All the gopis weep together and utter helplessness like this.
All the gopis in their lamentation are saying modestly, “Abandoning the thoughts of love and separation, Krishna has gone to Mathura from Braja
One (gopi) has fallen on the earth saying thus and one Braj-nari is taking care and saying thus.
Saying this someone is falling on the earth and someone, protecting herself, is saying, “O friends! listen to me, the Lord of Braja has forgotten all the women of Braja.”865,
Krishna is always standing before my eyes, therefore I do not see anything else
They had been absorbed with him in amorous play, their dilemma is increasing now on remembering him
He has forsaken the love of the residents of Braja and has become hard-hearted, because he has not sent any message
O my mother! we are seeing towards that Krishna, but he is not visible.866
Poem based on Twelve Months:
SWAYYA
In the moth of Phalgun, the young damsels are roaming with Krishna in the forest, throwing dry colours on each other
Taking the pumps in their hands, they are singing charming songs:
The sorrows of the mind were removed in the very beautiful alleys.
Removing the sorrows from their mind they are running in the alcoves and in the love of the beautiful Krishna, they have forgotten the decorum of their house.867.
The gopis are blooming like flowers with the flowers attached to their garments
After bedecking themselves they are singing for Krishna like nightingale
Now it is the spring season, therefore they have forsaken all the embellishment
Seeing their glory even Brahma is wonder-struck.868.
Once the flowers of palas were blooming and the comfort-giving wind was blowing
The black bees were humming here and there, Krishna had played on his flute
Hearing this flute the gods were getting pleased and the beauty of that spectacle is indescribable
At that time, that season was joy-giving, but now the same has become distressing.869.
In the month of Jeth, O friend! we used to be absorbed in amorous play on the bank of the river, being pleased in our mind
We plastered our bodies with sandal and sprinkled rose-water on the earth
We applied fragrance to our clothes and that glory is indescribable
That occasion was highly pleasing, but now the same occasion has become troublesome without Krishna.870.
When the wind was strong and the dust was blown by the gusts.
The time, when the wind blew ferociously, the cranes arose and the sunshine was agonizing, even that time appeared to us as joy-giving
All of us played with Krishna splashing water on one another
That time was extremely comfort-giving, but now the same time has become agonising.871.
Look, O friend! the clouds have surrounded us and it is a beautiful spectacle created by raindrops
The sound of cuckoo, peacock and frog is resounding
In such a time we were absorbed with Krishna in amorous play
How much comfortable was that time and now this time is greatly distressing.872.
Sometimes the clouds burst into rain and the shade of the tree appeared comfort-giving
We used to wander with Krishna, wearing the garments of flowers
While roaming, we were absorbed in amorous play
It is impossible to describe that occasion, remaining with Krishna, that season has become distressing.873.
In the month of Ashvin, with great joy, we played with Krishna
Being intoxicated Krishna used to play on (his flute) and produce tunes of charming musical modes,
We sang with him and that spectacle is indescribable
We remained in his company, that season was pleasure-giving and now the same season has become distressing.874.
In the month of Kartik, we, in delight, were absorbed in amorous play with Krishna
In the current of the white river, the gopis also wore white clothes
The gopas also wore white ornaments and necklaces of pearls
They all looked fine, that time was very comfortable and now this time has become extremely agonising.875.
In the month of Maghar, in great pleasure, we used to play with Krishna
When we felt cold, we removed the coolness by blending our limbs with the limbs of Krishna
