Kunda Kusume Karu lyrics

kunda-kusume karu kabaraki bhāra hṛdaye birājita motima hāra

kunda-kusume karu kabaraki bhara hrdaye birajita motima hara

कुन्दकुसुमे करु कबरकि भार हृदये बिराजित मोतिम हार

Jasmine flowers are twined in her braids. A pearl necklace glistens on her chest.

candane caracita rucira kapūra aṅgahi aṅga anaṅga bhari pūra

candane caracita rucira kapura angahi anga ananga bhari pura

चन्दने चरचित रुचिर कपूर अङ्गहि अङ्ग अनङ्ग भरि पूर

Her limbs are gloriously anointed with camphor and sandal paste. Her limbs are flooded with amorous desires.

cāndanī rajanī ujorali gorī hari abhisāra rabhasa-rase bhori

candani rajani ujorali gori hari abhisara rabhasa-rase bhori

चान्दनी रजनी उजोरलि गोरी हरि अभिसार रभसरसे भोरि

Her fair complexion is glorious in the moonlit night. Sipping the nectar of yearning to meet Krsna, she is overcome.

dhabala bibhūṣaṇa ambara dhara-i dhabalima kaumudī mili tanu cala-i

dhabala bibhusana ambara dhara-i dhabalima kaumudi mili tanu cala-i

धबल बिभूषण अम्बर धरै धबलिम कौमुदी मिलि तनु चलै

Her garments and ornaments are white. As she walks, her graceful form meets the white moonlight.

hera-ite parijana locana bhula raṅga-putalī yena rasa māhā bula

hera-ite parijana locana bhula ranga-putali yena rasa maha bula

हेरैते परिजन लोचन भुल रङ्गपुतली येन रस माहा बुल

She blunders. She glances at her kinsmen's eyes. As a puppet dances on a stage, she dances the dance of tasting nectar pastimes.

pūrita manoratha gati anibāra guru-kula-kaṇṭaka ki karaye pāra

purita manoratha gati anibara guru-kula-kantaka ki karaye para

पूरित मनोरथ गति अनिबार गुरुकुलकण्टक कि करये पार

Without stopping, she goes to fulfill her desire. How did she cross over the shore less ocean of thorns that were her elders?

mūrati śiṅgāra pirītimaya bhāṣa milali nikuñje kahe gobinda-dāsa

murati singara piritimaya bhasa milali nikunje kahe gobinda-dasa

मूरति शिङ्गार पिरीतिमय भाष मिललि निकुञ्जे कहे गोबिन्ददास

Her words are filled with love for a person who is like Kamadeva personified. In the forest she meets Krsna. So says Govinda dasa.
