All of them decided, “Alright, let us go out of water and then request Krishna.”264.
SWAYYA
All the them came out of water, concealing their secret parts with their hands
They fell at the feet of Krishna and requested him in various ways
And asked him to return the stolen clothes
“We have said, whatever was in our mind give us the clothes quickly, we are shivering with cold.”265.
Speech of Krishna:
SWAYYA
Krishna said, “See, whatever I shall say now, all of you will have to accept that
Let me kiss the faces of all I shall kiss and you count, all of you
“Let me touch the nipple of your breasts, otherwise I shall behave more badly with you
I am speaking truth that I shall give you the clothes only after doing all this.”266.
Then Krishna laughed and said this thing with his mouth, O dear! I have one thing to say to you, listen.
Krishna said again, “Listen to one thing of mine and bow before me with folded hands because all of you abide now in my heart like the supernatural powers of the god of love
“I have said this to all of you for doing it, seeing the proper occasion and solitude for it
My heart has become satisfied on seeing you and receiving the donation of beauty from all of you.”267.
Speech of the poet: DOHRA
When Krishna met all the gopis
When Krishna saw towards the gopis, causing the dance of his eyes, then all of them being pleased, began to utter sweet words like ambrosia.268.
Speech of gopis addressed to Krishna:
SWAYYA
“O Krishna! already you have less understanding, you may play now in your own home
When Nand and Yashoda will listen, then you will feel more inferior with shame
Love does not (never) fall by force, (but why do you) drive nails by force.
“The love cannot be done with force, why are you doing all that? You cannot fell pleasure in such things now, because you are still a boy.”269.
KABIT
(Whose) face is like a lotus, eyes are like a deer, beauty of body is full of all people.
The gopis with lotus-like faces, doe-like eyes and with lustrous bodies filled with emotions looked impressive like the green and white colours on the rising of the moon
They are standing with Krishna, while talking about dancing and amorous pastime
They are standing like the ones standing for braiding the necklace of gems in order to vest the god of love.270.
SWAYYA
Oh my god! Why do you shoot the arrows of desire by drawing the bow in the form of Bhavan?
“O Krishna! why are you discharging the arrows of the god of love from the bow of your eyebrows? Why are you advancing towards us with increased love smilingly?
Why does he wear a slanting turban (on his head) and why does he make a slanting turban (with his eyes)?
“Why do you wear slanting turban and why do you walk slantingly also? Why are you bewitching us all? O Captivating one! you appear to us very fine, though you had sworn about it.”271.
(When) hearing the words of Sri Krishna with their ears, all the women of Braj-bhoomi started laughing.
When the women of Braja heard the words of Krishna, they got pleased in their minds and gradually, they having the gait of the elephant, came under that tree, on which Krishna was sitting
Their eyes began to see Krishna constantly they appeared like the llighting of lust
Krishna, greatly agitated, seeing those women, fell upon them like a hungry falcon.272.
(Who Sri Krishna) has a form like Kama, a face like the moon, a nose like a parrot and eyes like a deer.
Those gopis had the beauty of the god of love, faces like moon, noses like parrot, eyes like doe, bodies like gold, teeth like pomegranate, necks like pigeons and sweet speech like nightingales
Poet Shyam says, the attendants of the cows laughed and said, (O gopis!)
Krishna said to them smilingly, “You people have enchanted my mind by your signs and by causing the dance of your eyebrows.273.
Kanha is a great robber of juice. (When) he suddenly saw all the (gopis) (bathing naked) in the water (he went on their heads).
Krishna appeared like a man of taste to them and they clung to him, they said . “You must swear by Yashoda that you will not tell anyone that you had enticed us like that
They added, “We are your slaves kindly return our clothes
O Krishna, how should we bow before you? we are feeling very shy.”274.
“I have stolen your clothes and now you are enduring more cold uselessly
