अथ अवकाश ३ ॥ रोला छन्द ॥ सुनहु वेद निर्भेद धाम गुन तीत परम शुचि । ब्रह्माश्रम सुख दुःख तहाँ नहि पाप पुण्य रुचि । अति निर्मल निर्वान परमपद महाचयन पुर । महा दिव्य अति अचल अगम है ब्रह्मादिक सुर ॥१॥ महा प्रकृति पर विरज एक रस द्वैत नाश तहँ । चातक रसिक अनेक मेघ पुर बुंद रास जहाँ । पुर अनन्त विस्तार उच्च सोइ द्वार चारि वर । महा महा मनि जटित अमित जनु द्वार द्वार पर ॥२॥ कंचन महि मनि जटित रंग बहु भिन्न भिन्नारुत । अंकित चरण गोविन्द वृन्द कुलिशादि चिन्हयुत । सदन अनेक विचित्र मदन जनु चित्रकार बहु । रतनहूग बहु लगे नवग्रह कला सार बहु ॥३॥ सखन केर सब भवन जवन नहिं गवन करत जग । वधु किशोर चित चोर छनक नहि तजत ईश लग । निर्मल अगर कपूर मलय कुंकुम की कीचें । प्रभु की विहर निहार वनी कुंजन विच वीचें ॥४॥ वन अगुनत नहि बने परव प्रति कोटि अमर तरू । सदा सनातन भार फूल फल परतव रस परु

Section three begins, in rolā meter. (1) Listen, O Vedas, to the undivided abode beyond the guṇas, supremely pure. There is neither pleasure nor pain, no taste for merit or sin. It is utterly stainless nirvāṇa, the highest station, the great chosen city—supremely divine, unwavering, and inaccessible even to Brahmā and the gods. (2) Beyond great Prakṛti and Virajā, it is one rasa where duality is destroyed. Countless rasika cātaka-birds drink the drops raining from its cloud-like city. The city extends infinitely and rises without limit; it has four splendid gates, each seemingly attended by immeasurable, mighty jewel-inlaid portals. (3) Its golden earth is set with jewels in many distinct colors and sounds. Govinda's footprints are impressed there with the thunderbolt and other auspicious marks. Its many wondrous mansions seem painted by Love himself; countless clusters of gems embody the arts of the nine planets. (4) All are dwellings of companions, unlike any movement found in the world. The youthful bride and bridegroom, thieves of the heart, do not leave it even for an instant. Pure agarwood, camphor, sandal, saffron, and fragrant pastes fill the groves through which one beholds the Lord's play. The final stanza begins to describe innumerable forests and crores of immortal trees perpetually laden with flowers, fruit, and rasa.
