āya nahiṁ, mādhava mādhava āya

English meaning

A virahiṇī says, “Oh sakhi! The spring has arrived, but Shyāmasundara has not come as yet. ‘Mustard’ appears to be beside herself with joy, attaining the company of her beloved, ‘Spring’. The cluster of the mango-blossoms is, as if, absolutely swollen with pride. Even the cuckoo is singing praises of spring in exhilaration. The flower of the Kadamba tree also seems to manifest the ecstatic symptoms of horripilation by blooming. The old leaves of all trees have fallen down and new leaves have taken their place as if the pain of separation has been replaced by the joy of union.” In the words of Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī, “The blossomed flower of Palāsha is, as if, teasing us, the virahiṇīs, with a titter.”
