Gita Govinda -Shri Jayadeva Gosvami
Act Seven : nägara näräyaëaù
The Dextrous Divinity
Scene Fifteen : Song 15 : Verse 29
CommentaryIn the ecstasy of writing this song, Shri Jayadeva considers himself to be the best amongst all the servants of Madhuripu and prays that the disgraceful characteristics prevalent in this present age of quarrel and hypocrisy may never enter those who hear this song. The word rasa-bhaëane means “one who speaks of sensuality in a way that is full of rasa”. Hari-guëane refers to Shri Jayadeva as “one who repeatedly recites the glories of Shri Hari”. All the statements of the poet in this song are excitants of rasa (uddépana). When this rasa appears, the dark tendencies aroused by the influence of Kali-yuga can no longer enter the heart. |
