Panca Sakhi Madhya Cara Nitya Siddha lyrics

pañca-sakhī madhye cāra nitya-siddha rādhikāra se sakale sādhana nā koilo sakhī boli' ukta jei sādhana-prabhābe tei braja-rāja pure bāsa pāilo

panca-sakhi madhye cara nitya-siddha radhikara se sakale sadhana na koilo sakhi boli' ukta jei sadhana-prabhabe tei braja-raja pure basa pailo

पञ्चसखी मध्ये चार नित्यसिद्ध राधिकार से सकले साधन ना कोइलो सखी बोलिऽ उक्त जेइ साधनप्रभाबे तेइ ब्रजराज पुरे बास पाइलो

Amongst the five divisions of Radharani's sakhis, four of these groups are nitya-siddha, or eternally situated in their roles. They did not have to perform any ritualistic sadhana to achieve their position. The fifth division known as “sakhi” consists of new gopis who have attained residence in Vraja by dint of their sadhana practice.

sei sakhī dwi-prakāra sādhanete siddha āra sādhana-para boliyā gaṇana siddha boli' ākhya tāṅra gopī-deha hoilo jāṅra kori' rāge jugala-bhajana

sei sakhi dwi-prakara sadhanete siddha ara sadhana-para boliya ganana siddha boli' akhya tanra gopi-deha hoilo janra kori' rage jugala-bhajana

सेइ सखी द्wइप्रकार साधनेते सिद्ध आर साधनपर बोलिया गणन सिद्ध बोलिऽ आख्य ताङ्र गोपीदेह होइलो जाङ्र कोरिऽ रागे जुगलभजन

These sakhis are also of two varieties --- those still situated in their sadhana practice as sadhaka manjaris, and those who are already situated in their spiritual bodies beyond the rules of sadhana. Thus those who attain perfection receive the body of a gopi and continuously worship the Divine Couple in spontaneous love.

kṛṣṇākṛṣṭa muni-jana tathā upaniṣad-gaṇa je nā loilo gopīra swarūpa sādhana ābeśe bhaje siddhi tabu nā upaje braja-bhāba-prāpti aparūpa

krsnakrsta muni-jana tatha upanisad-gana je na loilo gopira swarupa sadhana abese bhaje siddhi tabu na upaje braja-bhaba-prapti aparupa

कृष्णाकृष्ट मुनिजन तथा उपनिषद्गण जे ना लोइलो गोपीर स्wअरूप साधन आबेशे भजे सिद्धि तबु ना उपजे ब्रजभाबप्राप्ति अपरूप

There are many great saints and devotees as well as the personified Upanishads themselves who are all attracted by Lord Krsna, but who haven't accepted the topmost perfection of receiving the form of a gopi. Although they are all definitely absorbed in their regulative worship of the Lord, their eternal spiritual perfection still doesn't awaken fully, because attainment of the mood of Vraja is a very uncommon and rare perfection.

je je śruti-muni-gaṇa gopī haya su-bhajana korilo sakhīra pada dhari' nitya-sakhī-kṛpā-bale tat-sālokya-lābha-phale sebā kore śrī-rādhā-śrī-hari

je je sruti-muni-gana gopi haya su-bhajana korilo sakhira pada dhari' nitya-sakhi-krpa-bale tat-salokya-labha-phale seba kore sri-radha-sri-hari

जे जे श्रुतिमुनिगण गोपी हय सुभजन कोरिलो सखीर पद धरिऽ नित्यसखीकृपाबले तत्सालोक्यलाभफले सेबा कोरे श्रीराधाश्रीहरि

But it is heard from authoritative sources that there are some great souls who execute their worship in the mood of the gopis, catching a firm grip on the lotus feet of one of Radharani's girlfriends. Then, by the power of that nitya-sakhi's affectionate favor, one ultimately attains a residential place in that sakhi's own abode, where she eternally spends her time waiting on the Divine Couple Sri Radha and Sri Hari.

debī-gaṇa sei bhābe sakhīra sālokya-lābhe kṛṣṇa-sebā kore sakhī ho'ye brajera bidhāna eho gopī binā āra keho nā pāibe braja-juba-dwaye

debi-gana sei bhabe sakhira salokya-labhe krsna-seba kore sakhi ho'ye brajera bidhana eho gopi bina ara keho na paibe braja-juba-dwaye

देबीगण सेइ भाबे सखीर सालोक्यलाभे कृष्णसेबा कोरे सखी होऽये ब्रजेर बिधान एहो गोपी बिना आर केहो ना पाइबे ब्रजजुबद्wअये

Thus one becomes one of Radharani's eternal girlfriends just to be able to render eternal service to the pleasure of Krsna within the same abode of another sakhi. This is all due to voluntarily accepting the mood of that sakhi. This is actually the only real law which allows one entrance into Vraja --- that is, without the favor on another merciful gopi, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to enter into the ecstatic eternal service of the ecstatic eternal Lovers.
