bhora bhai jāgo sundara shyāma

English meaning

Awaking the sleeping Shyāmasundara, Mother Yashodā says, “the day has dawned, wake up.” Mother Yashodā, swaying and bending in the intoxication of motherly-love, kisses her son’s face repeatedly and says, “Madhumaṅgala, Shrīdāmā, and other sakhās have been calling out for You by name, standing at the door. See, the calves are not drinking their mother’s milk, they are waiting for You.” Still, Shyāmasundara refuses to hear. Murmuring ‘Ūṁ Ūṁ’, He covers Himself even more with His yellow garment. The beauty of this scene is absolutely indescribable! Just then Balarāma said, “Oh Kanhaiyā! Listen with open ears, at least I am going to graze the cows.” In the words of Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī, “After hearing the words of Balarāma, Shyāmasundara immediately got up with a start.”
