The swing that enters devotees’ hearts

Unit 23 of 28 · printed source page 17

Original · Devanagari

सावन सौख में नेह निकुंज पुर स्याली के संग अनुकूलें। भावको भौर बिस्वासको बेलन मंडित डाँडी झडोलता झूलें॥ प्यार पटा रसरंगमनी रस रसमें कीरसी गहि झूलें। भाई हिंडोर मुदामय्याम उदारक संतनके हिय भूलें॥ २३ ॥

Fresh English translation

In Savan’s happiness, love’s bower-city is made welcoming by the companions. Feeling is its circling bee and trust its flowering vine, ornamenting the pole as the swing sways. Love itself is the seat; Rasarangmani sees the Couple take hold and swing in rasa. This joy-filled, generous swing enters and absorbs the hearts of the saints.
