Mukunda Datta das singing a Vrindavan bhajan “ashray ka pad”.
Please let me reside at the foot of Sri Govardhana hill. Daily taking the lotus feet of Madana-Gopala into my heart. Body ecstatic while rolling in the dust of Vraja, may I wash off in Govinda-kunda;
‘Rasika-pritam’ asks: please tell Giridhari about these confidential things, which are dear to my heart.
The above loosely translates an old Braja-bhasha song
(Raga Bihag, trital):
sri govardhana ki rahiye tareti |
nita-prati madana-gupala lala ke, carana-kamala cita lahiye |
tana pulakita braja-raja men lautata, govinda-kunda men nhahiye |
rasika-pritama hita-cita ki baten, giridhariji son kahiye |
