Lover's Life - Srimad Bhagavatam 10.31.11 and19

[Guest guest]

Jaya Sri Radhey! Namaste.

Two sublime verses from 'Gopi Gita':

 

calasi yad vrajAc cArayan pazUn

nalina-sundaraM nAtha te padam

zila-tRNAGkuraiH sIdatIti naH

kalilatAM manaH kAnta gacchati

 

"O Beloved Lord! How miserable we were

when we thought of You running bare-footed

with Your tender feet bleeding from

the pricks of hard rocks and thorns

while taking out the cows for grazing!"

 

(X-31-11)

 

yat te sujAta-caraNAmburuhaM staneSu

bhItAH zanaiH priya dadhImahi karkazeSu

tenATavIm aTasi tad vyathate na kiM svit

kUrpAdibhir bhramati dhIr bhavad-AyuSAM naH || X-31-19||

 

"O Priya (Divine Beloved), You alone are

the precious life of our existence!

In anxiety for not to hurt Your tender lotus-feet,

we place them gently on our hardened breasts.

When You wander in the rough forest paths bare-footed,

our minds become agitated, as Your tender feet

are pricked by sharp stones and thorns! "

 

Jaya Sri Radhey!
