TRANSLATION

(Refrain) The flute that brings auspiciousness to Gokula now thunders King Kamadeva's order to go to the forest.

 

1) Why do you make a delay with these superfluous decorations? I cannot tolerate even a moment's delay!

 

2) "Madhava's toenails are very splendid." “The moon is now rising!" "Don't tell me again and again how I should fear my superiors! I yearn to run to Madhava!"

 

3) Look! The gopis are all going to the Yamuna's shore to serve Madhava, who is always handsomely decorated with forest flowers.

 

Remarks/ Extra Information:

Srila Jiva Gosvami explains that a gopi eagerly desiring to meet Krsna at an appointed rendezvous sings this song to a gopi friend engaged in decorating her.

 

This song is to be sung in Carnatic Raga Karnata.
