Sri Nanda Nandana Dhana Tadiya Vallabha Gana lyrics

śrī-nandānandana dhana tadīya ballabhā-gaṇa madhura-rasera ālambana gopī-gata rati jāhān gopī-cittāśroya tāhān kṛṣṇa-mātra biṣoya takhan

sri-nandanandana dhana tadiya ballabha-gana madhura-rasera alambana gopi-gata rati jahan gopi-cittasroya tahan krsna-matra bisoya takhan

श्रीनन्दानन्दन धन तदीय बल्लभागण मधुररसेर आलम्बन गोपीगत रति जाहान गोपीचित्ताश्रोय ताहान कृष्णमात्र बिषोय तखन

1-2) The delightful Son of Nanda Maharaja considers all His loving consorts, the gopis, to be His most valued treasure. Both He and they are the foundations of the mellow of conjugal love. This mellow flows back and forth between them all in these two ways: 1) when the rati (affection) flows toward the gopis and takes shelter in their hearts as the object, then Krsna becomes the one and only subject of their love, and 2) when the rati flows toward Krsna and takes shelter in His heart as the object, then the gopis become the one and only subject of His love. In this manner affection flows mutually within the sthayi bhava (the permanent ecstasy) because of the combination of both the subject and object, without which there is no possibility of genuine love existing.

jāhān rati kṛṣṇa-gata raty-āśroya kṛṣṇa-cita gopī tāhān ratira biṣoya biṣoya āśroya dhore' sthāyī-bhāba rati core naile rati udgata nā hoya

jahan rati krsna-gata raty-asroya krsna-cita gopi tahan ratira bisoya bisoya asroya dhore' sthayi-bhaba rati core naile rati udgata na hoya

जाहान रति कृष्णगत रत्याश्रोय कृष्णचित गोपी ताहान रतिर बिषोय बिषोय आश्रोय धोरेऽ स्थायीभाब रति चोरे नैले रति उद्गत ना होय

bibhābete ālambana rase nitya prayojana braje tāi kṛṣṇa gopīnātha madana-mohana dhana brajāṅganā gopī-jana ballabha rasika rādhā-nātha

bibhabete alambana rase nitya prayojana braje tai krsna gopinatha madana-mohana dhana brajangana gopi-jana ballabha rasika radha-natha

बिभाबेते आलम्बन रसे नित्य प्रयोजन ब्रजे ताइ कृष्ण गोपीनाथ मदनमोहन धन ब्रजाङ्गना गोपीजन बल्लभ रसिक राधानाथ

Thus there is the necessary functioning of this combination of foundation which contain this love for Krsna, and these mellows are the eternal and topmost goal of all existences. Thus within Vraja, Krsna is known as Gopinatha, the Lord of the gopis. And the most highly valued treasure of this Madana-Mohana is all the cowherd maidens of Vraja, the gopis. Krsna is their dearmost lover, their sweet relisher, and the Lord and Master of Srimati Radharani.

swīya-parakīya-bhede rasa rasāntarāswāde nityānanda biraje mādhaba boro bhāgyabāna jei nije ālambana hoi' āswādaye se rasa-āsaba

swiya-parakiya-bhede rasa rasantaraswade nityananda biraje madhaba boro bhagyabana jei nije alambana hoi' aswadaye se rasa-asaba

स्wईयपरकीयभेदे रस रसान्तरास्wआदे नित्यानन्द बिरजे माधब बोरो भाग्यबान जेइ निजे आलम्बन होइऽ आस्wआदये से रसआसब

Lord Madhava thoroughly enjoys Himself in full eternal bliss as He tastes the internal mellows contained within the principles known as sviya (love within marriage) and parakiya (unwedded love). And one who also becomes one of these basic foundations for sharing these loving exchanges is most fortunate, for she also tastes the maddening wine of these supremely transcendental mellows along with Krsna Himself.
