Chorato Purusa Abhiman lyrics

choḍato puruṣa-abhimān kiṅkorī hoiluṅ āji, kān!

chodato purusa-abhiman kinkori hoilun aji, kan!

छोडतो पुरुषअभिमान किङ्कोरी होइलुङ आजि, कान्!

Gone is the vanity of male egoism, O Kana. Now I am Your faithful maidservant.

baraja-bipine sakhī-sāth sevana korobuṅ, rādhā-nāth!

baraja-bipine sakhi-sath sevana korobun, radha-nath!

बरजबिपिने सखीसाथ सेवन कोरोबुङ्, राधानाथ्!

O Lord of Radha, in the groves of Vraja I will perform devotional service as a follower of one of the sakhis.

kusume gāṅthobuṅ hār tulasī-maṇi-mañjarī tār

kusume ganthobun har tulasi-mani-manjari tar

कुसुमे गाङ्थोबुङ हार तुलसीमणिमञ्जरी तार

I will string together a necklace of forest flowers, and tulasi buds shall be the jewels of that necklace.

jatane deobuṅ sakhī-kare hāte laobo sakhī ādare

jatane deobun sakhi-kare hate laobo sakhi adare

जतने देओबुङ सखीकरे हाते लओबो सखी आदरे

With utmost care I will place the garland in the hands of that confidential devotee, and she will take it with affection.

sakhī dibo tuwā duhuk gale dūrato herobuṅ kutūhale

sakhi dibo tuwa duhuk gale durato herobun kutuhale

सखी दिबो तुwआ दुहुक गले दूरतो हेरोबुङ कुतूहले

Then she will place the garland around both Your necks, while I watch in wonder from afar.

sakhī kahabo,—“śuno sundarī! rahobi kuñje mama kiṅkorī

sakhi kahabo,—“suno sundari! rahobi kunje mama kinkori

सखी कहबो,—“शुनो सुन्दरी! रहोबि कुञ्जे मम किङ्कोरी

The confidant will then say to me, “Listen, O beautiful one, you should remain in this grove as my attendant.”

gāṅthobi mālā mano-hārinī niti rādhā-kṛṣṇa-vimohinī

ganthobi mala mano-harini niti radha-krsna-vimohini

गाङ्थोबि माला मनोहारिनी निति राधाकृष्णविमोहिनी

“Daily you shall string together beautiful flower garlands that will enchant Radha and Krsna.”

tuwā rakhana-bhāra hāmārā mama kuñja-kuṭīra tohārā

tuwa rakhana-bhara hamara mama kunja-kutira tohara

तुwआ रखनभार हामारा मम कुञ्जकुटीर तोहारा

“The responsibility for your maintenance shall be mine. My cottage in the grove is yours.”

rādhā-mādhava-sevana-kāle rahobi hāmāra antarāle

radha-madhava-sevana-kale rahobi hamara antarale

राधामाधवसेवनकाले रहोबि हामार अन्तराले

“When I serve Radha and Madhava, you will attend behind me.”

tāmbula sāji’ karpūra āni’ deobi moe āpana jāni’

tambula saji’ karpura ani’ deobi moe apana jani’

ताम्बुल साजिऽ कर्पूर आनिऽ देओबि मोए आपन जानिऽ

“After preparing tambula and bringing camphor, you will give them to me, knowing me to be yours.”

bhakativinoda śuni’ bāt sakhī-pade kare pranipāt

bhakativinoda suni’ bat sakhi-pade kare pranipat

भकतिविनोद शुनिऽ बात सखीपदे करे प्रनिपात

Bhaktivinoda, having heard all these instructions, bows down at the lotus feet of that confidential sakhi.
