Fresh editorial translation from the GRETIL Bhāgavatapurāṇa TEI authority

The gopīs said: Because of Your birth, Vraja has become more glorious than every other place, and Indirā dwells here forever. Beloved, please reveal Yourself! Your own maidservants, who sustain their lives only for You, are searching for You in every direction.

Fresh editorial translation from the GRETIL Bhāgavatapurāṇa TEI authority

Lord of love, in the clear autumn lake Your glance steals the beauty from the inner whorl of the finest fully opened lotus. Bestower of blessings, we are Your unpaid maidservants. When You strike us with that glance, is it not a kind of killing?

Fresh editorial translation from the GRETIL Bhāgavatapurāṇa TEI authority

Foremost of heroes, again and again You have protected us from poisoned water, the serpent and the demon, from rain and wind, from lightning and fire, from the bull demon and the son of Maya, and from dangers on every side.

Fresh editorial translation from the GRETIL Bhāgavatapurāṇa TEI authority

You are certainly not merely the son who delights the gopī Yaśodā. You are the indwelling witness within every embodied being. Friend, at Brahmā's request You appeared in the Sātvata dynasty to protect the universe.

English translation

Fresh editorial translation from the GRETIL Bhāgavatapurāṇa TEI authority

Your lotus feet remove the sins of all embodied beings who bow to them. They follow the grazing cows, are the abode of Śrī and have rested upon the serpent's hoods. Place them upon our breasts and cut away the desire within our hearts.

Master, when You leave Vraja by day to graze the animals, we fear that stones, grass shoots and other sharp things cause pain to Your lotus-beautiful feet. Beloved, this thought throws our minds into turmoil.

Fresh editorial translation from the GRETIL Bhāgavatapurāṇa TEI authority

Acyuta, enchanted by Your song and knowing the meaning of Your summons, we have come near You after completely transgressing the claims of husbands, children, family lines, brothers and relatives. Deceiver, who would abandon women alone in the night?

English translation

Fresh editorial translation from the GRETIL Bhāgavatapurāṇa TEI authority

Beloved, Your lotus feet are so tender that we fearfully place them gently upon our harsh breasts. With those same feet You wander through the forest. Are they not hurt by pebbles and other sharp things? Our minds reel at the thought, for You are our very life.
