Gopya Ouchu
Gopis told
Akshanvathaam phalamidham, na param vidhaamaa,
Sakhya pasoonanu vivesayathor vayasyai,
Vakthram vrujesa suthayor anu venu jushtam,
Yairvaa nibheedamanuraktha kadaksha moksham 7
The result of having eyes is that nothing can be more divine than feasting,
On Lord Krishna and his brother moving with the friends of their age,
Who are feasting their eyes on them playing their flute,
Along with great love , with the aim of getting salvation by their sight.
Chootha pravala sthabako th phalabja-,
Malanupruktha paridhaana vichithra veshou,
Madhye virejarathulam pasu pala goshtyaam,
Range yadhaa natavarou kka cha gaayamaanou . 8
Dressed with tender mango leaves, peacock feathers,
,Bunches of flowers, a pair of lilies and lotus flower,
And wearing garlands those two brothers,
Looked more prettier than singing actors on the stage.
Gopya kimacharadhayam kusalam sma venu,
Damodharaa sudhaamapi gopikaanaam,
Bungthe swayam yadhavasishta rasam m hrudhinyo,
Hrushya thwachoaasru mumuchusthravo yadhaa ryaa. 9
Oh Gopis what a great act has this performed, due to which,
It is able to enjoy to its heart content, the nectar flowing from lips,
Of The boy who was tied by a rope on his belly, which has only,
Sweetness left behind by Gopis
Vrundhavanam sakhi bhuvo vithanothi keerthi
Yaddevaki sutha padambhuja labdha Lakshmi
Govinda venu manu matha mayura nruthyam
Prekshayaadhrisaanvavarathaa anya samastha sathvam 10
Oh friend, Vrindavana is spreading the fame of earth
Due to getting the wealth of the lotus feet of son of devaki
And the peacocks hearing the music of the flute , dance in ecstacy
And all other beings seeing it from the hill top get stunned
Dhanyaa sma mooda mathayopi harinya yethaa
Ya nanda nandana mupaththa vichithra vesham
Aakarnya venuranitham saha Krishna saaraa
Poojaam dhadhur virachithaam pranayaava lokai 11
Those deers with foolish brains are blessed
For they have seen the son of nanda in a peculiar dress
Attracting them by his music of flute and all of them
Worship the Lord Krishna with a look of love and affection
Krishna nireekshya vanithothsava roopa seelam
Sruthwaa cha thath kkanitha venu viviktha geeetham
Devyo vimana gathaya smaranunnasaaraa
Bhrasyath prasoonu kabaraa mumuhurvaneevya 12
Seeing krishna’s form and conduct, the ladies start celebrating
And the ladies of heaven travelling on planes see and hear
His divine flute get their hearts shaken by god of love
And their belts become loose and flowers from their head fall
Gaavascha Krishna mukha nirgatha venu geetha
Peeyusham uthabhitha karna putai pibanya
Shaavaa srutha sthana paya kavalaa sma thasthu
Govindathmani drusaasrukalaa sprusanya 13
The cows hearing the music of flute coming out of flute of Krishna
Lift their ears up and drink that great music
And the calves which were drinking milk from their nipples
Stand still and embrace him to their hearts through their tear filled eyes
Praayo bathamba vihagaa munayo vanesmin
Krishnokshitham thadhudhitham kala venu geetham
Aaruhya ye drumabhujaan ruchira pravaalaan
Srunvanthi meelitha druso vigathaanya vaachaa 14
Oh mother, almost all birds of the forest have risen up to the pretty branches
To see Krishna with their closed eyes and hear the sweet vibrations of the music
Which is flowing from his sweet hands and the taste flowing from it
And do not any other sound of the forest and are mesmerized by it
Nadhyasthadhaa thadhupadhaarya Mukunda geetham
Aavartha lakshitha mano bhava bhagna vegaa
Aalinganasthagitha moormi bhujai murare
Grahanthi pada yugalam kamalopahaaraa 15
And the rivers when the hear the music of Krishna
They get attracted much and their speedy waves break
And they embrace him with the arms of their waves,
And catch hold of twin feet of Krishna and give him a present of lotus flowers
Dhrushtwa thape vruja pasoon saha saama gopair
Sancharayantha manu venumudhirayantham
Prema pravrudha udhitha kusumavalibhi
Sakhyayuryadhathsava vapusha ambudha adha pathram 16
We see him along with cows of Brindavan , Balarama and gopa boys
WAliking and creating vibrations of music by his flute under the hot sun
And due to intense love for him, the dark clouds of the sky
Pour its flower like drops and create an umbrella for his friend
Poornaa pulindhya uroo gaaya padhabja raga
Sri kumkumena dhayitha sthana mandithena
Thaddharsanasmararujasthrunaarooshithena
Limpanthya aanana kucheshujahusthathaadheem 17
The tribal women get disturbed to see marks of his lotus like feet
Leaving red marks of Kumkum on the grass, feel that they were,
Once coating the breasts of his beloveds and they smear it
On their faces and breasts and give away all their anxiety
Hanthaaya madrir abalaa hari dasa varyo
Yadh Rama Krishna sparsa pramodha
Maanam thanothi saha goganayosthayoryath
Paaneeya soya vasakandhara kandha moolai 18
Among all his devotees the govardhana is the best
For it has been touched by lotus fet of the great Rama and Krishna
And has been supplying water for drinking , soft grass and all needs
To them as well as , cows, calves and cowherds and appears very happy
Gaa gopakair anu vanam nayathorudhaara
Venu swanai kalapadhai sthanabruthsu sakhya
Aspandhanam gathimathaam pulakastharoonaam
Niryoga pasa krutha lakshanayor vichithram 19
When Krishna and Rama pass through forest with their friends
Carry with them m ropes to bind hind legs of cows while milking
And when Krishna plays his flute, all moving things of the forest
Becomes still and the non moving ones tremble in ecstacy
Yevam vidhaa Bhagawatho yaa Vrindava chaarina
Varnayanthyo midho gopya kreeda sthanmayathaam yayu 20
Like this those who move in Brindavana described,
The God and became completely absorbed in him
