Looking for some verses

[Guest guest]

We are working on a book and I am trying to find some verses that were

quoted in a lecture by our Guru Maharaja, Srila Gour Govinda Swami. I wonder

if anyone could kindly help. I have below given an approximate

transliteration based on what it sounded like he said. Following that is his

comments/translation of the verses.

 

======================

This first verse he said was from Padma Purana Patala-khanda:

 

gopi kaya batastrataha parikrdati sarvada

 

"In Vrindavan Krishna only plays with one gopi. That means He only plays

with Radharani."

======================

 

The next he said was from Jiva Goswami's Gopal Campu and is spoken by

Madhukanta:

 

imau gauri syamo manasi viparito bahirapi

 

"Radha and Syama are sitting on one, simhasana externally They are two, but

internally one."

======================

 

The next one is also likely to be from Jiva's Gopal Campu:

 

spura tata vastra viti budha jani niscitam idam

 

"Those who are budhas, pandits, say it should be understood by the garments.

What is that? Syamasundara's garment is a yellow garment. This indicates

that in the heart of Syama, tapta-kancana-gaurangi, Gaurangi, Radha is

there. Therefore His garment is yellow. And Radha's garment is a blue sari."

======================

 

I have both Padma Purana and Gopal Campu in Bengali/Sanskrit I just need the

references if anyone can find them.

 

Thank you very much.

I believe this is the verse quoted by Jiva in Krishna-sandarbha 189 and

attributed to the Yamala.

 

bhuja-dvaya-yutaù k

 

 

Purva 15.2

 

imau gauré-çyämau manasi viparétau bahir api

sphurat tat-tad-vasträv iti budha-janair niçcitam idam |

sa ko 'py accha-premä vilasad-ubhaya-sphürtikatayä

dadhan mürti-bhävaà påthag apåthag apy ävirudabhüt ||2

 

[v2] Wise persons have determined that

though these two are of a black and golden hue respectively,

in their minds they are of the opposite colour;

so externally, also, are their clothes.

 

This is some pure unblemished love become incarnate,

taking on a form with a dual manifestation --

both divided and a unity.

> gopi kaya batastrataha parikrdati sarvada

 

Sorry, I sent that last letter prematurely. Here is the full verse from the

Yamala --

 

bhuja-dvaya-yutaù kåñëo na kadäcic caturbhujaù |

gopyaikayä yutas tatra parikréòati sarvadä ||

 

Krishna appears in Vrindavan in a two armed form, never with four arms. He

sports there in the company of one gopi only.

 

Yours, Jagat
