Shri-jayadeva-kaver idam uditam
rasika-janaà tanutäm ati-muditam
nätha hare! sédati

Translation

May this song of the poet Jayadeva awaken abundant jubilation in the hearts of those who are expert in relishing rasa.

Commentary

Shri Jayadeva says, “A sakhé has sung the glories of Rädhä’s love herein. May her words bestow bliss upon the expert devotees whose hearts are infused with the romantic mellow.”

This twelfth song portrays the vipralambha-bhäva of çåìgära-rasa. The alaìkära is samuccaya, the hero is çaöha näyaka and the heroine is a distraught väsakasajjä näyikä.
