Fresh English translation

[The Hamīr song of ever-fresh rāsa continues:] Fresh smiling rasa fills the heart; Kṛpā, in supreme love, follows this fresh good fortune. (5) Today Sītā and her beloved fashion the rāsa circle. Joined as a couple and steeped in rasa, they steal the heart; the paired ones shine within rasa beyond ordinary bounds. (1) Refrain. Moving through many modes of feeling, the companions turn and sway; the sweet anklets pour out jhun-jhan rhythms. The two are adept in the boundless delight and awareness of rasa, shining in intimacy and supreme mutual contact. (2) Again and again the beloved takes the companions' self-offering; absorbed in rasa, the whole company shares the moment. Through mutual churning of embodied bliss, they gain the great good fortune of Kṛpā's company. (3) Tā-tā-theī-theī: the feet move and stamp, casting nets of rasa over the companions' bodies. A fresh blue-lotus body flashes beside a golden form; gold-bright beauty flashes again through every limb of the rāsa. (4) Wise Rāma takes up the vīṇā; hearing the dark beloved's song, the world is forgotten. Beauty surges through the limbs and grows—[the song continues on the next page].
