O Deva, may this charming, radiant and melodious invocation of auspiciousness (maìgaläcaraëa) composed by Shi Jayadeva increase your happiness. May it bestow bliss upon your devotees who hear and recite your glorious qualities. May you be triumphant! May you be triumphant! CommentaryOn completing his eulogy of Bhagavän, Shi Jayadeva presents this humble supplication, “O Deva, by reciting this auspicious invocation, I have taken a vow to sing about the mellows of paramour love, ujjvala-rasa, and to describe your amorous pastimes with Rädhä. Simply by doing so, turbulent waves of euphoria have begun to rise within my heart. If there is so much bliss in this invocation, then I cannot estimate how much there will be in the narration of your pastimes. May my auspicious song be a source of joy for you both and may it also confer spiritual success upon those who hear and recite it.” The metre of this song is maìgala chanda. |
