, Sri Krishna went to Bhandiravan wearing ajanu-lambini (hanging from the knee) vaijayanti garland, singing melodious songs. There, Chatur-Chudamani Shyamsundar adorned Priya. The spears and foreheads were decorated with leaf designs, the feet adorned with mahavars, garlands of flowers, the braid was also decorated with flowers, a kumkumki bandhi was applied on the forehead, and kajal was applied to the eyes. Similarly, Kirtinandini Sriradhana also created a beautiful letter on the face of Sriharika like sandalwood, agaru, musk, and saffron in that beauty spot. 31-38 |

Thus was completed the twenty-second chapter called 'Rasa-Krida' under the Vrindavan Khanda in the Srigargha-Samhita. 22.
