(Songs of God Krishna On Cowherd Lady)
13) What a comment! O Rama Rama!
You are My sole goal, Gopa Bhama! (Chorus)
(When a shock is received, generally, people say ‘O Rama Rama!’ Gopa Bhaama means cowherd lady. The comment passed by cowherd lady to Uddhava was that Krishna is very hard in His heart.)
Rukmini is mere statue, Satyabhaama is very jealous,
Tearful Radha is Ganga River, cowherd lady is My love.
(Radha was the leader of Gopikas and showed the ultimate path of devotion. She married Krishna secretly under a big tree between two villages of Radha and Krishna. God Brahma performed their marriage.)
Keep aside your basket having butter to be sold in the city,
Both of us will take bath together in Yamuna for some time.
O Indra! Wait for some time, I will solve your problem shortly,
I am busy with My cowherd darling to pacify her anger in love.
(god Indra approaches God Vishnu often, whenever he gets problems with demons.)
For some time in illusion and for some time in unimaginable God,
In the day time house, in night Brunda, entertainment changes.
My body alone is present in this Dwaarakaa, the capital city,
My heart is always in Brundaavanam with My cowherd lady.
Our family members are the main hurdles between both of us,
Can any wall stand between God-Purusha and Gopikaa-Prakruti?
You jumped over elaborate ethics like Hanuman jumping the sea,
You declared that God alone is husband and all souls are His wives.
(The Veda says that all souls are females and wives of God – Striyah satiih pumsah…. God is maintainer of all souls and hence, is husband. The maintained are wives.)
14) O Gopikaa! hear My flute song,
This is the essence of all Vedas. (Chorus)
Veda says that God alone is truth, I am the absolute truth,
This creation is My imaginary world, non-existent, existing.
(The Veda says “Naanyat kimchana mishat”, “Ekamevaadvitiiyam”. The creation is non-existent to God and existent to the soul, which is a part of the creation only.)
Prakruti is of two types: Paraa the awareness, Aparaa the inert,
Both paraa and aparaa are forms of energy created by Me only.
All this creation is the stage for My roaming to pass time,
None can control Me since I am the ultimate controller.
I came as Rama and now I am Krishna, My step is justice,
Sages and angels know this truth and always follow Me.
My imagination power, Maayaa or basic illusion, cooks food,
For Me, angels are sweet dishes and demons are hot dishes.
Happiness and misery change alternatively like day and night,
This creation is My cinema, running on for My entertainment.
First, I am spectator and then, became actor in hero-role,
While acting in a role I see entire creation with inner sight.
The eye present in centre of My peacock feather on My head,
Represents the inner knowledge sight, My girlfriend! My life!
15) Don’t go, don’t go, O Gopi! O Gopi!
Hear, hear Me, stop, stop walking. (Chorus)
Who are you? Who am I? Identify, identify once at least,
I am your preacher, Datta, you are My disciple, the sage.
Why do you sell this butter? to pacify your hunger?
Have faith in Me, hunger and death also run away.
Give Me milk, curd and butter together for pleasing Me,
These are body, word and mind always devoted to Me.
At least, give Me butter-mind, enough, O look-dancer!
Butter is the essence of milk and curd, the final form.
You can sell milk and curd in the city for your worldly life,
But, don’t give butter to any other soul except to super soul.
To pay tax to king Kamsa, milk and curd are quite enough,
Save the butter in the pot, I will come alone and steal it.
The wealth earned by sale will go away, but, I never leave you,
I will be following you in every birth hiding Myself as the thief.
16) O beauty of Brundvanam-garden!
These are My smart steps for you. (Chorus)
O mad madam! Realize truth, who is this Krishna-Datta?
Krishna, outer human form, Datta hidden energetic form.
Madness is climax of devotion, a preacher taught Upanishats,
To a disciple, who became mad, preacher wept “I am not mad”!
(The disciple became mad of God. The preacher wept not that his disciple became mad, but, wept that he did not get such madness in spite of very long time of his preaching Upanishats to disciples! Madness is said to be the ultimate stage in the steps of devotion – Unmaado maranam tatah.)
I told “proceed with your old bonds, why new bond?”
You told “those are illusory, this is the real and eternal.”
O white smile! I am mischievous from My childhood,
I am darling on this flute, I am ultimate God in Veda.
Datta is mad in spiritual knowledge of all the Vedas,
Krishna is mad in various sweet songs of this flute.
I am born in Yadavas, who are very innocent in tricks,
I am also innocent in responding your innocent love.
(This song is in Sanskrit.)
17) Krishna eva- Datta eshaa,
Yaadavosmi -Brahmanosmi. (Chorus)
Piitavastra -Viitavastra-, Venupaani -Shatkarosmi,
Pinchamakuta-jaatajuuta, raajyapaala-taapasosmi.
Chandanaanga-bhasmalepa, Niilavarna-paandurosmi,
Venugaana-Vedapaatha, Nandasuunu-ratrijosmi,
Raasakeli-tattvabodha, nrutyalola-sancharosmi,
Vishvamuurti-sattrimurti, rekavatra-tryaananosmi.
(English Translation of the Above Song)
This Krishna is that Datta,
Yaadava, also Braahmana. (Chorus)
With silk cloth-without cloth, flute in two hands-six hands,
Peacock feather-matted hair, ruling king-sitting sage.
Sandal scented-ash covered, blue colour-white colour,
Flute songs-reciting Vedas, son of Nanda-son of Atri.
Divine Love songs-spiritual preaching, always dance-always wandering,
Cosmic vision-three divine forms, with one face-with three faces.
18) Mind of Gopikaa is butter,
Greater than that is Zero. (Chorus)
Reciting My name, penance, scripture and analysis,
Are not equal to the foot-nail of My cowherd darling.
My love led to natural drop out of her all worldly bonds,
The true path for salvation is to follow her holy feet-dust.
Madness to darling is common point in simile of Naarada,
Both differ in all other points, simile needs one point only.
(Naarada compared Gopika to illegal darling in only one point, which is that both search their darlings vigorously without any fear. An illegal darling alone is searching for her darling with climax of love after crossing Narmada River in the mid night (raatrau tarati Naramadaam). She feared for the cry of a crow in the day time (divaa kaakarutaat bhiitaa). Such force of love exists in the love of a bad lady for her darling and in the love of Gopikaa for her darling, Krishna. This is the common point in both cases for the simile. All other points are totally different. The bad lady sacrificed only one worldly bond with her legal husband and her darling is a common man only. Gopikaa sacrificed all worldly bonds (world itself) for the sake of her darling, who is God.)
She was ready to go to harsh hell if My headache disappears,
She gave plenty of her feet-dust, she is embodiment of love.
(Once Krishna acted headache telling that the feet-dust of a devotee is its medicine. Sage Narada asked all devotees for their feet-dust. All refused saying that they will go to hell if their feet-dust is kept on the forehead of God. Gopikas gave immediately their feet-dust in lot. Narada told them that they will go to hell by doing so. They replied that they are ready to go to hell if the headache of their Krishna is cured.)
