sakhī! maiṁ, hvai gai kāu ki āja

English meaning

(A gopī’s first encounter with Shyāmasundara and her description of it to another gopī.) Oh sakhi! I became someone’s today! He became mine and I became His. I no longer have any concern with the world. Today, I was blessed with that pure love which I had been begging for at the door of innumerable beings in the course of innumerable past lives. A beggar since the beginning-less time, I was crowned as a queen today. From now on, I will do only that which pleases my Beloved and increases our love every moment. ‘I became someone’s, I became someone’s!’ saying thus repeatedly to her friend, the gopī began to dance like a mad woman, abandoning all sense of propriety. Seeing the gopī in this transcendental state, Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī said, “You cannot hide the truth from me. I know whom you belong to. He is certainly Shrī Kṛishṇa Chandra, the essence of bliss!”
