Guest guest Posted October 24, 1999 Report Share Posted October 24, 1999 The reference I know of is in Gita-mala, a songbook of 80 Bengali songs, published by Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur in 1893. The whole text you can d/l from the file area (gitamala.zip, cca 84 kB). (46) sri-rupa-manjari-pada, sire dhori' su-sampada, kamala-manjari kore asa sri-godruma-braja-bane, dunhu-lila-sandarsane, purna hao raser pipasa Holding upon her head her most treasured possesion (the lotus feet of Sri Rupa Manjari), this Kamala Manjari hopes that by thus observing Their eternal pastimes going on within this transcendental forest of Vraja at Godruma, Navadvipa, then her craving thirst for such mellows will finally be quenched. THUS ENDS THE SECOND CHAPTER OF "GITA-MALA," entitled "KARPANYA PANJIKA (Diary of Humble Selfishness for Service), by Srila Saccidananda Bhaktivinoda Thakura and further on: CHAPTER FIVE "SIDDHI - LALASA" SONG 8: SIDDHA-DEHA (1) barane tarit, basa tarabali, kamala manjari nama sare bara barsa, bayasa satata, swananda-sukhada-dhama This maidservant has a complexion just like lightning, and she is wearing a sari which has star like decorations all over it. My name is Kamala Manjari. Eternally appearing to be only twelve-and-a-half years of age, I always live within the abode of Svananda-sukhada-kunja.
