Rukmini's determination

[Guest guest]

O infallible and most beautiful one.

Those who hear about You, absorb through their ears Your name and fame.

Fixing Your form in their heart,

all their suffering departs.

 

I may be shameless in expressing myself so directly,

but after hearing of Your beauty,

which fulfils all desires of all those who see,

You have taken my heart, thus captivating me.

 

If that, which is meant for the lion to eat,

is taken away by the jackal as a treat.

Won't that be a most ludicrous affair?

Therefore lion amongst men please come here.

 

Hurry, please hurry, before Sisupala will dare.

Hurry, please hurry!

He intends to run off with that which is Your share.

 

My dear Lord,

If in my previous life I have done public welfare work or pious activities.

If Lord Narayana is pleased by these activities,

I pray that You will take my hand

instead of Sisupala and friends

 

I want You to be my husband and I dedicate my life

and if You will be my husband,

I'll be Your eternal servant and wife

 

As my marriage is already settled, the only way for me is to be Your wife is

that You come here and rescue me.

The best time for this would be when I'm going from the palace to the temple

or when I'm returning home.

I know that to obtain Your favour is not as easy, as even Lord Shiva has to

purify himself for this purpose,

therefore if it's not possible in this lifetime, I will observe severe

austerities and penance's life after life.

 

I want You to be my husband and I dedicate my life.

O if You would be my husband,

I'll be Your eternal servant and wife.

 

 

This is a song from my musical "Princess Rukmini"
