Yugala
Geetham
The
song of
separation of one from the other
(Chapter 35 of
Dasama Skandam of
BHagawatham)
Introduction
BY
Gauranga Darshan Das
“The gopis felt separation from Krsna during the day when
He went to tend His cows in the forest. As Krsna played His flute to announce
His coming to the trees, creepers, birds and beasts suffering in separation,
the gopis’ love increased on hearing that sound. In separation, they sang about
Krsna’s transcendental pastimes, in the form of the Yugala-gita, consisting of
twelve pairs of verses sung at various times as they stood in small groups here
and there in Vrndavana. Among the groups some are present in front of Mother
Yasoda also. As their mood of separation became ever more intense, Krsna’s
names, forms, qualities and pastimes began spontaneously manifesting in their
hearts. Thus they sang as follows: “The beauty of Krsna attracts the minds of
all. When He stands in His threefold-bending form and plays upon His flute, the
Siddhas become attracted to Him. The bulls, cows and other animals become
stunned in ecstasy like figures in a painting. Rivers stop flowing. When Krsna
calls the cows’ names by blowing on His flute, even the trees and creepers
display eruptions and their sap pours down like a torrent of tears. Krsna’s
flute causes the birds to close their eyes in meditation and the clouds in the
sky to gently rumble. Even great authorities like Indra, Siva and Brahma become
astonished to hear such music. We gopis are anxious to offer everything we have
to Krsna. When Krsna returns to Vraja, He plays His flute while His young
companions chant His glories.” (quoted from
vidhyapita.in .Thanks to the web site)

When Krishna plays
the flute, kept on his lips, touches
its holes with his delicate fingers,
With his left
cheeks inclined towards his left arm, Oh cow herd
women,
The Sidha women flying with their husbands on the sky
are greatly surprised,
And blush to find their mind made a victim
of the arrows of the god of love.

Please hear about the wonderful thing, oh tender ladies, when the son of Nanda.
Whose chest is decorated
by pearl necklaces
and Goddess Lakshmi, plays his
flute,and
The herds of bulls
and cows and the deer of Vrija
stand with
erect ears and with grass,
Put in their
mouth not moving at all and appear as if they are asleep with a painted mind due to his music.

When the
Krishna who liberates .dresses himself like a wrestler with head
decorated by peacock feathers.
And tender leaves
and paints himself in various colours
and calls his cows by their
given names,
The flow of the rivers get stopped
, and their waves appear as if
they have opened their arms ,
To Embrace this
lord , but they get stilled by his feet, like us who are
not able to hug him
by our arms.

Just like devas sing
about the primeval God who is owner of
endless wealth and is endless,
The cowherds who roam about the
paths of mountain,. sing about him
who plays the flute and calls his cows,
And at that time
the trees and creepers of the
forest, bent by the fruits and flowers
they produce,
Start touching the earth and appear to be saluting Krishna but
by that they get happy and once again become erect
with laden fruits.

Among all those
things that can be seen in the
world is Krishna wearing forest garland
with smell of thulasi and mark on
his forehead with sandal,
Who sings music
sweeter than honey on his flute which is
put
on his lips , which fulfills all our desires,
And Sri Hari is approached
by cranes , swans
and other birds living on the lake, captivated by his music,
Completely stunned
by his music , with their
eyes closed and observing
complete silence.

Oh beauties of
Vruja, When our Krishna along with Bala, wearing a flowery ear -
stud, stands on Summit of Govardhan,
Fills the universe with the music of his flute , which embraces the entire
universe,
The cloud makes
pretty sound keeping time with his
music and being scared of showing disrespect to him,
Covers his friend , with a continuous spray of flowers and also makes an umbrella to cover his shadow,

Oh Yasodha when
your son Krishna placing the flute on his ruddy red lips, an expert in games,
Played by the gopas,
Brings out varied original
tunes in the music of flute and varied musical
notes,
And gods lead by
lord shiva , Brahma and indra
listen to it again and again,
With a bent neck
and are unable to find its subtleties, though they are learned become confused.

On his lotus like
feet are the pretty
signs
of flag , Vajrayyudh , lotus
and goad and to compensate,
The hurt caused to
its land by the running hooves
of the cattle, he walks ,
With his lotus like
soft feet , like an
elephant taking very slow foot steps and keeps playing his
flute,
And these as
well as his amorous glances rekindled love among us,
Taking us to an
insensitive state of not wearing our dress
properly, though he does not
realize it.

With heavy garland
of pearls on his neck and having applied
with sandal and thulasi paste,
When he counts
the cows with the colour of the gem garland it wears and puts
his hand on neck of his loving follower,
And then when he
sings on his flute, the she deers who are companions of black bucks,
Continue to be
with sRi Krishna and he himself has abandoned the gopis who have lost all hope of returning home in time

Oh queen of Nanda
, when your darling Krishna wearing jasmine bud garland with
attractive Gopas and Gandharwas,
Plays in the shores of Yamuna along with his cows
as well as cow herd boys, at that time,
The southern breeze
wafting with smell of
sandal serves your boy
and Gandharwas ,
And other devas sing the
instrumental music to please him
and give him various offerings.

The darling of Vraja must be very fond of his cows as
he lifted the mountain for protecting them,
And now he must be returning with all
the cows but though it is evening

Possibly on the

like Brahma and Shiva,
His glory being
sung by his devotees and His garland
covered by dust raised by the hoofs
of the cattle.

The Lord of Yadhus adorned with garland of forest flowers, with his eyes slightly raised up due to emotion,
With the golden
ear studs throwing luster on his shiny cheeks , which are also
slightly reddish,
Is bidding
farewell to his close friends
the gopa boys by honoring them and along
with his cows,
Is coming towards
us , so that he can stifle the pain
of absence of love in us from
him with his moon like looks.
