Translation
1) Srī Rādhā says - “O sweet Krishna, give me a little love and liberate me by giving place at Your Lotus Feet.” Srī Krishna says - “O maiden with fair-complexion, raise your veil and grant me the alms of love.” Srī Rādhā says - “Having walked the path of Love, I have forgotten the way back to my home. As long as I have all the possessions, the body, mind and life - I offer all to You O beloved.” Srī Krishna - “You have sprinkled such a colour of illusion that One Who holds all in bondage is now tied with the bond of love. Which consort of Goddess Lakshmī, which God - I am a mere cowherd boy of Gokul now.” Srī Rādhā - “O cowherd boy, give me a little love and make the life of the Gopī beautiful.” 2) This is the sweet month of the meeting of the soul with the supreme soul. This is the supreme dance of Divine love. The Lord of the three worlds is a slave of His devotees. Srī Krishna is the lotus and Srī Rādhā is the fragrance. Generations are eager to witness this union. This is the supreme dance of Divine love. 3) Srī Rādhā says - “You are a liar. Your promises are false. You cheat innocent Rādhā with Your smile.” Srī Krishna says - “I am truthful. My promises are true. My love is true but your hearts are fickle.” Srī Rādhā says - “I shall be happy as You keep me. I will take all the tests and bear any pain. The happiness of the heavens is not pleasing to me. If I attain You, I do not ask for salvation.” 4) Every molecule of this creation has this realisation. This is the supreme dance of Divine love. The stars are dancing and the flowers are filled with delight. The notes of the flute echo in all directions. The spiritual consciousness is awakening in all. This is the supreme dance of Divine love.
