kahuṁ dekhe ālī! lalita-tribhaṅgī lāla

English meaning

A gopī is asking her intimate friend, “Oh sakhi! Have you, somewhere, seen Shyāmasundara who stands captivatingly, curving His body at the neck, waist and feet? He has a lovely peacock-feathered crown adorned on His head and He has big lotus-like eyes. His eyebrows are arched and golden earrings are dangling from His ears. The musk-tilaka is graced on His forehead. His alluring pītāmbara is swaying gently on His chest and a long vanamālā is embracing His neck. He is wearing gem-studded bracelets on His wrists and a kiṅkiṇī is jingling sweetly around His waist. Anklets beautified on His feet tinkle enchantingly as He walks in an intoxicated manner, putting even a swan to shame. He steals the hearts of all the gopīs by merely smiling and playing melodiously on His flute.” Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “That same Nandanandana Gopāla is my Beloved and the one and only treasure of my life.”
