11th ASHTAPADI--- JAYADEVA

 Dhira samire Yamuna thire vasathi vane Vanamali

The graphic  of the maid has moved the heart of Radha and she is in a receptive mood! The suffering of Krishna, separated from her, has disturbed Radha! Her pangs of separation are in no way inferior to His! Taking advantage of the mood and situation, Radha's maid tries to send Radha to Madhava in some way or other! She once again starts speaking about the torment that Krishna is enduring with great difficulty! She now narrates the various and incredible ways through which Krishna expresses his anguish and pangs of separation or “Viraha!”


“O Radha! Krishna, very much interested in embracing the Gopikas, is in the garden on the banks of the Yamuna even as the gentle cool breeze passes by! Krishna, whom you please with your amorous advances, is ready with His handsome personality at the rendevouz!  Please go their quickly!”


 O Radha! Krishna is revealing the rendevouz to you and playing your name on the Divine flute! He is very much appreciating the fine dust from your body carried by the wind!”


“O Radha! Even when the birds make a fluttering noise and even when there is a rustling of the leaves in the garden, He imagines that you are coming and prepares the bed!  He looks in the direction of your coming!”


“O Radha! Consider the tinkling ornments on your tender feet as your enemies! Proceed to the bush cottage full of darkness! Wrap yourself with a black blanket and go!”


O Radha! Due to your punya in the previous birth, when you are engaged in conjugal bliss, the garland of pearls in your neck falls on the chest of Madhava! His chest resembles the dark clouds with birds and you dazzle like the lightning in the


O lotus eyed Radha! The moment you see Madhava of the beauty of a thousand Manmathas, your saree and waist girdle shall loosen themselves! With nothing on your body, why not you enjoy  on the bed arranged with tender leaves?


O Radha! Your darling Madhava is mad after you! The Night is moving very fast! I have told you already to reach Krishna! Proceed quickly and satisfy the desire of Krishna!




“O dear devotees! Even as the great Bhaktha Jayadeva sings about the Divine love of Radha and Madhava, please offer your pranams to Bhagawan Krishna wholeheartedly!”


“Let the son of Devaki, who is like the bee for the lotus face of Radha, and like Indranila precious stone in the crowns of emperors, and like Yamadharmaraja in reducing the burden of earth and the one who is the source of joy for the Gopikas and the one like the meteorite for the death of Kamsa, protect us!!”
