He is the same, who is absorbed in amorous play with the gopis at this time.464.
Krishna smiled and made a condition with the gopis in Braj-mandal
Krishna, smilingly talked about a play involving bet, with the gopis of Braja and said, “Come, let us jump into the river together
When God jumped into the water of the Jamna with the gopis,
In this way, when Krishna jumped into the water of Yamuna alongwith the gopis, then he very quickly kissed the face of one of them after diving.465.
Speech of the gopis addressed to Krishna:
SWAYYA
Shyam (poet) says, all the beautiful gopis together spoke a very wise thing to Kanha.
All the gopis together smilingly said cunningly to Krishna, whose beautiful eyes are big like deer and agile like fish
(Whose) bodies are (shining) like gold and their faces are soft like lotus flowers (they) are eager for lust and say, O protector of religion!
Whose body is like gold, who is the protector of the lowly, to him, with pleased mind, in extreme pleasure and bowed heads, the gopis said humbly.466.
The gopis said joyfully, “He, who was the lord of monkeys in Treta age
He, whoin ire, killed Ravana and was pleased to gave to kingdom to Vibhishana
Whose supernatural powers are discussed throughout the world
” All these women are discussing with him about his amorous play they have rememberedand repeated the name of Chandi and begged from her Krishna as their husband.467.
When the gopis spoke of Rasa Bakhni, then Krishna gave them a clear answer
When the gopis talked about the amorous pleasure, Krishna told them plainly that they had left behind their husbands and they would not be forgiven even after death
am not in love with you, why do you make boastful words of (love) juice.
He said, “I do not love you and why do you talk to me about the pleasures of love?,” saying this Krishna became silent and began to play on the flute the tune of Kafi.468.
Speech of Krishna addressed to gopis:
SWAYYA
The poet Shyam says, when Krishna answered all the beautiful gopis with a smile.
When Krishna smilingly gave this reply to gopis, even then, they did not oney Krishna and return to their homes and remained endchanted on seeing his face
Then Krishna took the flute in his hand and began to play on it
The tune of the flute had this impact on the gopis that they felt that Krishna had applied salt to their wounds.469.
Just as a deer is seen amongst the does, in the same manner Krishna was there amongst the gopis
Seeing Krishna, even the enemies were pleased and the glory of Krishna increased in their mind,
Seeing which the deer run away and then do not have any fear in their mind,
Seeing whom, the deer of the forest come running and whose mind ever wants to see Krishna, the same Krishna is there in the forest and whosoever sees him, his mind becomes covetous for seeing him.470.
Speech of gopis addressed to Krishna:
SWAYYA
The same gopis began to say to Krishna, whose words are as sweet as nectar,
That gopi, uttering the sweet ambrosial speech said, “We are holding the discussion with him, who is the removed of the sufferings of all saints
That hey! Having left our husbands, our faith has become enamored of you.
“We have come to Krishna after leaving our husbands because the influence of the power of lust is formidably increasing in our body and seeing you, we could not suppress those powers.”471.
Speech of the poet:
SWAYYA
Krishna thought in his mind that these gopis had been intoxicated with lust on seeing him
Then he, without any hesitation, copulated with them like ordinary men
He absorbed himself with the gopis who were blazing with lust
The poet Shyam says that in this amorous play, it is beyond comprehension whether Krishan has created the gopis or gopis have cheated Krishna.472.
He who assumed the form of Rama in the Treta Yuga and performed excellent conduct;
He, who incarnating in Treta age as Ram, performed many other works of gentleness, the same is the destroyer of the enemies and the protector of saints in all conditions
The same Ram, in Dvapara age, is the wearer of yellow garments as Krishna and is the killer of enemies
He is absorbed now in amorous play smilingly with the gopis of Braja.473.
He plays the Malasiri and the Ramkali and the auspicious sarang (the ragas) at will (in the flute).
He is causing everyone to listen through the tunes of his flute the musical modes of Malshri, Ramkali, Sarang, Jaitshri, Shuddh Malhar and Bilawal
Taking the murli in his hand, he plays it with joy (of his mind).
