hari kai gayo baṇṭāḍhāra re

English meaning

A sakhī says, “Shyāmasundara has muddled up everything! Yesterday I was standing on the bank of the river Yamunā, watching its current. In the meanwhile, Shyāmasundara came there, strolling in His swaying gait. Within no time, our eyes met. He said to me, “Oh Beloved with a nose-ring! Dally with Me a little.” In the words of Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī, the sakhī continues, “I could say nothing, since I was not even conscious of myself. All I did is to stare at Him unblinkingly.”
