- Verse 1
paro sakhi, jhūlan me jhajaro ratana khacita candan ko jhulanā, yamunā pulina paro,
paro sakhi, jhulan me jhajaro ratana khacita candan ko jhulana, yamuna pulina paro,
परो सखि, झूलन मे झजरो रतन खचित चन्दन को झुलना, यमुना पुलिन परो,
Some thing very special happened today! Instead of enjoying the Swing Lila, the Divine Couple entered into a unique Love Quarrel!! The eternal associates, Sakhis and the dedicated gopis have arranged the beautiful swing made of sandalwood and studded with precious diamonds, hung from the blooming fragrant Kadamba tree on the sandy bank of Yamuna River, in a charming bower for the swinging pleasure of the Divine Couple.
- Verse 2
lalitā kahī, "calo jhūlana kaham, dovu ṭhākura hamāro", kahyo lāla "lāḍilihim jhulāvaim, nahi haum rahata kharo",
lalita kahi, "calo jhulana kaham, dovu thakura hamaro", kahyo lala "ladilihim jhulavaim, nahi haum rahata kharo",
ललिता कही, "चलो झूलन कहम्, दोवु ठाकुर हमारो", कह्यो लाल "लाडिलिहिम झुलावैम्, नहि हौम रहत खरो",
Lalita Sakhi has made a cordial request, "O dear Sweethearts! We invite Our precious Lordships to enjoy the pastime of swing lila showering Divine joy on all the blessed souls!" Then the naughty, quarrelsome Young Boy, Sri Krishna said with a smile, "Let My Fair Girl sit alone on the swing today. I feel like doing My 'seva' (loving service) of pushing gently while Her Highness is seated Herself upon the blessed swing! If not, I am standing right here firmly!! I am not going to move at all from here nor joining Her in the playful swinging!"
- Verse 3
kahyo lāḍilihu "lāla jhulāvaim", vacana gumāna bharo taba 'kṛpālu' kaha hari te "tuma kata ājuhim nayī karo!"
kahyo ladilihu "lala jhulavaim", vacana gumana bharo taba 'krpalu' kaha hari te "tuma kata ajuhim nayi karo!"
कह्यो लाडिलिहु "लाल झुलावैम्", वचन गुमान भरो तब ऽकृपालुऽ कह हरि ते "तुम कत आजुहिम नयी करो!"
Hearing His words, the tender Sweet Girl, Radharani arrogantly replies with pride and distaste, "Let the mischievous Boy be seated alone on the swing today! I have no desire to accompany Him. I, too, long to enjoy rocking My Lord slowly on the swing in gentle movements!!" Her words are full of feigned anger and Her decision seems to be final. All the Sakhis and playmates are very much disappointed as their Lordships have entered into this love quarrel and Both of Them decided not to swing together, unless Their demand is met. Krpalu Dasa then prays to Lord Beloved, Hari, "O my precious Divine Beloved! Why have you resorted to this unwelcome decision today? I am fully aware of Your heart-felt desire to serve Your Soul selflessly. Please also consider the yearning of Your surrendered souls to be engaged in Your Loving service. Graciously reconcile with Your Mistress and let us all enjoy the celebration of Your playful pastime of Swing Lila to our hearts' content! Come on, kindly be seated upon the swing so that we can gently push Both of You together!"
