piya binu, pyārī gai baurāya

English meaning

A virahiṇī has grown delirious in Shyāmasundara’s separation. Revealing her state to herself, one of her intimate friends says, “Oh sakhi! You have gone mad.” The virahiṇī replies, “No, no, see, the Beloved has come in a jovial mood.” Her friend says, “No, this is the spring season.” At this, the virahiṇī says, “Look, look, sitting on the tamāla-tree, the Beloved is calling me.” Her friend says, “It is not the voice of the Beloved, rather it is the cooing of a cuckoo.” At this the virahiṇī says, “Look, even His pītāmbara is fluttering.” The friend replies, “It is not the pītāmbara; it is the yellow-coloured blossom of the mango-tree.” The virahiṇī says, “Oh sakhi! Don’t you see His curly locks of hair are swinging in the air?” The friend replies, “No, these are the swarms of black-bees humming on the mango-blossom.” Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says that the virahiṇī repeatedly clasps the new leaves of the mango-tree to her bosom, thinking them to be the reddish soles of Shyāmasundara’s feet.
