TranslationAs the qualities of a young woman, who is expert in all arts and whose body is soft and radiant, always shine within the heart of a young man, similarly may this delightful song of Shri Jayadeva, who is unconditionally surrendered at the lotus feet of Shri Kṛṣṇa, always grace the hearts of the devotees. CommentaryShri Jayadeva says that his only protectors are the lotus feet of Shri Kṛṣṇa. He has no other guardian. His poem is adorned with tender words and the arts of poetic pertinence. A beautiful woman reigns with splendour within the heart of her hero, especially if her body is tender and she is talented in the six arts that increase rasa, such as the use of ornaments and cosmetics. In the same way, may this poem find a place within the hearts of the devotees and bring them abundant joy. This is the cherished desire of the poet. |
