Verse 18 : The beauty of Rajagopala Svaroopam

 

LEELAYASHTIM KARAKISALAYEH

DAKSHINEH NYASYA DHANYAAM

AMSEH DEVYAA: PULAKARUCHIREH

SANNIVISHTAANYA BAAHU : I

MEGASHYAMOH JAYATHI LALITHOH

MEGALAA DHATTHA VENU:

GUNJAAPEETA SPURITHA SIKUROH

GOPAKANYAA BHUJANGA: II

 

Lord Gopalan showing great affection for the Gopis

stands before them in resplendent attire .

He strikes a pose at that time

with his tender right hand holding the sheperd's

bent stick ;his left hand rests on the shoulder of

the beautiful Nappinnai ; that touch of Gopalan sends shivers of joy

over Nappinnai's body . That beautiful Gopalan has tucked his flute

inside his waist band and has additional decoration

in the form of a chain of Kunrimani beads

tied across his own dark hair pulled up in the form of a bun .

He shines with his dark blue hue, reminiscent of the clouds

in the rainy season and wins over the Gopis with his formidable

beauty . He roams around with great desire for union with Gopis.

 

Verse 19 : The Jala Kreeta of Gopalan

 

PRATYAALEETA STHITHIMADHIGATHAAM

PRAPTHAGAATAANGAPAALEEM

PASCHAADHEESHAN MILITHA NAYANAAM

PRAYASEEM PREKSHAMAANA: I

BHASTHRAA YANTRA PRANIHITA KAROH

BHAKTHAJEEVAATHURAVYAATH

VAARI KREETAA NIBITA VASANOH

VALLAVI VALLABOH NA: II

 

Gopalan desirous of performing water sports

with the Gopis tucked tightly his garments .He took

in his hands the water pump used in those sports.

He approached one of the Gopis , who was standing with one foot

forward in the water and the other planted backward on the land .,

He surprised her from behind and embraced her tightly .

That Gopi was overpowered by that delectable experience

and partially closed her eyes and looked at Gopalan with half-open eyes.

He returned her affectionate glances .Their eyes met. May that

Gopala engaged in water sports with the Gopis as their lover

protect us , since he is the medicine for his devotees suffering from

the afflictions of Samsaara .

 

Verse 20 : Krishna stealing the clothes of Gopis

 

VAASOH HRUTHVAA DINAKARA SUTHA

SAMNIDHAOU VALLAVEENAAM

LEELAASMEROH JAYATHI LALITHAAM

AASTHITHA: KUNTHASAAKHAAM I

SAVREETAABHI: TADHANU VASANEH

TAABHIRABHAYARTHYAMAANEH

KAAMI KASCHITH KARA KAMALAYOH:

ANJALIM YAACHAMAANA: II

 

On the banks of the Yamuna river shines the

Lord , who is seated on the bow of a Kunthaa

tree with a smile on his face . He is enjoying the prank that

he played on the unsuspecting Gopis , who had left their

clothes on the river bank and were engaged in taking

morning abolutions. He wanted to teach them a lesson for

breaking the rules of Sastras, which forbid one from

taking bath in the river without wearing a cloth . Gopalan

sneaked up on the crowd of Gopis deeply absorbed in

water sports and took all of their clothes and climbed up

the Kuntha tree and sat on one of its branch and waited for them

to come out of the water. The unaware Gopis completed their

water sports and abolutions and got out of the water and discovered

that there clothes were removed by the smiling Gopalan sitting on

the adjascent Pinnai (Kuntha) tree . Overcome by modesty , they rushed

back into the water and prayed to him to return their clothes.

He commanded them to come out of the water with folded hands

raised above their hands as a mark of atonement for the sin of breaking

the injunctions of Saastras . They had no choice , but to obey him to

regain their clothes. May that mischievous Gopalan fond of Gopis be victorious

!

 

verse 21 : Pala Sruthi of Gopala Vimsathi

 

ITHYANANYAMANASAA VINIRMITHAAM

VENKATESA KAVINAA STHUTHIM PATAN I

DIVYA VENU RASIKAM SAMEEKSHATEH

DAIVATHAM KIMAPI YOWATHA PRIYAM II

 

This stotram has been created by the poet

Venkatesa , who does not consider any God

other than Gopala/Naraayana .Those who read and

recite this eulogy will have the blessings of the Darsanam

of the God of incomparable beauty , Venugopalan ,

Who was the keen object of desire of youthful Gopis .
