English translation

Translation

My dear girl with the fascinating eyes, even if I am attacked by many beautiful-eyebrowed girls who are expert archers with their restless, crooked sidelong glances, How can I find happiness for even a moment without You? I cannot. I am like the sky. Even if the moonlight and all the stars try to illuminate the sky, it never becomes really bright until it is filled with sunlight. In the same way it is not possible for Me to become bright with happiness without You.

Note: The word "vṛṣabhānuja" means both "sunlight" and "Rādhā, the daughter of Mahārāja Vṛṣabhānu". {,sy Śomabha" means both "star" and the gopī named Tarā". For this reason that last two lines of this stanza contain a hidden meaning. They may also be interpreted:

"Neither Candrāvalī, Tarā, nor their intimate friends can make Me happy without the presence of Rādhā, the beautiful daughter of Mahārāja Vṛṣabhānu."
